If you thought you’d have to wait until a Japan – Australia travel bubble opens in order to get your fix of heavenly cherry blossoms, think again. A new collaboration between Pier One Sydney Harbour and content creator Tara Milk Tea has seen a Cherry Blossom Wonderland Igloo blossom atop one of Pier One Sydney Harbour’s luxe balcony suites.

From 7th May – 29th August, Pier One Sydney Harbour’s world-famous winter pop-up, Igloos on The Pier, returns to the waterfront property. Tara Milk Tea, known for her aspirational travel photography and picturesque escapes has created an all-white magical retreat with plush furnishings layering the inside of the igloo and spring-inspired florals.

As the sun begins to sink below the horizon and the glittering waters of the harbour reflect the city lights, sculptural cherry blossoms surrounding the igloo twinkle with hundreds of fairy lights. From inside the luxurious igloo, it feels as if you’re in an enchanted story. Could life get any better?

As part of the igloo experience, you’ll snack on delicious gourmet canapes or you can upgrade your experience with a grazing board or even have your own private chef grill some tasty treats on the BBQ. You can also cap off your evening with lovely glass of red or sample the latest in canned cocktails from Curatif.

If you fancy staying the night at Pier One (and who wouldn’t? It is Sydney’s most historic hotel after all), book an evening igloo session, stay overnight in a luxury balcony suite for two, then enjoy breakfast the following morning. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Almost perfect enough to give you (winter wonderland) chills. The Cherry Blossom Wonderland Igloo is available from 7th May to 29th August. Session times are 12 – 2.30pm, 3.30 – 6pm and 7 – 9.30pm.
