16 Of The Best WA Airbnbs For A Stunning 2026 Escape
Western Australia is the largest and sunniest state in the country. With 20,781km of coastline, picturesque old towns and incredible wildlife, it's no surprise WA is home to some of the best ‘gram-worthy Airbnbs out there.
Whether you are seeking an adventure, looking to relax or make one with Mother Nature, WA has got something for you.
Here are Urban List's picks of the best Airbnbs in Western Australia to book in 2026.
Margaret River | Sleeps 6
Redgate Sidings
How about something a little bit spesh? Just a short drive from Margaret River you'll find Redgate Sidings, a light and airy home built around a 1910 Western Train Carriage. The sleeping options here really are something: you get three queen rooms tucked within the old carriage along the western side of the house, and they all offer unique arched ceilings and windows galore.
There are two single beds on a mezzanine overlooking the living area too, which is a top spot for older kids to hang. Later, you're going to want to fire up the barbecue on the expansive patio. You can munch your dinner out here under an umbrella too, and there's a basketball hoop to keep the littles entertained (bring your own ball). We love how these hosts also provide a sample of locally-made choccie for you to enjoy too.
Coolup | Sleeps 4+
Timpano's Farm
Timpano's Farm has jumped to the top of our WA wishlist for a couple of solid reasons. Firstly, Coolup is just a short hour from Perth and 20 minutes from leafy, charming Dwellingup making it the ultimate option for those short on time who still want to escape the city without the winding roadtrip.
Secondly, it doesn't get much cosier when it comes to a winter stay. Both the OG Rocky's Cabin and new kid on the block, Zak's Cabin, offer up outdoor fire pits, immaculate modern living and bedrooms, stunner farm views and outrageously cool outdoor entertaining areas (just take a look at the pics) as well as a ton of bonus extras if you've got young ones in tow to keep them busy. Trust us, you'll be completely recharged after a stay here. We sure were.
Margaret River | Sleeps 8
Maison du Lac
Strap the kayaks on the roof rack and prepare for a lakeside adventure at this three-bedroom Airbnb in Margaret River, WA. Gather the group (this place sleeps eight) and admire the water view from the wooden deck that literally overhangs the lake.
You’ve got direct access to the Rails to Trails Walk/Cycle Trail here and you’re just eight minutes’ drive to Margaret River Golf Club, so leave space in the boot for those clubs. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, you’re just 400m from the centre of town—so you can slack off dinner duty and indulge in some world-class food and wine without the hassle of washing up.
Quinninup | Sleeps 4
The Bushmans
Morning lake swims, meandering forest trails and a fire pit to cosy up around come nightfall. If that sounds like a recipe for your best WA getaway, then this Airbnb is one to add to the list. The Bushmans is your very own two-bedroom cabin, that sits on the edge of a karri forest in Quinninup, a two-hour drive from Margaret River, WA.
Inside, your pad just calls out for a spot of Insta snapping, with vintage windows, wooden beams and the cutest red brick fireplace, complete with woodburner to snuggle around. Grab the bubbles and park yourself in the white clawfoot bath for a leisurely soak or, if stargazing’s your thing, you can head outside and slide into the sunken outdoor tub instead.
In the mood for a spot of wine-tasting? You’re surrounded by estates here so swinging by a cellar door for a drop won’t be a struggle.
South Fremantle | Sleeps 4
Paton House
Call a restored heritage-listed property just 250m from South Beach your home for a while at this South Fremantle stay. Enter through the sleek black front door of Paton House, head down the hallway and you’ll find a delightfully light-filled living and dining space at the back.
You're right in the heart of Freo here, with cafes, shops and eateries within a stone's throw. And yet your WA Airbnb gives you ample space to come home after a day's exploring and settle into the holiday vibe.
Snuggle up by the indoor feature fireplace or, if the weather’s balmy, pad out to your own garden courtyard and enjoy the dappled sunlight with a glass of Margaret River's finest. The bathroom here is seriously glitzy for an evening soak, with its Spanish limestone tiles, standalone bath and twin vanities. We love that the thoughtful owners can set you up with a cot and high chair if you need it, and there’s kids’ books, toys and games for the whole crew provided.
Perth Hills | Sleeps 10
Kangaroo Valley Homestead
Twin outdoor stone baths? Check. Pink billiards table? Check. Resort-style pool? Check. This WA 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.
Augusta | Sleeps 4
Shipwrights Mistress
Nestled amongst the peppermint gums on the banks of the Blackwood River, this beautifully restored vintage shack in Augusta, WA, is ideal for anyone looking to slow down and escape it all.
The charming retro-inspired interiors at this Airbnb have been purposefully curated to help you recharge and reconnect with the loved ones around you—something we're very much feeling the need for lately!

Osmington | Sleeps 4
Littlewood Chalet
This chalet in Osmington, WA, is oozing with rustic luxe charm. The interior is decorated with handcrafted furniture, cosy textiles and fresh flowers, but it’s what’s outside that makes this stay extra spesh. The private deck opens up to 30 acres of spacious woodlands, and it’s the perfect spot to pour yourself a glass of bubbles and take in the sound of silence.
Prefer bubbles of another sort? Bring your bubble bath and prep for a long, hot soak in the cast iron indoor tub—it's got views of the woodlands so you can drink it all in while those muscles relax. Fancy heading out and about? You're just a ten-minute drive from town and two minutes from The Colonial Brewery. Yass!
Denmark | Sleeps 5
Doris Betty Beach House
Say hey to Doris Betty. She's your uber cute 1960s cottage bringing a touch of coastal flair to a spot amongst the Karri trees in picturesque Denmark, WA. Your two-bedroom Airbnb has a lovely open plan living space and you can throw open the French doors to a mega deck to drink in views of Ocean Beach and Wilson Inlet. There's a barbecue out here too, and a big table so the whole crew can dine together.
Bring your hiking shoes, because you're close to the Bibbulmun Track here—one of the world's greatest long distancec walking trails—plus you've got Monkey Rock and Lights Beach within easy reach for even more adventure.
Bridgetown | Sleeps 4
Storytellers Rest
Call a 100-year-old cottage your home away from home in WA at Storytellers Rest. It's a beautifully styled Airbnb in the pretty village of Bridgetown and, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it's a top spot for a girls' weekend away.
Your accommodation is filled with 'Gram-worthy stuff, including books, antiques and vintage wall art. Roll on outside and you'll find an orchard (yep, you are welcome to pick seasonal fruit), and a fire pit for snuggling up around after a day spent exploring. The best bit? You're just a 300-metre toddle from town and the local Cidery (they do a tasting tray and you can order food there too. Woo!)
Kalgan | Sleeps 2
River's End Retreat
This mighty little shipping container 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.
Witchcliffe | Sleeps 4
Redgate Studio
Just five minutes on foot from the centre of Witchcliffe and a seven minute drive from Margaret River, Redgate Studio is the spot for a cosy WA retreat. With two bedrooms, each with an accompanying private ensuite, it's perfect for couples or a small group of friends looking to relax and unwind.

Lande Home
For the nature-lovers, this is the ultimate getaway in the wild—close enough for a spontaneous escape, far enough away to completely unwind.

Margaret River | Sleeps 2
River Blue
We've said it before and we'll say it again... We. Love. Outdoor. Baths. This WA Airbnb has one, in particular, that feels super special thanks to the insane views of rolling hills and the picturesque river.
But beyond providing a beaut bath moment, River Blue also scores bonus points for its contemporary interiors—think polished concrete floor and bespoke timber cabinetry—and sustainable straw bale construction. It's basically like stepping into a cool design magazine for a weekend.
Metricup | Sleeps 2
