Guest Beds for Holiday Hosting

Some of your visitors may be just popping in for the day, but you'll want to think about the bed situation if anyone's staying overnight. An air bed can be a quick, convenient and cost-effective way to make sure guests get a good night's rest when you're hosting during the holidays.

Recommended Air Beds That Will Ensure Your Guests are Comfy

For an air mattress that feels like a regular bed, you can't go wrong with the Spinifex Dreamline Double High II Air Mattress Queen. This self inflating mattress is designed for enhanced stability and firmness, and the extra height makes it extra comfy.

Why You'll Love the Spinifex Dreamline Double High II Air Mattress

• Double high profile for comfort
• Built-in pillow so your guests do not need to bring their own!
• Integrated 240V electric pump: inflates mattress in just three minutes for quick setup.
• Carry bag included for easy storage when not in use

Or, if you want to make it easier for your guests to sit up and read in bed, the Intex Queen Ultra Plush Headboard Airbed with its built-in headboard and dual-layer comfort top may be the best choice.

Whichever air mattress you choose for your holiday hosting, a Spinifex Moondance II Queen Sleeping Bag Slate Blue is a great bedding option, thanks to its fleece-lined head area and included pillows and fitted sheet. And if you choose an air bed without an integrated pump, a Spinifex Power Touch Recharge 240 & 12V Air Pump will make inflation and deflation a breeze.

Spare Fridge Space for Summer Entertaining

With all those guests dropping in to enjoy your Christmas hosting, you're going to be feeding a lot of hungry folks, and that could mean you run out of fridge space pretty quickly. Fortunately, Anaconda has a huge selection of iceboxes and portable fridges to keep everything cool and everyone happy.

Outdoor Shelters & Seating for Christmas Hosting

With summer being summer, you'll probably find your guests spend much of their time outside when you're hosting during the holidays. And with a gazebo or shade structure and few pieces of outdoor furniture, you can make sure everyone is comfortable as they relax in the great outdoors.

Find Easy to Set Up Portable Gazebos and Shades That Will Extend Your Outdoor Space

Sun and rain protection is a good place to start. The Spinifex Standard II 3 x 3 m Gazebo is waterproof and provides UPF50+ sun protection, and with up to 2.65m head height it's got plenty of room underneath.

And for seating, the OZtrail Getaway Chair is a great budget-friendly option, with a sturdy construction that holds 130kg, a mesh drink holder and an insulated compartment to keep drinks cool. Or opt for an outdoor chair with a built-in table and drink holder, like the Dune 4WD Directors Chair with Side Table. And for youngsters, the Dune 4WD Kid's Directors Chair with Side Table and Spinifex Joey High Chair are specifically designed to suit little ones.
