If you love your Airbnbs with vintage vibes, this gorgeously-styled home a five-minute drive from the centre of Albany is well worth a squiz.

It’s a white weatherboard cottage that’s filled with beautifully rustic decor, combining the thoughtful touches of a farm cottage and a luxe beach house. 

You’re an easy walk to the nearby coastline, cafes and boutique shops here, so there’s heaps to explore. And after a day exploring Albany, come back to curl up with a book in the light-filled lounge room or sit down on the front deck to crack open a bottle of local vino.

Love a central stay, but a sucker for a pad with plants and open spaces? The aptly named City Sanctuary will feel like a home away from home, with its modern facilities and vintage touches. 

First up, we need to give a shout out to the heavenly freestanding bath tub at this Albany Airbnb. It’s surrounded by greenery, so long, serene soaks are on the cards before you head out the door to explore.

This Airbnb is close to the town centre, ideal for cafe-hopping and shopping, and you won’t find it hard to unwind each day in the courtyard gardens or open-plan living room. Bliss.

Call a charming red cottage, just a stone’s throw from the centre of town, home for a while and surround yourself with beautiful vintage wares, a roaring fire and a freestanding bath for lazy soaks. (There’s an outdoor shower here too if you need to wash off sandy toes post beach trip).

Nestled in a historic street by Albany’s harbour, this Airbnb is a mere five-minute walk to the cafes and bars of York Street, including must-visit restaurants Liberté and Majuba Bistro, and is around the corner from the weekly Albany Farmer’s Market. 

Once you’ve stocked up on provisions, we suggest you cook up a feast with fresh veggies and dine under the stars in the lush rear garden. Oh, and did we mention the hens in the backyard?

Fancy yourself a pint-sized pad with its very own fenced garden, and yet want to be within an easy toddle of town? This Albany tiny home stay ticks both those boxes and then some.

Your WA accommodation is a converted shed that sits under a huge golden elm tree, and it's full on charismatic inside, with massive steel and glass windows that let the outside shine right in.

Snuggle up in the queen bed while you plan your day, or enjoy a hot shower under the stars. You are close to all the fun stuff in town with its coffee shops, cosy pubs and parks to wander in, plus there are hikes up the mountain you can do if you're feeling adventurous. Your Airbnb comes with some friendly locals too—we're talking Po the possum and Kevin the black skink who might wander on by during your stay.

This mighty little shipping container, a 20-minute drive from Albany, is proof that good things do indeed come in small packages. Your self-contained WA tiny home is nestled on a 30-acre working farm and was lovingly created from up-cycled materials, including Red Gum timber milled on the property. It's a place to come for a spot of slow living: expect to see sheep, alpacas and horses grazing in the nearby paddocks and easy access to walking trails and beaches too. 

Throw a banger on the barbecue and take to the outdoor deck where you can keep an eye on the sizzling while enjoying a lovely river view. Bayonet Head Woolies is just ten minutes away if you need some mash to go with it, and your superstar hosts provide eggs from their free-range hens for you to use too.

After you've eaten your fill, we reckon a mooch down to the fire pit is probably in order. It's the best spot to chill as you watch the sun set.

Sitting in a spot around an hour from Albany and five minutes away from the Denmark township, you’ll find Stillwood Retreat. And retreat there we shall. 

This secluded architecturally designed Airbnb is tucked into the naturescape of the south west, among towering karri trees and next to your own private dam. The most serene outdoor bath is waiting for you outside. But if it starts raining, head inside and get the fire started—the lounge room is seriously zen and there's even a jar of marshmallows there for toasting. 

While you're in the area, be sure to visit The Dam, Denmark’s newest restaurant and distillery, where you can sip on locally distilled spirits and enjoy a meal with stunning views over the water. 

The team behind Albany restaurant Majuba Bistro also has two dreamy lodges out in Kalgan, and if you’ve dined there, you know the decor is pretty special and sophisticated. 

Savuti One and Serengeti Two sit on 17 luxurious acres and offer views over Oyster Harbour, where you can watch kangaroos grazing and the sunsets painting the sky in this true country setting.

One of two suites thoughtfully designed as a spiritual sister to the bistro in historic York Street. We love that a welcome platter can be provided subject to availability—just ask.

Big enough to host the whole fam, 3 Parade Street is a good bet for your Albany getaway, not least because it’s a teeny 20 metres from the iconic Brig Amity ship and Old Gaol museum, and a 400-metre toddle to the main street with all its fun stuff.
