Holiday in a Country House

In a country house, the name says it all: country houses are small homes located in the countryside or in a rural setting. They are usually detached residences, surrounded by a garden. Country houses are a popular holiday rental choice for travellers seeking relaxation, who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The Ideal Guests for a Country House Holiday

A country house is a popular type of accommodation for couples and families who long for individuality, freedom, and tranquillity in nature during their holiday, without sacrificing comfort. Lovingly furnished, a country house typically offers everything that holidaymakers expect - from the fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and microwave to a garden with a terrace and barbecue area.

Besides young and young-at-heart couples who appreciate the romantic solitude in nature, self-caterers, and holidaymakers with a dog, families with children feel especially comfortable in a country house. And if the weather does not cooperate, a country house with a cosy seating area in the charmingly furnished living room provides plenty of space for family games or for friends who want to spend a holiday in groups of three or four.

Find Your Dream Country House in the Blue Mountains

If you long for nature, peace, bushwalking in the summer, and the crisp mountain air, then a holiday in a country house on the edge of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales is ideal. In the vicinity of these houses, you can find everything from modern amenities to rustic charm, and the surrounding area offers well-marked hiking trails, breathtaking vistas, and a diverse range of outdoor activities.

Another beautiful destination is Daylesford in Victoria. Daylesford is a renowned spa town and is located in the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, offering a plethora of activities for hikers, relaxation seekers, and nature lovers.

Country House Holidays in the Australian Bush

No mountains, but plenty of flat land with a view to the horizon, along with lakes, rivers, and quaint little towns - that's what a country house holiday in the Australian bush promises.

For example, consider the Margaret River region in Western Australia, where you can rent a country house right next to vineyards and with easy access to the beautiful shores of the Indian Ocean. Or explore the heartland along the Murray River in South Australia, a popular route that passes through charming small towns and scenic countryside.

Rent a Country House and Explore Nature

If you opt for a country house holiday and want to explore the natural surroundings at your destination, then you should bring your bicycle for short and long bike tours and sturdy footwear for extensive bushwalks. Regardless of whether you reserve a luxurious lakeside country house with its own jetty for yourself and your loved ones or rent a small country house where you can spend the most beautiful time of the year together, it is worth exploring the surrounding nature.

For instance, in the Yarra Valley near the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, you can not only cycle and hike wonderfully but also engage in bird watching or stargazing due to the low light pollution. In the Top End, Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory offers a tranquil setting with breathtaking views of wetlands, and an array of outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching. After a long day in nature, it’s comforting to know you can relax undisturbed. In your cosy country house, you'll find the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.
