This is Australia's best holiday home for 2020

Now that all Aussies can move freely around their home states, it's time to pack a bag and head to a holiday house this summer. 

Australian holiday rental website Stayz has rounded up the top homes in the country for its annual Holiday Homes Awards.

According to the most booked and best-reviewed properties of the year, the top two spots went to Victorian homes.

Ranking as the best in the country is a small renovated cottage in Halls Gap, in the Grampians National Park.

Hidden among a forest of gum trees, the cottage sleeps four and has an outdoor fire pit with mountain views, so there are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife.

Apartment in Mornington Peninsula, VIC

The runner-up went to a two-bedroom beach-side apartment in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula.

This spot is the ultimate relaxation staycation with the Peninsula Hot Springs nearby, as well as beaches and Cape Schank National Park.
