Winter. It's a time to cosy up with your faves in WA, get that log fire roaring and sip on something special—all you need is the best cabin or cottage to amp up the snuggle factor ten-fold.

Settle in and get ready for Urban List’s picks of the best cabins and cottages in WA for your 2026 getaway.

Prepare yourself for a white A-Frame cabin with real wow factor with a stay at this place set close to all the delights of Esperance, WA. Your two-storey Airbnb is just five minutes’ drive from the town centre and set in the private grounds of Esperance Chalet Village.

It’s an adults-only stay that’s gorgeously-styled inside, with a King bed upstairs and access to a communal kitchen where you’ll find a coffee machine with freshly ground coffee and everything you need to whip up your own feast.

There’s a communal fire pit to snuggle around later too, plus there’s complimentary kayaks you can put to use. Alternatively, you can mosey on into town on the village bikes, and sample some local sips and eats.

Call a 104-year-old cottage your home away from home for a while at this gorgeous WA stay in the picture-perfect village of Bridgetown.

Inside, expect antique touches, jewel-toned walls and loads of character, and there’s a lot outside to love too, thanks to the fire pit and backyard orchard where you’re welcome to pick fruit in season.

You won’t even need to cram the crew in the car at this Airbnb, because you’re just a 300-metre meander into town, and an easy 800 metres from the local Cidery (sneaky sip with lunch sound tempting?)

Quinninup | Sleeps 4

Millars By The Lake

Just a short drive from Manjimup (hello, truffles) you’ll find this secluded and heritage-listed adults-only cottage. It’s a serene spot, where the community values a calm and quiet escape (and bring your bathers because we reckon a chillax in the outdoor bath in the backyard is the perfect way to start your day.)

Karri Lake is within a gentle toddle too, and it’s open for recreation so feel free to bring your own canoe or floaties for a dip off the pontoon. Once that’s done, perhaps a trip to the Quinninup Tavern is in order—or just head back to your WA Airbnb and stoke up the fire pit (if the season allows) and get ready for a cheeky drink while you plan the next day.

Denmark | Sleeps 4

Treetops A-Frame

Tucked between the towering Karri trees and overlooking Wilson’s Inlet , this Airbnb looks like it belongs in a children’s book. Inside, the stay has a Scandi vintage vibe, with timber-panelled walls and a cosy wood-burning fireplace. The living space opens out into a light and bright covered balcony too, where you can take in those water views.

Want to stay in and get all cosy later? Your hosts supply board games, books and a record player to make your stay extra spesh.

A spot of Margaret River wine tasting feel like something you could get on board with on your WA vacay? Littlewood Chalet gives you rustic cabin vibes just a ten-minute drive from the town itself.

This Airbnb has two bedrooms, so you can bring your mates to join in the fun, and it’s set in 30 acres of private woodland so there’s plenty of space to explore. 

Crack open a bottle of Margaret River vino and take to the covered outdoor deck to sip away while you enjoy the bushland view. There’s a cast iron bathtub inside where you can soak away for a while, plus you’re a literal two minutes from CBCo Brewing so a trip there for craft beer and live music is a must.

Nestled in a lush little valley on the banks of the Blackwood River, Cleves Hut is a damn romantic WA spot to slow down and connect with nature. The 100 per cent off grid cabin is truly secluded and surrounded by grazing cattle and other wildlife—much of which you can watch pass by from your bedroom.

You won't find a tellie or wifi here, but they've assured us there is phone reception so go ahead and hotspot it if you can't cope without the internet. They've also got a Bluetooth speaker so you can soundtrack your stay with ease, plus board games to keep you entertained.

The true showstopper here though is the gorg outdoor bath for two—it's completely private so you can just as easily enjoy a soak in the sunshine or by starlight. Stunning!

Surrounded by the Porongurup National Park, this spacey, light-filled timber cabin ticks all the boxes, sitting on 40 wild hectares with some pretty cool views. The massive spa sits in a window-lit room that faces the picturesque Porongurup Ranges. The room then spills out onto the balcony, where deck chairs also face this superb sight. 

If you manage to drag yourself away from this WA Airbnb, you’ll be able to explore the Porongurup region, which is home to plenty of walking trails such as the Castle Rock Granite Skywalk and many wineries that meander right to Mount Barker.

Being completely off-grid on 75 acres of farm and bushland means there’s plenty of privacy to dip into the tempting outdoor bath on The Cabin’s verandah. After a relaxing sunset soak at this WA stay, you can prep a cheese plate, pour yourself a drink and sit at the patio’s bar, or cosy up by the outdoor fire pit (depending on the season). 

As for the house, you’ll be forgiven for thinking you’ve been transported to the Swiss Alps, with this timber-laden home reminding us of a cosy ski lodge. We love that you’re just a teeny 15 minutes from Margaret River town here, with all its sips and eats, plus this pad is dog-friendly too, on request.

Accommodation on an actual Swan Valley winery sound tempting for your winter vacay? At Upper Reach Winery Spa Cottage, you get your very own 20-acre vineyard as a playground, and a log fire to stoke up if you book during the months of June, July or August.

Lock in a stay at this 1907 property and you’re a literal one-minute toddle from the cellar door. Long lunch calling? You’re the same strollable distance to Upper Reach Restaurant so there’s actually no reason to jump in the car at all. If you did want to get those keys out though, Perth CBD is just 30 minutes away with all its shops and tourist spots to explore.

Us? We’ll be on the lovely outdoor deck back at base, or perhaps having a soak in the indoor spa bath, with a bottle of this place’s Verdelho.

Whipping up a snack is easy, thanks to the kitchen with its fridge, kettle and stove. What’s a tiny home stay without a barbecue to fire up though? You’ll find one of those on the deck, complete with a little round table to munch dinner at, as the resident horses graze peacefully nearby.
