Airbnb: 10 most sought-after properties in Australia
While many fork out thousands for boutique hotels for their vacation, others prefer to take a different route and book their dream holiday house through Airbnb.
And on Friday, Airbnb revealed the 10 most sought-after properties across Australia based on their wish list system - from spectacular hinterland hideaways to stunning mountainside treehouses.
Here, FEMAIL Looks at the top 10 most in-demand properties across the country and what it is that makes them so popular.
'What’s unique about the most sought-after Airbnbs in Australia is the mix and diversity of properties,' Airbnb Australia's Country Manager, Sam McDonagh, said.
'It's evident that travellers have a fascination with Australia’s great outdoors with hinterland villas and forest treehouses topping the list; however, they’re also wanting to indulge in Australia’s more urban lifestyle, with luxury New York-styled apartments and rooftop terraces coming out on top too.'
