Fed up with the daily grind and seeking some you-time at an Airbnb near Brisbane/Meanjin (preferably with some bubbles and the best outdoor bath for full chilled vibes)?

While you could opt for a trip to one of the area's many day spas, there's just something extra spesh about having your own Queensland pad where the outdoor bath is the main attraction and you can just mooch around in your dressing gown all day.

Here at Urban List, we heard your pleas and dived straight in to searching out some ultra-tranquil stays. These are the best Airbnbs near Brisbane with gorgeous outdoor baths.

The property itself is seriously pretty, so you won’t be surprised to hear it’s sought after for location shoots. It’s pet-friendly too, so you won’t even need to leave Fluffy at home for this getaway. Have a soak in the “under the stars” luxury bathroom, or cosy up on one of the cowhide chairs and bathe in the warmth of the indoor fireplace.
