A landmark lair? Is that a contradiction in terms? This astonishing property above Fairhaven Beach in Australia is the ultimate vacation rental and also a very lair-worthy property.
Described on The Polehouse's VRBO listing as 'the most photographed house on the Great Ocean Road, and probably Australia', this is the type of property to make you feel like you're master of the universe (for a night or two at least). An inspirational spot from which to plot one's next villainous move or perhaps the perfect base for a superhero to use as their HQ. A villain's lair or superhero hideout might instinctively be a cave or some other hideaway but sometimes it's better to think outside the box.
Perched high above a beautiful beach with breathtaking ocean views, The Polehouse is an architectural icon. Accessed via a long raised walkway, the property consists of just one bedroom, one living area and one bathroom. But that's enough (as long as you're not trying to assemble the Avengers there).
A Floating Lair
'You are both airborne and seaborne, having left land, and the very Earth, behind'. That quote from the property's VRBO listing perhaps summarizes why this [almost] floating lair is so appealing to us at Lairium. By walking along the bridge to The Polehouse and standing in its magnificent living space, there is a feeling of departure from terra firma as if one is soaring above the earth below. Perhaps a feeling that that only a superhero could otherwise achieve.
Bringing you back down to Earth but at the same time making this dream all the more realistic, The Polehouse can be booked (for a maximum of 2 guests) on VRBO with an average nightly price of $877 (prices correct as of October 2022).
