15 Perth Airbnbs we can’t wait to check in to

From beachside homes to city-centre apartments, we’ve found the best Airbnbs for your next trip to Perth.

Perth is home to some truly unique Airbnbs, from beautifully restored heritage cottages and city-centre apartments; to tranquil waterfront mansions and coastal cottages a mere few steps from the beach. Here are 15 of our favourites.

Perth CBD

1. Upscale & polished loft

Best for: Luxury shoppers

Sitting pretty in the heart of Perth’s luxury shopping district, this loft counts Louis Vuitton, Prada and Tiffany & Co as its neighbours. Some of Perth’s best bars are right on your doorstep, as is the bus port, His Majesty’s Theatre and a bevy of coffee spots.

The Airbnb itself is a spacious and elegant modern converted heritage building, with polished concrete floors, exposed brick walls and floor to ceiling windows. The luxurious linens and towels are a nice treat, and the fully equipped chef’s kitchen means you can be self-sufficient.

2. Cosy city edge studio

Best for: Couples

This Airbnb is located on the outer edges of the hip Northbridge, walkable to public transport, bars, restaurants and cafes. It features a small kitchen, with a convection microwave, single burner induction cooktop, and fridge.

With access straight off the street, you are right in the thick of it. The hosts live in the apartment above should you need anything, and the building has a communal pool, spa, sauna and gym if you fancy a day of wellness.

3. Kings Park oasis

Best for: Groups or families

This light-filled haven really is an oasis as the name suggests. Perched on the edge of Perth’s iconic Kings Park, this Airbnb is a freshly renovated two-bed apartment.

Highlights include the fully stocked kitchen with a DeLonghi coffee machine, the in-apartment laundry, and a balcony offering views of the city.

The complex also has a gym, pool and tennis court, with the hosts supplying racquets and balls for guests.

Subiaco

4. One bedroom terrace

Best for: Couples or solo travellers

This gorgeous heritage home has been thoughtfully renovated with all the comforts of modern day living.

The sleek monochrome kitchen includes everything you need to cater self-sufficiently (plus a washer and dryer) and includes a dining space that opens up to a sun-drenched deck and courtyard.

The exposed brick, plantation shutters and original fireplaces add a warmth to the space, and the location is superb – walking distance to Subiaco’s iconic Rokeby Road for shopping, restaurants and bars.

Northbridge

5. Cute Northbridge house

Best for: Couples or young families

On the outer edges of the trendy suburb of Northbridge is this quaint two-bedroom heritage cottage. It’s in a quiet street opposite a park, so there’s no need to worry about noise – but the livelihood of Northbridge is only a 10 minute walk away.

The kitchen is exceptionally spacious and is equipped with modern appliances plus pantry essentials. The hardest part about staying will be deciding where to sit and unwind at the end of the day – on the front porch under the trees watching the street go by, or in the secluded back courtyard.

6. Northbridge two-story apartment

Best for: Families

This light-filled two story Northbridge apartment is the perfect place to base yourself for a Perth adventure. The spacious Airbnb features high-beamed ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a large balcony offering views of the lush green Russell Square Park and city skyline.

The home is equipped with everything you need, including a cot and high-chair for families, and the yoga mats in the living room and hammock on the balcony provide a nice touch.

7. Orange Avenue

Best for: Families or groups

This beautifully renovated 1920s cottage features high ceilings, timber floorboards, exposed brickwork, and a cosy fireplace perfect for enjoying a glass of wine.

Located in a quiet, character-filled area near a park, just outside the central business district, it’s walking distance from some of Perth’s best bars and restaurants – as well as being conveniently close to things like the leafy Hyde Park, Perth Cultural Centre, WA Museum and WA Art Gallery.

East Perth

8. Royal Respite

Best for: Couples who love a view

This gem of an apartment in the picturesque hub of East Perth ticks all the boxes. Offering the best of both worlds, it’s situated in the idyllic and tranquil waterfront precinct of Claisebrook Cove, yet is just two kilometres from the Perth CBD.

The complex has its own heated pool, an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, a balcony overlooking leafy Royal Street, a plush queen bedroom and well-equipped kitchen.

The Claisbrook Cove foreshore is a beautiful spot for a waterfront walk, a coffee or meal at one of the stunning riverfront restaurants. And for sports-lovers, Optus Stadium is just a short stroll away.

9. Prestigious two-story Royal waterfront

Best for: Large groups up to six people

In one of the best streets in the prestigious riverside precinct is this exquisite four-bedroom Airbnb. The prime location means you can stroll right out of the house onto the Claisbrook Cove foreshore for a coffee at Toast, or for a beer and dinner at The Royal.

Just across the bridge is the iconic Crown Towers for those who fancy a flutter, and the home is also surrounded by lush green parks.

On the ground floor, the fully equipped chef’s kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast at home, including a fridge, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, coffee machine, as well as pots, pans and utensils; and the in-home laundry with washer and dryer adds even more convenience.

And the apartment has its own laundry equipped with a washing machine, dryer, iron, and ironing board for guest use.

11. The Cottesloe cabin

Best for: Beach-going families or groups

The Cottesloe Cabin is an architecturally designed Scandinavian-style haven. Designed to accommodate both short term and long term stays, it offers multi-purpose accommodation for professional travelers, couples or families.

The two bedrooms both feature ensuites, and the beautiful open-plan living space spills out onto the sun-drenched deck.

The house is located in the heart of North Cottesloe, with the hosts providing two Lekker bikes so guests can ride to Cottesloe Beach and along the coastline.

12. Light and bright villa

Best for: Families or groups keen to entertain

This modern three bedroom villa is located 100m from the beach and a short walk from Cottesloe’s iconic pubs and restaurants.

The fully renovated space features three bedrooms, one bathroom, separate toilet and a fully functioning laundry with a washer and dryer, as well as outdoor drying facilities, a double garage, full chef’s kitchen and secure gated entry.

But the best part of this Airbnb is the backyard – the lush landscaped gardens, glistening pool, outdoor shower and huge decked entertaining area (complete with BBQ facilities) will make you never want to leave.

13. Luxury coastal townhouse

Best for: Families or groups looking for a little luxury

This stunning two bedroom townhouse is nestled in the heart of Cottesloe, a mere 100m from the beach – however you might find it hard to drag yourself away from the luxurious space.

The home features an expansive living space with opulent designer touches, a lounge area bathed in natural light that comes streaming through the windows, a serene courtyard, elegant dining area, open plan chef’s kitchen and two luxurious bedrooms each with their own private balcony and ensuite. A little taste of luxury right on the beach.

14. Sorrento Beach Retreat

The Mediterranean-styled alfresco area includes an outdoor kitchen, breakfast bar and daybed, and swinging chair. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable lounge room with Netflix, and a kitchenette equipped with all the essentials, and a queen bedroom with an ensuite including bathrobes, a double-size shower, and Aesop toiletries.

The house is just steps away from a snorkeling trail at the end of the street, and less than 500 meters from the beach – as such, the hosts provide snorkels and goggles along with a beach umbrella and towels.

Leederville

15. Heritage meets modern in Leederville

Best for: Families or groups

Enjoy the perfect blend of heritage charm and modern amenities in this light-filled cottage in hip Leederville. Located off Oxford St, you’re steps away from shops, cafes, restaurants and the retro Luna Cinema.
