It’s no secret at Sitchu that we love our glam stays in luxe hotels but there are also times that call for something a bit more intimate or that feels a little more like home – only better! This is especially true if you’re going to be staying more than just a few days.  

So, if you’re looking for unique holiday property options within driving (or walking) distance of Perth, we’ve searched the south of the state high and low to bring you our pick of short-terms stays & Airbnbs in Perth and surrounds.
