AFLW star Moana Hope's Easter long weekend nightmare after she discovers massive problem with Airbnb booking

Moana Hope was left red-faced this week after committing an embarrassing Easter long weekend faux pas.

The AFLW star, 38, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to share a horrific tale that would have any holidaymaker shuddering.

She revealed that she had planned an idyllic weekend away with her children, Svea, five, and Ahi, three, and her extended family to Phillip Island. 

'I'm so annoyed at myself. I'm taking my kids down to Phillip Island for the long weekend,' she said in the clip, which she captioned: 'Someone get me a margarita'.

'My whole family's going, we're all going. It's cute – it's going to be such a great time.'

Moana added that she had booked an Airbnb right on the water, for everyone, as she is a big fan of coastal getaways. 

'I booked a house on the beach – I love the beach... I love being able to walk out of the backyard going onto the beach,' she enthused.

However, Moana's dream long weekend getaway quickly turned into a nightmare when she went to double-check her booking. 

'I jumped on the app and I was like I'll just get all the information together because I'm going to wake up early tomorrow and leave with the kids,' she said.

'As I DM'd the Airbnb, I've just f***ing realised I've booked it for the wrong weekend,' Moana added with a laugh.

She went on to explain that with her previous booking now gone, she was left with the huge task of finding alternative last-minute accommodation in the Victorian tourist hotspot. 

'Now, it's like every man and his dog's booked Phillip Island,' she said.

'I have to book a house that is more inland. I haven't told any of my family about any of this yet, but they are going to destroy me.'

Thankfully, in a subsequent clip, Moana revealed that the crisis was short-lived, as she had secured a new holiday home without having to head inland as she feared.

'False alarm, I got my beach Air so we're going. I'm excited,' she said.

It comes after Moana, last month, threatened to publicly expose a recently retired women's footballer who allegedly sent her a homophobic message. 

Moana, who is openly gay, said the former player took one of her Instagram images and captioned it with a homophobic slur and laughing emojis.

However, instead of sending it to the intended recipient, the former AFLW player sent it back to her.

Moana said she had reported the player and given her a deadline to reveal herself to her former club, or she would make the player's identity known. 

'I'm going to unblock her,' she said on Instagram.

'I'm going to send her this story, but I'm not going to say anything else.

'And I'm going to give her the opportunity to go into the club that she's affiliated with, and she can tell them herself.'

The former AFLW forward said the woman has been given a deadline to take responsibility.

'She has 'til Friday to do that, and if she doesn't, then we'll revisit the whole not publicly outing her, because she needs to take responsibility,' she said.

While the player has still not been identified by Moana, she confirmed that she plans to escalate the issue. 

'On a serious note, I am reporting her. There is no place for homophobia in this world.'

Hope finished the post with a message supporting LGBTQI+ people.

'Gay love is love and there is nothing wrong with being gay and being exactly who you are.'
