The best Airbnbs in Perth

The cosy cottage nature stay

Aptly named ‘The Bootmaker’s House’, this quaint little Airbnb was once a worker’s cottage for the bootmaker of the historic J. Pickering Bootstore. The Airbnb owners have retained all the charm of the cottage while fusing it with wonderful modern elements, like the little library room and antique round table. Hike the fields by day, and get the fireplace cranking by night. 

Beds? Two queen beds. Accommodates up to four guests. 

Location perks? We’re not in Kansas anymore. Switch off the tech and enjoy all the nature of this secluded stay.

Budget range? Less than you’d think for this classy rustic escape.

The home where mosaic meets modern

Spacious only begins to describe this two-bedroom apartment with its sprawling marble countertop and stained glass windows. It’s tucked away on the main strip in Fremantle, so you’ve got a front-row seat to some of the suburb's best cafès and restaurants. It’s a wonderful landing pad for a cosy couple’s weekend away.

Beds? Two beds. Accommodates up to four guests. 

Location perks? Smack bang in the heart of Fremantle on High Street – right near the main strip of the mall.

Budget range? A tiny splurge is worth it to be a stroll away from Fremantle’s action.

The artsy industrial apartment in Fremantle

To put it simply, this Airbnb just oozes cool: from the record player and wooden box of discs to the exposed wooden beams and arching windows. Originally built in 1890, the space does well to show off the historic charm of Fremantle’s West End while still incorporating some of that new-day spunk, like the smart TV and Bluetooth speaker, if vinyl isn’t your thing. This couples getaway will take you back in time for the weekend, without sacrificing all the best parts of the 21st century. 

Beds? One king bed. Sleeps two.

Location perks? Super duper close to the foreshore of Bather’s Bay and a lot of wonderful restaurants.

Budget range? A steal considering all it has to offer.

The romantic studio cabin with a tree deck

If city slicking is getting old and it’s time to ground yourself, this hilltop retreat will make all your wishes come true. The attached guest suite with a private entrance is surrounded by the rolling greens of Wungong Regional Park. Pour a cuppa and kick back on the tree deck which is just as beautiful in the morning as it is at night when fairy lights illuminate the barbecue setting. Make it a weekend to unwind amongst nature or turn into an adventure destination with the valley’s many tracks. 

Beds? One queen bed. Sleeps two.

Location perks? Bushwalks, bike tracks and rolling greens will be your backyard.

Budget range? This studio adjoining the main house makes for a super affordable stay.

The spacious State Heritage-listed terrace

Don’t let the traditional exterior of this Fremantle Airbnb fool you. Inside, you'll find an industrial-chic abode with lots of timber furnishings, warm lighting and exposed brick walls that whisper tales of the building's past life as offices for the Fremantle Municipal Tramways.  The SoHo's modern kitchen is perfect for those foodies who can’t leave their cooking at home. If you can convince yourself to leave the epic space, Fremantle's attractions are only a stone's throw away. We recommend hitting up the Fremantle Markets, followed by fish and chips at Cicerello's.

Beds? One king bed and one queen bed. Accommodates up to six guests.

Location perks? With Bathers Beach, the railway station, and countless eateries just a few minutes walk away, you could definitely get away without a car here.

The rustic loft in Fremantle’s West End

Finding a splendidly central Airbnb is a top priority for many, yet one con of a prime location is that it can be super noisy. This loft tucked away in Fremantle’s West End is hidden just enough to give you some peace and quiet, but is still ridiculously close to the area’s 'cappuccino strip', mall and eateries. 

Beds? One king bed. Sleeps two. 

Location perks? This Airbnb is situated in a historical heritage-listed precinct in Fremantle with a charming mix of new and old buildings.

Budget range? Not too spenny, not super cheapo. Right in the middle.
