At an eye-watering $16,000 a night, Kelowna has the most expensive Airbnb in the country

Obviously, this swanky, exorbitantly priced Airbnb has it all.

Over 20,000 square feet of living space in the main house and a separate 2-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot guesthouse.

A waterfront location atop a bluff surrounded by 44 acres.

Eight bedrooms with ensuites and views.

Two pools, two hot tubs, five beaches, a tennis court, billiards room, gym and yoga space, spa, theatre and wine cellar.

Patios galore with outdoor living rooms and kitchens.

And a concierge to stock the place with whatever you want, including chef, waitstaff, tennis coach and yoga guru.

Oh, yes, we almost forgot, it also has a helicopter landing pad for those guests who will be, naturally, arriving by air.

It's Chateau Okanagan on Okanagan Lake just north of Kelowna's Knox Mountain Park at 380 Lockview Rd.

And, at an average $15,931 per night, it's the most expensive Airbnb in Canada.

By the way, this estate-for-rent has a three-night minimum booking, so essentially it's only available if you have $47,793 to spend.

</who>Chateau Okanagan features 8 bedrooms, formal dining room, chef kitchen, oodles of indoor and outdoor living space, wine cellar, theatre, billiards room, pools, hot tubs, tennis court and five beaches.

Finance research site Tradingplatforms crunched the numbers to determine the 10 costliest Airbnbs in Canada ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Vancouver and Toronto will host 13 of the soccer matches and there's expected to be a severe shortage of Airbnbs in both cities.

But, back to Chateau Okanagan.

It indeed looks like a French manor house or wine estate and, in fact, there's a vineyard on the property, too.

If you've passed by on the lake you can't miss it because Chateau Okanagan sits pretty atop a bluff in plain view, easily the biggest and most impressive structure in the area.

</who>The living room is modelled after a French salon.

It's the largest private rental property in the Okanagan

With 8 bedrooms, the chateau has an overnight sleeping capacity of 16 people.

But, there's lots of space for 60 guests for special events, weddings, corporate meetings or retreats.

The chateau was the setting for the Netflix 8-episode reality series 'Million Dollar Secret' in which competitors hunted down and eliminated the millionaire in their midst to secure the cash for themself.

The show spotlighted the chateau and the Okanagan relaxation and recreational lifestyle to the max.

Large, lavish -- and pricey -- Airbnbs appeal to travelling big family and friends groups as well as wedding parties and corporate retreats.
