Luxury house

Warwick

This is perhaps the true MVP of all child-friendly Airbnbs in Australia. Yes, the enclosed pool, outdoor dining, lawn games, pool toys, and gazebo are definitely a plus, but dare we say it, that’s not even the best part. Not only is this Airbnb pet-friendly (so you don’t have to worry about finding a sitter for old Fido), this property makes every effort to ensure parents stock a pack ‘n’ play/bed of travel, books for children and toys for little ones under 5 years old, an independent high chair, a baby bath and tableware for children. Book your stay here.

Plus points: washing machine, travel cot, children’s books, toys, high chair, children’s crockery, closed swimming pool, lawn games

The Burrows sports all the foundations of a stunning lake house with water views, fresh greenery, European appliances and those gorgeous rustic casement windows.

This beautiful Airbnb in Tasmania is an 1860s stone cottage that has been restored to open the house up to stunning views of the Freycinet Peninsula and Great Oyster Bay. Book a stay here.

Book your stay here.

The extras: washing machine, books and toys for children, WiFi, access to the beach, outdoor fireplace

Torquay

If Goldilocks lived by the sea, we’re pretty sure this place would be.

Book your stay here.
