Cottage holiday rentals in Australia

Extremely comfortable well appointed accommodation with a quaint cottage feel. Peaceful setting in beautiful natural surrounds. Gorgeous yard which became a wildlife sanctuary at night. Great location from which to explore the Atherton Tablelands. Communicative and helpful host. We're so glad we stayed at Hemingway's on the Hill. Thank you Fifi.

From a warm welcome by the hosts, to a beautiful wine (supplied + made by the hosts), enjoying this by the fireplace that was elegantly prepared prior to our arrival, to the horizon of vineyards, private cellars, wine tour + taste testing by Scotty the host with the most, the gorgeous two border collies that live on the property saying hi, the plunge pool, the golf tee at the top of the hill and the simple cleanliness of the BNB itself. There was nothing this BNB did not have. Thank you so much for the stay. I have fallen in love with Tanunda. I will definitely be back!

loved "The Studio" Absolutely everything we needed. warm and cosy and spa upstairs in the bedroom was icing on the cake. we would love to recommend it with lots of stars.

Amazing stay - The place has everything you could ask for. Will be recommending to people i know personally!

A very cosy cabin in quiet surroundings! Full kitchen with lots of supplies! The Breakfast supplies are amazing as was the port and chocolates! Plenty of wood for the log fire. Electric blankets on the beds to keep you warm in the winter chill! Very close to town. A lovely stay.

Absolutely fantastic hosts! Very friendly and accommodating! Made our stay definitely a weekend to remember! Their hospitality was appreciated and we would definitely go back. The facilities were amazing and we loved every part of it.

Just had an amazing stay at Moontide, beautifully decorated house in a fantastic location. After going for walks around the area the spa was the perfect place to relax. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend staying at this perfect getaway.

Such a serene place, perfect place to stay especially if wanting a romantic get away with your partner. Beautiful wildlife especially having lyrebird spotting, sounds of the rainforest with the waterfall, a nice spa to get into when wanting to relax. There’s no wifi or struggle to gain data/reception the best bet is to bring either a hotspot box if wanting one or extra things like books, or other things to relax. They have a wonderful selection for breakfast but if lactose intolerant they don’t offer that but they do give gluten free little biscuits which is so kind as well! I am so grateful for this to be my first night away with my partner and will definitely be coming back.

We had a wonderful two nights at the cottage, Natalie’s instructions are very clear and concise in checking in. At first you feel like you’re in a cottage and surroundings that could be at least over 100yo but beautifully presented, until you read the story in the cottage info book and realise it’s only around 20yo and that a lot of the material is from famous buildings and locations across not only Australia but the world. Great kitchen, very well appointed, heated floors in the bathrooms, great coffee machine, fire place and bbq. Would stay there again in a heart beat. Thanks Natalie

Christiane was such a lovely person to talk to, her friendly demeanor made me feel like i was staying with close relatives. A generous lady with clearly a big heart

Lovely spot if you’re looking for something cosy and private in Margaret River. Instructions and directions were simple and clear. Would stay again.

Maggie's cottage was an unforgettable stay. tucked neatly away into the sunshine coast hinterland it made for a romantic weekend getaway! Julie our host was fantastic providing easy and clear instructions to locate and enter the house. Julie had clearly spent a lot of effort in setting up the cottage with every amenity available plus a couple of extra home made treats. I'd certainly recommend Maggie's cottage and if I can make it back would love to stay again!

Such a beautiful location, it was so peaceful. The place was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Gina was also very responsive, if we needed any questions answered Definetly recommend the place, AMAZING views

Amazing to get away from Sydney, loved the scenery, very peaceful and quiet. Paul is an amazing host and was very helpful and friendly.

had a lovely two night stay and got to introduce our young child to the magic of fires and marshmallows, in a safe and secure property. house beautiful, comfortable and well kitted out. would stay again

This was a wonderful stay with my mother for some R&R. We got the fire going when we arrived, cooked meals throughout our 3 days stay which was wonderful as kitchen was fully equipped. The bath is quite deep so it’s truly relaxing. Beds were comfortable and so many games/toys for adults and kids available. Even has an outdoor swing on the tree! We were greeted when we checked out by some gorgeous little chickens, was extremely private and peaceful. Will keep this one in mind for future travels, thank you to the hosts for a lovely stay!

This is a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway. Very peaceful amongst beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend!

Candice’s place was perfect. It was well located, beautiful garden, light filled, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. We stayed during a particularly cold week but were warm and cosy. We felt very welcome, with the heating on, the fire set, and generous breakfast provisions left for us. Thanks Candice

Wildhill Retreat was an incredibly warm and inviting home with stunning views. The hosts have been thoughtful with a very practical and cosy house with everything we needed for a weekend away. Georgie was easy to communicate with and her instructions were easy to follow.

Woollybuts was the perfect destination for a romantic getaway for all seasons, they have a fireplace and heater for winter and a pool and outdoor setting for summer. It’s a beautiful drive up to federal from Byron bay only 25 to 30 minutes. Nicola was an amazing host, super friendly and helpful in any way. I would absolutely go back to Nicola’s cottage. Thank you so much guys!!!

We stayed at Caitlin & Michael’s cabin for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The space was comfortable and well laid out, with a cosy bedroom, large luxurious bathroom, and a kitchen and living area that felt like home. The wood fire was a real highlight and we appreciated the generous supply of firewood, kindling, and matches. Their local food recommendations were incredible—we followed every one and had no regrets. We also enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and using the BBQ. The peaceful location was stunning, with no nearby noise and beautiful local wildlife all around. Whether it was sunny or rainy, the cabin was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We’re already planning to return. Thank you, Caitlin & Michael, for an unforgettable stay!

Fantastic stay! Beautiful house in a beautiful spot. Had absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay, including the best outfitted kitchen and bathroom of any airbnb we’ve stayed in. Views front and back - great indoor and outdoor spaces! Only wish we’d stayed here longer than our next accommodation. Highly recommended!

Beautiful little spot if you want to get away for the weekend. Friendly host! Beautifully located between Maleny and kenilworth. Horses were a lovely touch! Would recommend

Lovely cottage, set in spectacular gardens - with lake, dingy & ducks ! We just missed the full bloom of autumn leaves by a week, but still beautiful. As expected for June, it was a tad cold while we were there, but we certainly didn't lack for heating options, our favourite being the pot belly wood heater. Patty was a charming host who even took the time to bake us some orange syrup cakes - delicious ! All less than 20mins drive from all the shops & restaurants at Bowral for those who crave a bit more action. We'd love to come back.
