Frequently asked questions about short term rentals in Australia

  • What attractions should one visit during a week-long stay in Australia?

    A week in Australia only scratches the surface! For a diverse experience, consider Sydney's iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge, followed by a trip to the Blue Mountains National Park for stunning scenery. Then, fly to Melbourne to explore its laneways, street art, and vibrant cultural scene. If time allows, a quick trip to the Great Barrier Reef (perhaps a day trip from Cairns) is highly recommended.

    Among the short term rentals in Australia, Bodhi Treehouse, Bellbird Studio - Pet Friendly - Glamping Getaway and Sea Change Beachfront Apartments are the most popular ones.

  • What attractions should one visit when spending a month in Australia?

    A month gives you time for a proper adventure! Start with the east coast, exploring Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and the beaches of Byron Bay. Then, head north to explore the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. Next, fly across to the west coast and visit Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) in the heart of the Red Centre. Finish with a few days in Melbourne or Tasmania, depending on your interests.

  • Is Australia safe for solo travellers, including women?

    Generally, yes. Australia is considered a safe country for solo travellers, including women, although, as with any destination, it's wise to exercise normal precautions, particularly in unfamiliar areas at night. Be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.

  • What should one do if one loses their passport or documents in Australia?

    Immediately contact the nearest Australian Federal Police station and your embassy or consulate. You'll need to report the loss and begin the process of obtaining replacement documents. Keep copies of your passport and other important documents stored separately from the originals, ideally in a secure online location or with a trusted contact.
  • What seasonal celebrations make Australia special?

    Australia Day (26 January) is a major national celebration. Other notable events include the various state and local festivals throughout the year, such as the Royal Melbourne Show and Vivid Sydney, a festival of light, music and ideas.
