We're going to Bonnie Doon': summer house from cult Aussie film The Castle listed on Airbnb

Fans of Australian cult classic The Castle will be pinching themselves to learn that the Kerrigan family’s Bonnie Doon holiday home can now be rented through Airbnb.

The three-bedroom property, on the banks of Lake Eildon in the state of Victoria, might look modest, but, as anyone who has seen the 1997 film will tell you, it’s a place packed with serenity.

The Castle tells the story of the blue-collar Kerrigans fighting to save their home, in the Melbourne suburb of Coolaroo, from demolition. Bonnie Doon is where the family go to relax, with visits typically preceded by Darryl Kerrigan leading a chorus of “We’re going to Bonnie Doon!”. Once there, serenity - and fishing - are the order of the day.
