Frequently Asked Questions about short term rentals in Australia

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

    A week is a short time, so focus on one or two areas. Sydney offers iconic sights like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, along with beautiful Bondi Beach. Alternatively, explore Melbourne's vibrant laneways, street art, and cultural attractions like the National Gallery of Victoria. If you prefer nature, consider a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, though that would likely consume most of your week.
  • What are the best short term rentals in Australia?

  • What attractions should you visit when you spend a month here?

    A month gives you time for a more diverse experience. Start with Sydney and Melbourne, then fly to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. Consider a road trip along the Great Ocean Road, seeing the Twelve Apostles. For a different pace, explore the stunning landscapes of Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory. You could even spend some time in Tasmania, known for its wilderness and wildlife.
  • What 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 centers and near tourist attractions.
  • What are the best short term rentals with a jacuzzi in Australia?

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

    The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, offer stunning scenery and charming towns like Katoomba and Leura. Alternatively, the Yarra Valley, near Melbourne, is renowned for its wineries and picturesque countryside. For a coastal escape, consider the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne, with its beautiful beaches and relaxed atmosphere.
  • 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 Sea Change Beachfront Apartments, Debbie's Place and 545 Esplanade.

  • Which areas are best for an extended stay?

    For a longer stay, consider basing yourself in a city like Melbourne or Sydney for access to amenities and cultural attractions, then using it as a springboard for day trips or longer excursions. Alternatively, if you prefer a slower pace, towns like Noosa (Queensland) or Byron Bay (New South Wales) offer a relaxed coastal lifestyle, perfect for longer stays.
  • Is it safe for solo travelers, including women?

    Generally, yes. Australia is considered a safe country for solo travelers, including women, but as with any destination, it's wise to practice common sense and be aware of your surroundings, especially at night. Stick to well-lit areas and avoid walking alone in isolated places.
  • Which region is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    This depends on the time of year, but generally, areas in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales (such as the Gold Coast and Byron Bay) offer warm weather for much of the year. The climate in these regions is subtropical, meaning warm summers and mild winters.
  • What do you do if you lose your passport or documents?

    Immediately contact your nearest Australian embassy or consulate. They can help you with replacing your passport and other important documents. You should also report the loss to the local police.
  • What seasonal celebrations make it special?

    Australia Day (January 26th) is a major national celebration. Many cities have parades and events. Other significant events include the Melbourne Cup horse race (November), Vivid Sydney (winter), and various Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations across the country.
