Whether you’re new to Perth or looking to spruce up your next city staycation, you’ll want to hang around for best Airbnbs. From urban warehouses to panoramic coastal penthouses, we have your next adventure covered.

Where To Stay In Perth?

Perth stretches pretty far north and south, so we'll forgive you for being a little unsure about where to stay if it's your first time. To help you out, we've rounded up plenty of options to suit every type of stay. 

Here's our pick of the best Airbnbs in Perth right now.

Perth CBD and Northbridge

For easy access to the best dining, nightlife and cultural experiences, a central stay in the CBD or Northbridge is what you're after.

Perth | Sleeps 2

Heart Of The City Hideaway

Heritage charm meets contemporary cool in this light and bright character Airbnb. Pour yourself a cuppa, pop a vinyl on the record player and soak up views over the Swan River and Langley Park from the light-filled sunroom, then head out to explore the best of Perth's CBD—it's all within walking distance.

Your 1940s home is top spot for solo travellers and couples looking for a peaceful city stay. There is secure on-site parking (but just be warned the bay is tight), plus a mini free library (feel free to take a book and leave one you've already enjoyed). Plus, if work calls, there's a dining table/workspace for checking those emails with a side of water views.

Perth | Sleeps 6

Salvation Building

Go back in time and appreciate Perth’s long-standing history with this charming heritage Airbnb in the heart of the city. The building this three-level contemporary townhouse sits in dates back to 1899 and is located in the East End, with the CBD, Swan River, entertainment precinct and public transport a short toddle away.

Your home was designed by renowned Western Australian architect, Brian Klopper, and modern elements contrast beautifully with restored features to create a striking warehouse vibe. Step through the double French doors in the living space and you'll find yourself in your own internal ivy-covered courtyard where a glass of something spesh is the perfect partner. Got a canine partner in crime? We love that this stay is dog-friendly too.

Fremantle

Think of Fremantle (or Freo) as Perth's second CBD, but with a much more eclectic and relaxed vibe. It's home to some of the best eating and drinking holes, plus cool boutiques, second-hand stores, art galleries and music venues. Plus, it's just a half hour ferry ride from Rottnest Island.

Fremantle | Sleeps 4

Ralph’s Place

Vibrant colours, an unbeatable location, and the option to add extra living space that accommodates another four (just ask your hosts for deets). Ralph's Place packs a New York-style punch, just a short walk from the charming cafe strip of Fremantle's West End.

Your Perth Airbnb is open-plan and huge, with soaring ceilings and contemporary art adding to the industrial urban vibe. The star of the show? The big outdoor courtyard which is framed with brick and offers plenty of space for chillaxing. 

South Fremantle | Sleeps 2

Silver Street Studio

For something unique and full of character, Silver Street Studio in South Fremantle is the romantic retreat of your dreams. This charming Perth Airbnb was once an artist's studio and a gallery before it became the eclectic and rustic space it is today.

Your award-winning holiday home was made from materials gathered from historic WA sites, including Rob’s Jetty, the Fremantle Wool stores, an old limestone church and the Swanbourne Hospital and sits close to the harbour, South Beach, the yacht club and South Fremantle’s culinary hub.

Trundle in and get stuck in to the bottle of fine WA red and the cheese platter your superstar hosts provide. There's complimentary chocoaltes, flowers and a brekky hamper of gourmet goodies too. If you can tear yourself away from your pad for a moment, you’ll find the cafe strip is just around the corner, or you could just settle in for a sesh in the tempting outdoor bath—the choice is yours.

Inner City

Suburbs like Mount Lawley, Subiaco and Leederville are great places to stay if you're keen to escape the traffic and chaos of the city without going too far. These hubs also happen to be full of incred cafes, restaurants and bars, plus unique retailers and parks too. Just make sure you have a car to get around if you're booking these areas.

Subiaco | Sleeps 6

Subi Haus

Big enough for the whole fam (including the dog as it’s pet-friendly too), this Perth Airbnb is a restored 1910 Federation home. It sits in Subiaco’s most desirable area, a mere toddle from shops, parks, eateries and more. Spread out, because there are five bedrooms to choose from here, including an awesome secret one above the garage with a view of the courtyard below.

Speaking of that courtyard, it’s a great spot for some group dining (there’s a full kitchen for the nominated chef), plus inside your brick-walled home you’ll find an enticing living and dining space that’s perfect for chilling with the gang.

Mount Lawley | Sleeps 2

Parklife

We can't tell you how much we love Hyde Park for jogging, picnicing and general meandering, so when this Airbnb listing popped up we couldn’t resist checking it out. Located in Mount Lawley, this retro 60s studio apartment is bursting with leafy green plants, cute knick-knacks, and personalised touches.

Hyde Park itself is just across the road and, even better, you're just a short stroll to Beaufort Street where some of our favourite Perth bars and eateries are located. Did we mention the private outdoor courtyard surrounded by greenery? 

Beachside

To make the most of Perth's incredible beaches, you'll obviously wanna book an Airbnb by the coast. Perth's got plenty of stunning beachside burbs, but we'd suggest looking at Scarborough, Cottesloe and South Fremantle if you still want easy access to amazing eats and drinks too.

Cottesloe | Sleeps 4

Neue Blue

This adults-only space in the heart of Cottesloe gives full-on hotel vibes, and if you’re looking for a luxe beachfront Airbnb for your next Perth getaway it’s well worth having a squiz. Your home away from home sits directly opposite North Cottesloe Surf Club and the highly regarded Longview restaurant which is pretty handy, and close to the golf club and entertainment precinct where all the fun stuff happens.

Inside your two-bedroom apartment you’ll find designer furniture and original art, plus views spanning the Indian ocean, Rottnest Island and the coast. Grab yourself a G&T and head out to your private, sun-drenched balcony for some chill time, or if you’re feeling energetic you might want to grab the beach essentials and head down to the sandy stuff a stone’s throw away. With so many high-end eateries on your doorstep, the only thing left to do is argue over where to dine.

North Coogee | Sleeps 2

Blu Peter Penthouse

Oh hello hot tub with a sea view. This popular one-bed Airbnb in North Coogee offers a little slice of luxury less than an hour south of Perth. It’s beautifully styled inside, with wooden floors, vibrant artwork and hints of lush greenery. But step outside onto the private deck and things amp up even more.

You’ve got an epic entertaining space with a barbecue, lounge area, hammock and large private spa. Picture yourself immersed in the bubbles, glass of wine in hand as you watch the yachts slide by. Hell yeah, we’re in!

Scarborough | Sleeps 7

Turquoise Waters Retreat

You’re a leisurely stroll from Scarborough Beach, with cafes, restaurants, shops and entertainment on your doorstep at this spacious beach retreat. Offering ample room for seven guests across three bedrooms, your Perth Airbnb is designed for unwind time with an epic outdoor entertaining zone that calls out for family barbecues.

Grab a bottle from the outdoor fridge and take a seat at the turquoise-tiled bar while the kids float around in your very own pool. There’s an ice-cream maker in the kitchen for that post-play snack. If a day in the city beckons instead, you can jump in the car and be there in 20 minutes. 

Scarborough | Sleeps 4

Waterfront Panorama

Hit up Perth’s best beaches from this idyllic coastal hideaway in Scarborough. The samdy stuff is quite literally at your doorstep at this Perth Airbnb, with the sunny Scarborough Beach only a short walk over the dunes.

This waterfront property screams coastal chic and effortless charm with its breezy rooms and beachy touches. For those balmy summer evenings, your private balcony and bar offer uninterrupted views of the sun setting over the Indian Ocean–perfect for a crisp glass of vino with friends or family.

Perth Hills and Swan Valley

While most of Perth heads down south for holidays, there's also some great stays within an hour of the CBD in the Perth Hills and the Swan Valley—both offer wineries, breweries and a relaxed country vibe without the 3+ hour drive.

Bickley | Sleeps 6

Honeysuckle Cottage

Fun fact: this glorious Perth Airbnb once appeared on an episode of The Bachelorette— and when you step inside you'll see why it was deemed perfect for TV. It's gorg, with a seriously enormous alfresco deck that gives you epic views of the Bickley valley.

Your three-bedroom accommodation sits on an acreage of lush, rambling garden and yet it's close to tourist spots and mountain bike trails. Bringing a furry one? You'll be pleased to know that this pad is pet-friendly and there's plenty of space for zoomies. Our highlight though has to be the colourful outdoor pizza oven. Crack open a bottle of WA's finest and get the margherita on. 

Mount Helena | Sleeps 10

Kangaroo Valley Homestead

Twin outdoor stone baths? Check. Pink billiards table? Check. Resort-style pool? Check. This Perth homestead is the best bush oasis for kids and parents alike. Full of rustic country character, this Airbnb offers the whole crew the chance to dine outside while watching the resident family of kangaroos hop by.

Prop up the on-site Galah Bar, handcrafted from a fallen Jarrah tree on the property, and watch the kids play pool or head to the theatre room, with its red velvet drapes, where you can cosy up on the Chesterfield lounge suites and watch a movie on the large screen TV. You can even book a private chef if you want to amp up the luxe factor, or a pamper sesh at the nearby Amaroo Day Spa & Retreat.

Baskerville | Sleeps 10

Treehouse In The Australian Bush

If you’re looking for a picturesque stay a 45-minute drive from Perth and might enjoy a spot of wine-tasting while you're at it, too, this Perth Hills Airbnb could be just the ticket. Your Airbnb is big—with enough room to sleep ten and an epic entertaining space with a private jacuzzi, kitchen, barbecue and rustic fire pit for stargazing with the crew.

Wander on out to the purpose built viewing platform (it's called the "jetty) and you'll get a sweeping vista across the valley to the Coastal Plains. If some cellar door-hopping floats your boat, you'll find local wineries within a 15-minute drive.
