10 of Australia's most unique Airbnbs

Get your travel bucket list ready. - by Lucy Francis
  • 22 Jul 2021

Sadly, it seems like international travel is going to stay on the backburner for a little while yet. But fear not, because our very own sunburnt country is full of wonderful locations – and some very unique places to lay your head down within them.

Maybe it's the cabin fever that ensues from being in lockdown, but if one thing is for sure, it's that everyone is longing for holidays more than ever before. "Whether it’s an earthouse, treehouse or teepee, guests are craving unique experiences that take them away from the everyday and put nature on their doorstep," says Susan Wheeldon, Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand at Airbnb.

Pack your bags and get the car running, these 10 one-of-a-kind holiday accommodations are set to become destinations within their own right!

1. The Pod, Lewisham, TAS
