21 Of The Best Airbnbs In NSW For A Gorgeous Getaway In 2025

No, it’s not the deep, dark Cloud Forest of Monteverde—although it sure does look like it. This secluded Magical Rainforest Retreat is unlike any other Airbnb in NSW. While most properties require you to find the key at the front door, the entrance to this treetop paradise features a wooden bridge decorated with hundreds of fairy lights.

Inspired by Balinese villas, the cabin is situated on 24 acres of rainforest,  which is home to an abundance of wildlife like feathertail gliders, glow worms, possums, and koalas. Make sure you head down to the creek, scope out the large double swing suspended over the water, and rug up with a book in front of the fire.

Nestled into Wolgan Valley and surrounded by the Greater Blue Mountains UNESCO World Heritage-listed National Parks, this stunning architecturally designed NSW Airbnb will take your breath away.

Perfect for an off-grid getaway (there is no mobile reception or WiFi here), you can soak away all your city stress in the sculptural outdoor tub, while you soak up the twinkling lights of the Milky Way. Cosy up by the firepit and watch the sun hit the sandstone escarpment, walk or bicycle in the surrounding acres of bushland, and enjoy the peace and quite of this special spot.

This tiny home is perfect for couples looking to soak up the serenity of Jervis Bay's beautiful bushland. Located on a former native wildflower farm (the same property as Marlu House, above), The Hideaway is tucked into nature but has all the mod-cons needed for a luxurious beach holiday.

Inside you'll find air-con, Wi-Fi, a smart TV, a cooktop, a dishwasher, an oven, and a microwave. All this, alongside a king-size bed, an outdoor fire pit, and an outdoor shower. Essentially, a pint-sized slice of heaven made for summer escapes.

Just ten minutes outside of Mudgee, near wineries, wedding venues, and restaurants, this sweet farm stay also features a toasty wood-fired hot tub. Filled up with fresh mineralised water from deep underground, the tub comes complete with a view over the surrounding paddocks and bushland hills.

As for the cottage, expect large bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a jukebox, and artwork and custom furniture from local Mudgee artists. Great for groups looking to explore the region.

Pittwater is an absolute goldmine when it comes to rustic beach shacks with pretty water views. The Little Black Shack is one of the best coastal Airbnbs near Sydney—once an old fisherman’s shack, it has now been transformed into a private eco-retreat. If it’s no roads, no cars, and no shops you’re after, this beauty is perfect.

A weekend away at this cabin means you’ll get to soak up the bubbles in a giant stone bath, read a good book on the window box couch, warm up in front of the fireplace, crack some oysters, and sip champagne on the sandstone terrace, go kayaking, bushwalking, and fishing on the shoreline

If a rustic country escape in the beautiful Southern Highlands sounds like a dream to you, take a look at Wildernest. Described as a slow stay experience, it's off-grid, sustainable, and features a stringy bark hut and two tiny homes as accommodation options. 

T1 and T2 are the tiny home Airbnbs, and both feature wood-fired outdoor baths (the eco-friendly version of a jacuzzi, if you will). Surrounded by nature—specifically the Wingello Forest and its many ancient gums—we can't think of a more beautiful spot to bathe. 

This lovingly-restored farmers cottage is now a super cute couples’ stay tucked away in Dharug National Park, NSW. It’s surrounded by a grower’s garden full of fresh fruit and veggies, and the peeps that own this place will even let you know what is ripe and ready to eat when you stay so you can take your pick.

Read a book in front of the cosy indoor log fire, or fill the outdoor stone bath with hot water and have a soak. There’s a tandem bicycle supplied for those who feel like exploring further afield, and you’re not far from The Springs golf course which has a great restaurant for lunch. If you’re still feeling peckish come dinner time, there’s a wood-fired pizza oven and barbecue ready to be fired up, plus a fire pit to sit around with a nightcap.

Located less than five minutes from the historic NSW town of Berry, this luxe barn-style house sleeps seven people and, more importantly, is dog-friendly! It boasts three bedrooms, five bathrooms, three living room areas, a wide timber deck, and a cosy slow-combustion wood heater.

On the surrounding property, you'll find a veggie patch, chicken coup, sprawling swimming pool, treehouse, creek, and outdoor fire pit. Because two fireplaces are better than one.

When there’s a quiet country road that leads you all the way to a stunning farmyard property, you know you’ve hit the jackpot. The Shed is a converted farm shed that has been transformed using a heap of recycled materials and it’s by far one of the most character-filled Airbnbs in NSW.

Here, you’re more than welcome to bring any animal friends along and you’ll find spacious living areas, a wood fire, and a pizza oven that makes even the worst cooks somewhat impressive. And not to mention, it’s set on the Kangaroo River (so yes, spontaneous dips during the warmer months are necessary).

With a view across the vines of a working vineyard, this two-storey, two-bedroom Airbnb is perfect for a small group getaway in Mudgee.

Like, a wood fireplace, reverse cycle air conditioning, and stunnning views across to Lawsons Creek and Mount Buckaroo. 

Adventure-lovers take note. This adults-only luxury glamping experience set on a family farm in the wilderness of the Capertee Valley in NSW offers a farm stay with a difference. There’s two tents located around 60 metres apart in a paddock here, so if you’re travelling with friends you can book both. 

Wake up in your king size bed and take in the seriously epic canyon views. Your home away from home might have canvas walls but it doesn’t scrimp on the luxe factor. You’ve got your own kitchenette and an ensuite bathroom with a shower, large vanity and complimentary IKOU wellness products—plus bubble bath for the tempting outdoor tub. Cook up a feast on the Heston Blumenthal barbecue while the resident cows graze nearby, or take a pew by your private outdoor fire pit and bask in the sounds of nature.

Welcome to your very own fairytale cottage just footsteps from Bowral’s boutique shopping and dining destinations.

The large living space is a real highlight, with its feature fireplace and huge lounge that just calls for group chats. But you’re spoilt for choice as there’s also a separate family room, with a 65-inch Samsung Smart TV, James Lane oversized sofa, and wood heater (matches, kindling and quality local hardwood supplied). Cuppa anyone? An adorable touch at this pad is the full tea service set for eight guests, with china teacups and afternoon tea stands. A silver tea service and other items can also be provided on request. Adorbs.

If your idea of a cosy getaway is sitting by the fire in a shed in the snow, then Tinkersfield is the place for you. Located in Crackenback Valley, these tin cabin Airbnbs are surrounded by rugged bushland which, come winter, is blanketed in snow.

There are a total of five stays on the property, but the Field Hut and Field Studio are the ones to book for a romantic escape. Despite the rustic exterior, these two Airbnbs are as luxe as they come—they're decked out with clawfoot baths, plush king beds, rain showers, and roaring fireplaces. Plus, the large windows allow for breathtaking vistas.

The owners can offer curated food and drinks packages so you can get into the holiday spirit.

This one's for the architecture lovers out there. Designed by Alexander Symes, Pepper Tree Passive House is a state-of-the-art eco-home with a long list of awards for its impressive approach to sustainability.

Featured in Dezeen and on Grand Designs, the Airbnb's name comes from the 50-year-old Pepper tree that winds up through the centre of the house. Perfect for a relaxing escape and close to Wollongong and Kiama.

For a romantic getaway in NSW like no other, you’ll want to make your way to Bilpin (Blue Mountains way) for what has to be one of NSW's most special retreats.

This clifftop property is built into a natural rock platform and has a small front door opening (Hobbit-style), which means you’ll score front seats to the best damn view anyone could ever lay eyes on, and a pretty nifty in-ground hot tub too (not to mention the view is perfection).
