Infinity Chalet via Airbnb.
Just three hours south from Perth lies the famed Australian wine region and town Margaret River. A flourishing corner of flora and fauna on this island continent – partly owing to the eponymous river’s ancient silt – Margaret River is a premium winemaking hive.
Craft breweries and wineries abound in this Western Australian spot yet so do the offerings of the natural world. Return to nature when you’ve had enough of wine tasting exploring local-favourite natural springs, limestone caves of Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park or watching out to sea for migrating whales.
We’ve curated an edit of some of the most luxe Margaret River Airbnbs for budding sommeliers and Romanticists alike. Read on for our top picks, from riverside chalets to architectural ventures hidden by bush.

Handcrafted on the edge of the Karri Forest along the Margaret River is the rammed-earth villa Karri Loam. A retreat for those wanting to take a step back, a soak in the outdoor tub after dining alfresco on the terrace would not go astray.

Luxe riverfront Airbnb in Margaret River
Infinity Chalet, Margaret River
It’s hard to beat the views of ocean and the Margaret River itself from this waterfront chalet. Soak in the spa bath or steam shower before getting cosy by the fire after a day of exploring the water. You can bring your dog along for getaway too – though it might be best to keep them on a lead if they tend to wander due to the visiting kangaroos.
Luxe architectural Airbnb in Margaret River
Architect-designed hidden paradise, Gnarabup
An elegant yet humble stay, this seaside Airbnb was thoughtfully designed with natural lighting front of mind.
