If that’s got you excited for your next getaway, read on for the best Airbnbs in Adelaide.
The Terrace Apartment
Nestled among very few of the last remaining historic terrace houses in the heart of the city, this exquisitely renovated two-bedroom, one bathroom apartment is the epitome of old meets new right in the heart of Adelaide's charming East End. Built in 1872, you'll be spoilt by the bright airy bedrooms adorned with luxe linen and bedding, divine green filled corners to enjoy. Just a short stroll away from some of the city's coolest stores, restaurants and bars, this stunning space is one to add to your saved list for sure.
Minusha
Serving up rustic character in spades, this peaceful escape in the city has almost flawless reviews thanks to elegant design, antique furnishings and personal touches that make you feel pampered from the moment you check in. With luxurious linens, a spacious outdoor area including your very own firepit plus a decadent soaking tub, you know where we'll be on our next South Australian escape.
The Little Sardine
This sweet little pad has superhost ratings thanks to its prime location, charming interiors and cosy courtyard area to soak up that South Australian sunshine. The Little Sardine is small is size but big in stature, boasting all the amenities you could need for the perfect Adelaide stay, set right in the heart of the city making it easy to check out many of the coolest bars, restaurants and cafes in your neighbourhood on foot.
Chesterdale
Chesterdale is conveniently located close to the famous McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills wineries and we mean, say no more. Freshly renovated and with a fully equipped kitchen (so you can get creative with all the local produce you purchase), this Adelaide Airbnb has everything from a firepit to a Japanese-inspired bathtub.
Coach Light Tiny House
We hate to mention spoilers but Coach Light Tiny House features an outdoor copper bath so you can soak yourself in bubbles and stargaze at the same time. If you love attention to detail, you’ll also want to know that this stunning lil’ set up was designed by Alexander Brown Architects who are big on timeless architecture and sustainability.
Strout Farm Cottage
History nuts should book a weekend away at Strout Farm Cottage—most of the furniture, photos and ornaments in this Adelaide Airbnb are actually from the Strout family who have lived on this property for seven generations. You’ll have access to pretty much all of the areas surrounding the cottage which includes the lawns, the sheep paddock and the stunning Moreton Bay fig tree.
Bayside
Now we hear you, sometimes the good ol’ cottage in the countryside isn’t everyone’s cup of tea so, behold Bayside Villa. This modern villa has been inspired by the types of places privy to Byron Bay and bears all the amenities you might expect to find in a five-star hotel (win). Perfect for couples, Bayside stocks board games, Nespresso pod coffee machine and hey, even a private cedar jacuzzi.
Sage
If you’re out here looking for a South Australia getaway for you and your best mates or family, this mega house in McLaren Vale has your name on it. Fitted with two bedrooms, two beds and two bathrooms (it’s made for at least four guests), you’ll have everything you need here for a wholesome holiday. Some of our personal favourites include the farm-style kitchen, the outdoor firepit area (with festoon lights) and the undercover BBQ dining area—an absolute entertaining delight.
Little Slice Of Henley
If coastal living is on your radar, you need to book a stay at the Little Slice Of Henley. Sitting a casual 50-metres from Henley Beach, this Adelaide Airbnb is right in the thick of it so you don’t have to worry about bus routes or Ubers—a dream, some might say. Perch up at Joe’s Kiosk for a slab of fish and chips, get your morning caffeine hit from The Annex Cafe and dig into charcuterie and cheese platters at Bacchus Wine Bar.
Agatha
Did somebody say, art deco caravan? While yes, caravans are often not tied closely to the finer things in life, Agatha is a bit of a boujee getaway just outside of Macclesfield, in Adelaide Hills. She’s an OG clipper van from way back but she’s been entirely refurbished and fitted with all the tiny luxurious physically possible. Whether it’s the plush indoor booth seating, the sunken bathtub or the epic outdoor deck, Agatha is kind of big deal (despite being on an actual working farm).
