12 of Australia’s Best Coastal Airbnbs to Book for Your Next Getaway

1. Beach House, Gerroa, NSW

With three main, ensuite bedrooms and enough beds for ten people, Beach House in Gerroa, NSW is a magnificent holiday home for the whole family. The real drawcard, besides a huge timber deck and thoughtful, minimalist design touches throughout the space, is the view: from every window, you can spot that beautiful, glittering water. Nothing is more tranquil than waking up here.

3. The Lake Haus, Smiths Lake, NSW

The 'Lake Haus' is the third Airbnb project that stylist Tim Neve has tackled. The property is located in Smiths Lake, on the Mid-Coast of New South Wales, an area that boasts a bush meets the sea landscape that's ideal for holiday goers. This home is everything you'd want from a vacation getaway; it's expansive, well-appointed, and exudes a laidback-luxe aesthetic. It's the type of accommodation you'd find hard leaving.

5. Vue de Vague, Lorne, VIC

With Lorne on the Victorian coast becoming a popular resort destination, it’s about time you saved an Airbnb like this one to your wishlist. Vue de Vague is a great luxury holiday home for the whole family, with the capacity to sleep ten, and space for everyone with a huge living room, a well-appointed kitchen and a deck for outdoor dining.

7. Bill’s Boathouse, White Sands, SA

How about something a little different? This tiny home is floating in the Murray, just outside of Adelaide, and is a self-contained little getaway for two. Check-in here and you’ll wake up surrounded by water and while you’ll have plenty of interactions with local wildlife, it’s unlikely you’ll cross paths with another soul during your stay. Perfect for those people wanting to check out for a little bit.

9. Eyre Way, Eyre Peninsula, SA

The Eyre Peninsula in South Australia is one of our country’s most beautiful coastal destinations, full of stunning vistas and breathtaking sunsets (and sunrises!) You can take them all in from this white cottage, a beautiful little tiny home situated in one of the most pristine spots on the peninsula. It doesn’t get more isolated, or more incredible than this.

11. The Pod, Lewisham, TAS

Another left-of-centre Tasmanian spot, like Thalia Haven in Little Swanport, The Pod is a jewel box of an Airbnb overlooking Frederick Henry Bay. Design fans will be thrilled to stay in this thoughtful and expertly created home, which was even featured on Grand Designs Australia.
