How about something a little bit spesh for the family vacay, less than three hours' drive from Perth? Not far from Margaret River and its beaches you'll find Redgate Sidings, a light and airy Airbnb 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).

A mere 250m from the water of Geographe Bay, just 2.5 hours' drive from Perth, sits this two-storey WA beach house that has appeal by the bucketload.

This wildly dreamy little hideaway feels more like a storybook setting than a stay: think a tiny lake dotted with lily pads, sweeping valley views, five-metre timber ceilings, a clawfoot bath beneath a skylight, riverside daybeds, resident wildlife and an architecturally-designed guest house made for two.
Completely off-grid but far from roughing it, Wild Whispers is the kind of place you book when you need to properly disappear for a couple of days. Spend your morning watching mist roll across the valley, your afternoon soaking in the tub or wandering the six-acre property, then settle in for stargazing and marshmallows by the fire pit in winter.
