Luxury antique houseboat in Aberdeen | From HK$2,768.00/2 people
While no portmanteau exists (yet) for a glamorous houseboat, staying in this one in Aberdeen is swanky nonetheless. This massive three-floor 2,100 sq ft houseboat docked in Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter claims to accommodate up to 14 people! Realistically, it will probably comfortably fit only 8 people based on our count of bedrooms/beds.
This British-style antique boat is outfitted with a cosy living room, a well-equipped open kitchen, a balcony, and a spacious front deck. It also comes with quintessential staycation entertainment: ultra HD LED television, free Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, board games, mahjong and poker.

Low-key glamping in a Jeep camper | From HK$2,950.00/2 adult + 1 child
This package includes a stay in a tricked out Jeep camper. It’s perfect for those who want a semblance of a traditional camping experience but without having to sleep in a tent on the ground.
While you can’t drive the Jeep itself, the experience is as hassle-free as it gets. You’ll be provided with all the essentials: kitchenware, gas, tableware, a mattress, blankets, pillows, two camping stools, camp lights, cleaning supplies, drinking water, 20L outdoor water storage, a portable outdoor power station and a 32L camping refrigerator. All you need to bring is your own meals and drinks. Round-trip transfer to and from the camping spot is also included.
