Australia's best holiday rentals

Stayz has announced the finalists in their annual holiday rentals awards - now you be the judge - by Home Beautiful

Australia's best holiday rentals
Stayz

With the holiday season almost upon us, we're dreaming of stunning faraway retreats to escape to. Just in time, Stayz has announced the finalists in their annual Holiday Rental Awards to whet our appetite.

Every year Stayz stages these awards in celebration of their range of incredible properties on offer all around the country. Places as far flung as Yallingup in Western Australia, all the way to Dover, Tasmania’s most southern town, with all the usual glamorous suspects such as Byron Bay and Port Douglas in between.

Some incredible properties are listed and we have to admit, feed our hunger for beautiful interior decoration, architecture and design – let alone the chance to put our feet up.

The announcement calls to action our own Katrina O’Brien, HBs associate editor to join the judge’s panel once again in the category of Interior Design. Though her position is enviable, it also signifies the opening of the People’s Choice award, where you can be the judge.

 Here’s a selection to inspire your next holiday…
