Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Australia

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay?

    A week's holiday only scratches the surface! For a diverse experience, consider Sydney's iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, then fly to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory for an awe-inspiring view of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Kata Tjuta rock formations. You could also explore the Great Barrier Reef, perhaps via a trip to Cairns and a boat tour. It's a jam-packed itinerary, but a good starting point.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Australia?

    Among the short term rentals in Australia, Bodhi Treehouse, Apollo Villa - Short Walk To Beach and 2 Bed Award Winning Apartment are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Australia?

    A month allows for a more in-depth exploration. Start with the east coast, perhaps visiting Sydney, the Blue Mountains National Park (consider a scenic railway ride), and then heading north to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. From there, you could fly to Melbourne, exploring its laneways and street art, and then perhaps visit Tasmania, known for its stunning natural beauty like Freycinet National Park and Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Alternatively, you could explore the west coast, visiting Perth and its surrounding areas, including Margaret River wine region.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a pool in Australia?

    2 Bed Award Winning Apartment, 545 Esplanade and Prime Qlty Huge Apt @ Key Spot W/ Ocean View are the best short term rentals with a pool in Australia.

  • What currency is used, and how easy is it to find ATMs?

    The Australian dollar (AUD) is the currency. ATMs are incredibly common; you'll find them in almost every town and city, often clustered in convenient locations like shopping centres and near tourist attractions. Most accept international cards.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Australia?

    The best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Australia are 2 Bed Award Winning Apartment, One Bedroom Luxury Apartment and Esperance Island View Apartments.

  • What are the most charming areas to spend a weekend in Australia?

    For a charming weekend getaway, consider the Hunter Valley (renowned for its wineries), the Yarra Valley (another fantastic wine region near Melbourne), or perhaps the quaint coastal town of Byron Bay in New South Wales, known for its beaches and relaxed atmosphere. Each offers a different kind of charm.
  • What are the best short term rentals for families and kids in Australia?

    The best short term rentals for families and kids in Australia are Apollo Villa - Short Walk To Beach, 2 Bed Award Winning Apartment and Debbie's Place.

  • Which areas are best for an extended stay?

    For an extended stay, consider areas offering a good balance of amenities and natural beauty. Melbourne and Sydney are great city bases, providing easy access to day trips and surrounding regions. However, for a more relaxed pace of life, areas like Noosa (Queensland) or the Margaret River region (Western Australia) could be ideal, offering a more laid-back lifestyle with beautiful scenery.
  • Is Australia safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, yes, Australia is considered safe for solo travellers, including women. However, as with any country, it's wise to take standard safety precautions, such as being aware of your surroundings, especially at night, and avoiding walking alone in poorly lit areas. Common sense prevails.
  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    This depends on the time of year, but generally, areas in the south-east, such as Melbourne and parts of Victoria, and areas in southern Queensland and New South Wales, offer a more temperate climate with pleasant weather for much of the year. However, Australia experiences diverse weather patterns across its vast landmass.
  • What should one do if they lose their passport or documents?

    Immediately contact the nearest Australian Federal Police station and your country's embassy or consulate. They will guide you through the process of obtaining replacement documents. It's also advisable to make copies of important documents before you travel and store them separately from the originals.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Australia special?

    Australia Day (26 January) is a major national celebration. Many cities and towns host events and parades. Other significant events include the Melbourne Cup Carnival (horse racing) in November and various state-specific festivals and events throughout the year, such as Vivid Sydney (light festival) in winter.
