Dunsborough | Sleeps 4
Caesia By Melo Studios
If something a bit glam is on the cards for your next Dunsborough holiday, check out Caesia by Melo Studios. The architecturally designed WA space has a luxe modern vibe, dripping with elevated touches and pops of pink. Each bedroom has its own king-size bed with MicroCloud bedding to sink into after a long and hard day sampling the region's best food and wine.
On top of that, the hosts at this place can arrange some tempting extras for an additional fee. We’re talking gourmet hampers or platters, in-room massages and even a yoga instructor who can teach a private class during your stay. All that, a three-minute stroll from town. Yes please.
Quindalup | Sleeps 2
Luxury Couple’s Escape
Located just six minutes’ drive from Dunsborough, this luxury getaway does what it says on the tin and then some. The architecturally designed WA chalet is surrounded by five acres of lush forest, so you'll feel like you’re in your own little world as soon as you arrive.
Start your day with a wildlife-spotting walk around the property then settle by the private plunge pool and soak up some sunshine. At night you can fire up the barbecue and crack a bottle of wine or wind down inside with a movie—there's even a beautiful fireplace to keep you toasty and warm in winter. We guarantee you'll be embracing all the slow vacay vibes here.
Dunsborough | Sleeps 6
Djurapin
Meaning ‘happy’ in Nyoongar, Djurapin well and truly gives all the feel-good holiday vibes. Located 50m from the beach and with enough room for eight guests, the art-luxe home is an absolutely stunning choice for a group getaway down south.
For us, the highlight is the gorg indoor/outdoor living space that features a living area that looks out over a seriously good outdoor entertaining zone, complete with a spacious jacuzzi that really sells it. Bubbles in hand, bubbles on in the spa—yes, this is living.
Dunsborough | Sleeps 2
Revellers’ Return
Who doesn’t love a bit of outdoor bath tub action during their WA getaway? At this guest suite in Dunsborough you get to chillax in a tub on your own private courtyard, all while being centrally located in a funky budget stay.
Your Airbnb is part of a residential home, but designed for short term stay with privacy at the forefront. Expect a quirky indoor/outdoor space with a kitchenette for whipping up a snack, a comfy queen bed and a separate bathroom. It’s just what you need when you’re out and about doing all the fun stuff this region offers by the spade, and it’s close to the local beaches which is an added plus.
Dunsborough | Sleeps 9
Beach Life On Beach
A mere 250m from the water of Geographe Bay, sits this two-storey beach house that has appeal by the bucketload. Once you're settled, it's pretty darn hard to pull yourself away from all the stunning living zones in this five bedroom Old Dunsborough retreat. Then again, you're only a three-minute walk from Meelup Reserve's many pristine bays and a six-minute cycle from Dunsborough town centre, so we're sure you'll muster enough energy to head off exploring.
When you return you can get the wood fireplace going and crank up the barbecue as you enjoy a few sundowner wines under the vine-covered pergola. This is the ultimate large group getaway or family escape.
Dunsborough | Sleeps 2
Voyagers Return
If you're looking to escape the busy city life for a few days, Voyagers Return is your new home away from home. There's no denying this space has been lovingly put together, with the owners' personal collection of treasured antiques and travel buys giving the space a super cosy lived-in feel.
Curl up in the light and bright loft-style cottage with a morning cuppa before walking into town for your daily bakery fix. Then end your day by the fire with a glass of red. Bliss.
Naturaliste | Sleeps 2
The Little Straw House
One look at the aesthetic interiors of this immaculate little strawbale studio and we guarantee you'll be ready to book. The picture-perfect stay has everything you need, with a super relaxing lounge and dining space, plus a fireplace and smart projector for late-night movies in bed. By day, you can explore the endless nature trails that stem from the property or head into Dunsborough—it's only a five minute drive away.
Our go-to for a romantic escape, this one-bedroom studio is actually the second Airbnb property at Solitaire Homestead—a working farm located on a 110-acre slice of picturesque bushland. If you are travelling with a larger group, book out the two-bedroom main homestead too and take advantage of the iconic bath.
Dunsborough | Sleeps 2
Luxury By The Lake
For an elegant stay on the cheap, Lori's lakeside bed and breakfast is an absolute dream. Sleeping two, the secluded studio has its own private entry and all the mod cons you need. We're talking a super comfy king bed, Netflix-enabled TV and kitchenette where you can make your own coffee before taking the brisk 20-minute walk into town.
The best part about actually staying with an Airbnb Host is that Lori is on hand to arrange a welcome cheeseboard for a small additional fee, guide you on a coastal walk or point you to the region's best wineries. Win!
Dunsborough | Sleeps 2
Meelup Studio
Keen to have some epic eats, seriously good wine and fantastic surf within minutes of your accommodation, and yet like the idea of a serene barn-style stay? Meelup Studio is the Dunsborough Airbnb that’s well worth a closer peek. It's sporting a kinda rustic farm yard meets coastal chic aesthetic, with bright white walls, timber furnishings, landscaped gardens and endless natural light, topped off with a fireplace and streaming-ready tv for cosy nights in.
If you feel like venturing out, you're a literal three-minute drive from town which is pretty handy for the foodies among you, plus you’ve got bike trails and walking tracks on your doorstep to burn it all off the next day.
Yallingup | Sleeps 2
Petit Eco Cabin
Perfect for a romantic getaway or a solo trip to treat-yo-self, this quaint timber cabin just ten minutes’ drive outside of Dunsborough is the ideal place to unwind with a glass of vino. Nestled within an organic vineyard called Windows Estate (quite convenient, we think), this cabin’s rustic bathtub sits under eucalyptus trees and faces a serene lake.
We think you’ll find it hard to resist the urge to ‘gram this tub—especially when you’re lying back with a glass of red in hand.
