Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Australia

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Australia?

    A week is a short time to see this vast country! Focusing on one area is best. Sydney offers iconic sights like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, Bondi Beach, and the Royal Botanic Garden. Alternatively, Melbourne boasts laneway culture, Federation Square, and St Kilda beach. For a different experience, explore the Great Barrier Reef from Cairns or explore the unique wildlife of Tasmania.

    Among the short term rentals in Australia, Bodhi Treehouse, Apollo Villa - Short Walk To Beach and 2 Bed Award Winning Apartment are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Australia?

    A month allows for a more diverse itinerary. You could start in Sydney, then fly to Uluru (Ayers Rock) to witness its majesty. Next, explore the red centre, perhaps taking a scenic flight over Kings Canyon. Then, head to Cairns for the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. Finally, spend some time in Melbourne before heading home, ensuring a balance of city and nature.

    For an extended stay, consider areas offering a good balance of amenities and natural beauty. Melbourne and Sydney provide cosmopolitan city life, but regions like the Sunshine Coast or Tasmania offer a more relaxed pace with access to stunning natural landscapes. Those seeking a warmer climate might choose areas in the Northern Territory or Queensland.
  • Is Australia safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, Australia is considered safe for solo travellers, including women. However, standard precautions should always be taken, such as being aware of your surroundings, particularly at night, and avoiding isolated areas. Like any country, petty crime can occur in tourist areas.
  • Which region of Australia is most popular for its pleasant weather?

    This depends on your preference. The southern states (Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia) generally have cooler, more temperate weather. Queensland and Northern New South Wales enjoy a warmer, subtropical climate, while areas further north experience a tropical climate. The best region depends on your tolerance for heat and cold.
  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Australia?

    Immediately contact the nearest Australian Federal Police station and your embassy or consulate. They can assist with replacement documents and provide further guidance. You should also report the loss to your travel insurer.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Australia special?

    Australia Day (26 January) is a national public holiday. Other significant events include the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (February/March), various local festivals celebrating harvest and indigenous culture throughout the year, and Christmas in December, which is celebrated as a summer holiday.
