The Coolest Airbnbs in Sydney Featuring Luxury Treehouses, Yachts, Tiny Homes & More!

Are you searching for the best and most unique Airbnbs in Sydney, Australia? You’ve come to the right place!

I had the pleasure of living in Sydney, New South Wales a few years back, and I miss it every day! (Especially on the days when it’s below freezing here.) Sydney is one of those cities, where it’s honestly better to get a bit outside the city center to truly enjoy it. I used to live right in the CBD and, while that was convenient and a great experience, it’s really NOT what Sydney is about.

Sydney is home to incredible beaches, like Bondi and Manly and the Blue Mountains and Featherdale Wildlife Park are just a train ride away. So, when looking for a cool Airbnb in Sydney… I highly recommend booking one that lets you experience the incredible beaches and natural landscapes here. However, there are still plenty of incredible Airbnbs within the CBD too!

This list of awesome Sydney Airbnbs ranges from apartments with incredible city views to luxury treehouses and yacht stays, to private beach houses and bungalows! Enjoy!
