Much more than a pit stop on the way to Margaret River, Dunsborough has to be one of our fave getaways in the south west, not least because it’s home to some of the best Airbnbs.

Located about three hours from Perth, smack bang in between Busselton and Margaret River, the chic coastal town is flanked by world class beaches and stunning nature trails, not to mention some of the region's best wineries and breweries.

The town itself just keeps getting better and better too, with some incredible spots to eat and drink plus a string of cool coastal boutiques guaranteed to test your willpower. Ready to lock in a Dunsborough escape? Urban List has rounded up the best Dunsborough Airbnbs to ease your trip planning. Get booking!

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.

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.

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.

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.
