Perth Epic Stays
by Matador Creators Jun 12, 2023

Like the Sydney of Australia’s west coast, Perth is a vibrant city that’s known for its pristine beaches, thriving food and art scenes, and laid-back atmosphere. It’s home to one of the largest inner city parks in the world, Kings Park, and surrounded by beautiful and historic areas including Fremantle, Cottesloe, and Rottnest Island where you can spot quokkas. Whether you’re looking to soak up the rays during the day or indulge in the city’s nightlife, Perth is worth a visit — and these Airbnbs in Perth are the perfect home base.

We hope you love these Airbnbs in Perth! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

Located in the heritage-listed west end of Fremantle, less than 10 miles from Perth proper, this one-bedroom, two-story cottage is both chic and cozy, with an interior made of recycled bricks, steel railway beams, and repurposed telegraph poles. The area where it’s located is lively with eateries and watering holes, but the private cottage sits behind a walled courtyard away from the bustle. The queen and single beds make it an ideal space for couples or small families. Private parking for standard-sized cars is available in front of the property.

Inside this modern, comfortable one-bedroom Airbnb, you’ll feel like you’re staying in a swanky city apartment, but you’re actually staying in a timber cottage on the edge of Serpentine National Park. The cottage is spacious with two bedrooms, two living areas, and two bathrooms, one of which has a full-sized bath, as well as a well-equipped kitchen and full laundry setup. But the highlight is the large wraparound verandah where you can listen to the sweet melody of songbirds and the rush of a nearby creek — keep an eye out for kangaroos while you sip your morning coffee. The property also has a lawn, garden, and gas barbecue to enjoy.
