Most wishlisted unique Airbnb stays in Australia revealed

Whether it’s a farmhouse, yurt, or tiny home, new research from Airbnb has revealed Aussies are craving unique getaways, and even if they can't travel at the moment planning for that next trip is definitely underway.

Specifically, unique home searches have nearly doubled (up 94 percent) since the start of the pandemic, with one third of Australia’s 100 most wish-listed listings on Airbnb being considered unique stays (including a tram and a treehouse).

In the first three months of 2021, searches by Aussies for yurts increased by 80 percent (compared to the last three months of 2020). Demand for tiny homes increased by 76 percent, while interest in farm stays is also booming with searches up by 66 percent.
