    Travellers near and far do not lack options.

    With apps and websites like Uber, Tripadvisor, and Airbnb, one can go to the furthest-reaching corners of the planet and stay in some of the zaniest accommodations ever, all with the touch of a button.

    To really add some oomph to a person’s travelling adventures, Airbnb has added a new OMG filter, opening up unique stays ranging from a Gaudi-inspired dwelling in Spain to a fantastic container-converted ‘CouplesPod’ in the Cape Winelands.

    Via Luxury Launches, let’s take a look at some of the “idiosyncratic” and “incredible” accommodation options out there, starting right on our doorstep:

    CouplesPod at Riverstone, Western Cape, South Africa

    The well-designed getaway is on the shore of the river at Palmiet Vlei Farm in Wolseley, Cape Winelands, and boasts “swoon-worthy” finishes and hotel grade linen as it sits amidst the gorgeous outdoors:

    Situated in a nook on our gorgeous farm dam, with the iconic views of the Mostertshoek mountain. A double container conversion, featuring a deep undercover patio with built in braai, and an economical wood burning stove inside, the unit is ideal for summer or winter getaways.

    Well equipped for fully self-catering luxury stays, expect high end finishes, furnishings and appliances. Riverstone’s CouplesPod has been designed with a high-end, romantic guest experience in mind.

    One Airbnb review reads, “Amazing farm getaway, perfect spot to relax and unplug. Great fireplace, good birdlife, and it is very private. Take a good book and enjoy a thoughtfully designed and curated space.”

    You can find out more and book through the Riverstone House website.

    Glass cottage, Hella, Iceland

    The finest way to stay in Iceland is to do so in a cottage made of glass so that you can see the snowflakes and aurora lights dazzle.

    This $515-a-night (around R8 000) property is a stone’s throw away from the town of Hella, located on a lava desert in the south of Iceland:

    The views are fascinating, but the all-glass bedroom is sheer magic. It’s not every day one gets to sleep under the stars in comfort and warmth. Even the bathroom offers views of the largest Icelandic volcanoes, Hekla, eyjafjallajökull, bláfjöll, and tindfjöl.

    The glass cottage features a fully equipped kitchen complete with luxury dishes and appliances like an oven, fridge, induction hob, and espresso machine. The cabin packs in a private hot tub and a terrace to make the trip truly worthwhile.

    OMG, sign me up.

    Emotional healing Guitar cottage, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea

    When you see the words ‘Emotional Healing’ you don’t necessarily imagine a guitar-shaped getaway, but alas, that is what this one-bedroom Airbnb apartment offers.

    I guess nothing heals the soul quite like the sound of music.

    This monolithic, three-floored house of the Serra Guitar Cultural Museum comes with a terrace and front lawn.

    A review read, “You can use the entire rooftop on the third floor, so it’s relaxing because you can grill meat and take a walk in a secluded pottery art village.’ Another stated, ‘I think it would be good in summer, but winter is even more attractive. I recommend it.”

    Emotional Healing sleeps two people.

    Villa Casa Acantilado, Andalucía, Spain

    The two-story Villa Casa Acantilado, located in Salobreña, is a Gaudi-inspired dwelling that has a garden, an open terrace, a barbecue, and an outdoor shower with captivating sea views.

    The villa can sleep six guests.

    A family can enjoy a lavish vacation comfortably in 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and cook up a storm in a fully-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher.

    Among several fun amenities, the one that stands out in this OMG villa is the private outdoor area with a pool that can be heated.

    Villa Casa Acantilado will cost you $393 per night, which is around R6 000.

    Now it’s just a matter of choosing, which is almost as fun and stressful as the actual travelling.
