Looking for a place to stay that’s not your typical hotel room? A holiday rental might just be the perfect fit! A holiday rental is a furnished living unit, such as a house or apartment, that can be rented out to travellers as short-term accommodation. Sure, you might miss out on room service or daily housekeeping, but the perks more than make up for it. Imagine having way more space to spread out, plus extra privacy—no noisy neighbours in the next room! And let’s not forget the lower prices, which means more cash for exploring or treating yourself. Holiday rentals often pop up in charming, less touristy spots, and they can even be pet-friendly. So, if you’ve got a furry friend tagging along, they’ll feel just as welcome.


How do I find the right holiday rental for me?

First things first, you’ll want to decide where you want to stay. Looking for somewhere close to home? Aussie capital cities such as Sydney, Melbourne and Perth are always popular holiday spots, and you’re sure to find a wide variety of private holiday rentals in these places. If you’re feeling more adventurous and want to travel overseas, that’s not a problem! Wotif can help you find holiday rentals around the world, from Indonesia and New Zealand to the UK and the USA.

What types of holiday rentals are there?

You’ll find holiday rentals of every flavour on Wotif. Get settled in a holiday home, apartment or aparthotel. Treat yourself to a stay in a luxury villa, or recreate the childhood holidays of yesteryear and book a spot in a caravan park. In need of a cosy escape? Check out our range of chalets, cottages and cabins. Or why not try something completely different and holiday in a houseboat.

How do I find cheap holiday rentals?

Finding a cheap holiday rental is a breeze with Wotif. Check out our travel deals or sign up for our Mates Rates to score lower prices on thousands of properties. If you already know when and where you want to stay, sort your search results by ‘price (low to high)’ and set a maximum price in filters. If you just need a break, and don’t care where, consider visiting locations in their off-season for cheaper accommodation: try summer in Brisbane or winter on the Sunshine Coast.

What if I need to change or cancel my holiday rental booking?

If your plans change, no worries! Wotif makes it easy to change or cancel your holiday rental. Simply go to your itinerary to find the property manager’s contact details; they’ll help you out. While Wotif won’t charge you a cancellation fee, the accommodation provider might, so check their policies before you book.  

How long can you stay in a holiday rental?

Whether you’re after a quick getaway or in need of a week (or several!) to relax, you’ll find the perfect holiday accommodation to suit your length of stay. With Wotif, you can book your holiday rental for as little as just one night or as long as up to 28 days.
