Thousands flock to Sydney each New Year for the world-famous fireworks - but the 'best' view will cost four times as much as the average home deposit.
The 350sqm luxury Sydney Suite at Park Hyatt in The Rocks boasts panoramic views spanning from the Harbour Bridge to the Opera House and beyond.
It comes with a private terrace, a gas fireplace, two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a spacious dining room and a private butler.
With arguably the best vantage point for the fireworks, guests will enjoy front-row views - but at a hefty price tag.
The luxury suite costs $68,000 per night but requires a minimum booking of seven nights over December 31, the Australian Financial Review reports.
That's an eye-watering $476,000 - more than four times the average 20 per cent deposit of $134,841 needed to buy a home in Australia.
In other more 'affordable' options, the Park Hyatt's Cove Suite offers a six-night minimum stay at $8,000 per night for a total spend of $48,000.
Crown Towers' presidential villa in Barangaroo costs $38,888 to book for a two-night minimum stay for the New Year.
Guests staying at the luxury Sydney Suite at Park Hyatt on The Rocks could watch the famous New Year's Eve fireworks for a fee of $68,000

Meanwhile, the Shangri-La offers rooms with unobstructed harbour views for a minimum of 10 nights at an average of $1,682 per night - totalling $16,820.
A deluxe full-harbour-view room at the Four Seasons requires a three-night minimum stay, costing $15,300.
Sydney's famous fireworks will begin on a sombre note, with revellers asked to pause for a moment of silence at 11pm.
The gesture will honour victims of the alleged Bondi Beach terror attack on December 14 and condemn antisemitism.
A menorah, the candelabrum used for Hanukkah, will be projected onto a pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during the event.
Watching the fireworks from an outdoor vantage point will also come at a cost this year.
