YOU can now stay in a floating wine barrel cabin, with a stocked tiki bar and private rowing boat.
The Canadian lodge, costing £31pp, overlooks Fox Creek, an area surrounded by vineyards.
The room is located in Essex in Ontario, with the room having panoramic views of the lake.
Inside the wine barrel is a double bed , TV and fan with a huge wall-sized window for the best views.
Two loungers and an umbrella make up most of the ‘terrace;, while a shower and a sink shaped like barrels are alongside a small BBQ.
The tiki bar, with a thatched roof and two bar stools, is stocked with crockery and wine for guests to take advantage of as well as a mini fridge.
The floating room is solar powered – although this means there is no running hot water.
Thankfully there is a fire pit to stay warm in the evenings.
Also provided is a 9ft rowing boat to paddle up and down the creek exploring the local wildlife.
The cabin is certainly popular, with the next available dates not until May 2020.
Previous guests have praised the room, saying it was a “unique and wonderful” experience and had “breathtaking” views.
It isn’t the only wine barrel you can stay in the world.
