Best Swan Valley Airbnbs
Brigadoon | Sleeps 10
The Eden Reserve
Got a gang of peeps to cater for during your Swan Valley getaway? This stylish villa has heaps of space to relax after a day spent exploring all those restaurants, wineries and breweries nearby.
Your accommodation sits on four acres, close to the Bell’s Rapids Nature Reserve so pack those walking shoes. The living and dining space is epic, with a mega glass window that lets the light shine in, plus a grand chandelier that adds a touch of sparkle to those dinner parties you’ll be hosting during your stay.
Add in a private study (in case you need to WFH for a while), three full bathrooms for freshening up, plus a home theatre for movie nights, and that’s your 2026 WA getaway sorted.
Mundaring | Sleeps 3
The Carriage
Prepare for something a little bit different. The Carriage is an adorably unique WA stay crafted from an historic train carriage that was once part of the Barossa Valley Hotel in SA.
Roll on up outside and you’ll be snapping pics of its eye-catching red and green facade. Inside, expect gorgeous wood panelling and windows galore, plus the best clawfoot free-standing bath tub for long, hot soaks.
Your accommodation sits on ten acres of bushland, just three minutes’ drive from charming Mundaring and 20 minutes from the Swan Valley, where all those cellar doors await.
Baskerville | Sleeps 4
Upper Reach Winery Spa Cottage
Accommodation on an actual Swan Valley winery float your boat? At Upper Reach Winery Spa Cottage, you get your very own 20-acre vineyard as a playground. Book 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 with a bottle of this place’s finest, just drinking in the view.
Carmel | Sleeps 2
Mairiposa
A 30-minute drive from the Swan Valley, you’ll find a home away from home among the plum and gum trees at Mairiposa. This rustic farm stay is newly built and offers some lovely little extras city-dwellers will love.
Get unpacked before heading out to pick fresh produce from the fruit orchard (season dependent). There’s fresh eggs to collect from the resident hens too, or you could just settle in by the fire pit and breathe in all that serenity.
Your Airbnb is part of a barn conversion and is set over two levels. Expect open-plan accommodation with a full kitchen and wood fire for cooler months. Bring your picnic basket and a cheese platter because all areas of the farm are open for you to wander. And we reckon there’s nothing better than a nibble and a glass of the good stuff with a lovely leafy view.
Mundaring | Sleeps 4
A Home Away From Home
Light, bright and practical for your WA getaway, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers a clean and clutter-free accommodation option close to the Swan Valley.
Whip up a snack in the spacious kitchen and you’ll find a range of spices and oils kindly provided by your host. If you’re headed out and about, you’ll find the neighbourhood friendly, and you’re within a stone’s throw of a heap of good wineries for that obligatory vino-tasting sesh.
Back at base, there’s a mega couch to cosy up on, plus a dining table in the courtyard for sunset eats.
Perth Hills | Sleeps 10
Kangaroo Valley Homestead
A mere 20-minute car journey away from the beautiful Swan Valley sits Kangaroo Valley Homestead—a, quite frankly, epic accommodation choice that makes it on to our list of the Best Airbnbs in WA. Twin outdoor stone baths? Check. Pink billiards table? Check. Resort-style pool? Check. This Aussie 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.

Henley Brook
The Swan Valley Retreat
Keen on an accommodation spot that gives you access to those tempting hotel extras like a wellness centre? The Swan Valley Retreat has been welcoming guests for more than 25 years and its tropical-inspired outdoor spa sanctuary is calling your name.
Book a stay here, and you can do some seriously zen stuff like relax in a Canadian red cedar sauna, or enjoy a long soak in the hot tub with its muscle-friendly hydrotherapy jets. (You can pair your visit with a cheese or antipasto platter, and a bottle of bubbly too if you so wish). Woo!
In terms of where you’ll actually lay your head come snooze-time, the Merlot and Cabernet rooms offer king-size beds with custom showers and freestanding stone bathtubs. And if you’ve not already done enough chillaxing, you’ll have your own private spa to sit in with bushland views.
West Swan
Maya Maya at Mandoon Estate
Nestled into the adored Mandoon Estate Winery grounds, Maya Maya is an extremely chic airy staycay option for those who love having everything at their fingertips but still feeling totally removed from the chaos of the world.
With 32 rooms and suites overlooking the vineyard’s historic Verdelho vines, there’s also plenty of eating and drinking options, including The Llawn, the estate’s open-air and family friendly beer garden.
Grab a picnic table and get tucked into the pizza menu. There’s soft serve slushies and a candy bar for the kids too. Talking of the littlies, we love that there’s a children’s playground at this accommodation. There’s a cellar door for the adults too, of course, plus reception can help arrange bush walking and mountain biking nearby if you’re in the mood.
Perth
Rose & Crown Hotel
This little Guildford gem has been admired around town for generations—not surprising, given its rambling gardens, charming character touches and heritage finishes.
This centrally located little hotel has both a delicious restaurant and bar onsite as well as a slew of gorgeous eateries just down the strip.
Simple and tidy in its finishes, you’ll be all loved up over a wine in their moody underground cellar and be able to indulge in some of their divine dining options too.
