Airbnb has launched Icons: A new collection of stays associated with some of the biggest icons of our time, across music, film, television, art, sports, and more.

The Up house is just one of 11 Icons that have been unveiled across the globe, with more to come.

It's a detailed recreation of the cute and colourful cottage from the Disney Pixar film, complete with more than 8,000 balloons, and located in the scenic red rocks of Abiquiu, New Mexico.

Other incredible stays included in Icons are a night spent in the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, Italy, in a bed surrounded by race cars, sleeping in a bed made with the same leather used in Ferrari interiors.

There's also a stay inside Prince's old home, where he wrote the song Purple Rain. Before now, the home has never been open to the public.

Paris' iconic Musee D'Orsay is also a part of the series - travellers can book to stay inside the museum's clock tower, and have a front-row seat for the Olympics Opening Ceremony as it travels down the Seine.

New experiences will be dropping around the world throughout the year, with Airbnb confirming that there will indeed be some Aussie icons added to the list.

This isn't the first time Airbnb has dabbled in pop culture, having listed homes like Ken's Dreamhouse and Shrek's Swamp available to book on the platform.

In 2022, the brand created a replica of the Queenslander home in the beloved cartoon Bluey, which they built from the ground up.
