15 Incredible Cottagecore Airbnbs Around Australia

These idyllic getaways are perfect to unwind and recharge from the world.

A shift away from the sparse Scandinavian minimalist trend, the cottagecore aesthetic offers a warm, inviting, romantic, and cosy feel that mixes DIY, vintage and a desire to bring the outdoors in.

It’s a form of escapism and refers to a fantasy world far removed from the chaos of the world, which is exactly what we’re all in need of right now – a cottage getaway to help unwind and recharge from the world.

So, we’ve rounded up the best cottagecore getaways around Australia to help you achieve just that. Spend a week (or even a short weekend) slowly sipping your morning coffee on the verandah as you soak in the fresh air, playing board games for a dose of nostalgia, going for bushwalks, enjoying a good book while relaxing in an outdoor bathtub or drinking wine in front of the fire.

These stays are places you can create the most special memories with friends, family, or your significant other. Plus, once your vacation is over, you’ll have all the inspiration you need to sprinkle some cottagecore interiors into your own home.
