Donkey, everyone’s favorite talking Equus asinus from the beloved Shrek franchise, is stepping into the spotlight this Halloween as he takes on the role of swamp-sitter for the one and only Shrek. In a surprise twist, Donkey is opening up Shrek’s iconic swamp as a whimsical Airbnb destination, inviting fairytale enthusiasts to experience the magic firsthand.
Shrek’s Swamp, nestled in the picturesque Scottish Highlands, is a dream come true for fans of the ogre and his quirky entourage. Donkey, our charismatic host, is thrilled to offer guests a chance to live like an ogre, minus the torches, pitchforks, and pesky Duloc Knights. With its lush greenery, rustic interiors, and iconic outhouse, Shrek’s Swamp promises a truly unique stay.
For a symbolic cost of £0 a night, affectionately referred to as ‘brogres,’ you can request an exclusive two-night stay for up to three guests from October 27-29. During your stay, you can immerse yourself in “earwax candlelight” ambiance, savor delicious parfaits, swap stories by the fire, and indulge in a stack of freshly made waffles each morning. Don’t forget to experience the ultimate privacy of Shrek’s trusty outhouse (located 20 meters from the main house), a feature that fans will undoubtedly appreciate.
To book this enchanting retreat, head to Airbnb’s website starting October 13 at 6 p.m. BST. Keep in mind that guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from Scotland.
In a heartwarming gesture, Airbnb will make a one-time donation to the HopScotch Children’s Charity, supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Scotland with respite breaks. So, don’t miss your chance to visit Shrek’s Swamp, a place where childhood memories and fairytale dreams come alive. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live like an ogre and give back to those in need.
