There’s no denying that the South West region of WA has an endless list of things to offer—whether it’s for a cozy winter getaway, a food-filled fiesta with your friends, or a chilled out surfing vacay, there’s something for everyone. But why slum it in a campsite or cheap Airbnb every single time when you can live it up in complete luxury? 

And for luxe holiday rentals in the South West, are the real deal. They work directly with owners of only the most luxe homes, which would normally not be available to the public, and provide quality end-to-end service for guests using the platform. 

Little disclaimer: these are the creme de la creme of holiday homes, so they're not cheap but don’t let the price tags scare you away. If you round up enough mates or rope in the whole extended family, it's actually not too bad. Plus, you've gotta put that untapped international travel fund to use somewhere, right?

Without further ado, here are ten of the most beautiful holiday homes in the South West, designed to keep you and your fam feeling fancy.

Eagle Bay

Perfect for a big group of friends or a couple of families wanting a cosy and classy getaway, get in quick—this is booking out fast.View from the Serene Shores residence
