Find the best weekend getaway rentals

Weekend getaway rentals are the best solution if you're looking for a quick holiday experience that doesn't require a lot of planning. Whether you don't want to spend that much time away or you're planning at the last minute, these holidays let you pack loads of fun into a quick yet memorable experience. Take a look at what goes into finding the best weekend getaway rentals.

Benefits of weekend getaway rentals

When you're booking a weekend holiday excursion, you'll need to find a rental that's suitable for the kind of experience you're going for. Fortunately, you won't have to look far, as weekend getaway rentals come in many different shapes and sizes. You can book houses, condos, apartments, cottages, cabins and much more depending on the kind of experience you want. You can even choose based on how luxurious or budget-friendly you want your holiday to be.

One of the best aspects of weekend getaway rentals is that they're often available for a last-minute booking. While a holiday is often easier if you plan far in advance, you don't necessarily have to if you're staying relatively close to home and you're only staying for a weekend. Some rentals are geared towards weekend getaways, so booking them at the last minute is fairly common.

Explore cheap weekend breaks

Weekend breaks can be one of the most affordable ways to travel. You don't have to pay for and coordinate very much travel, and you don't have to take as much time off work as you would otherwise. Even so, you'll want to check out rentals for cheap weekend breaks if you want to save as much as possible. Quite a few budget-friendly rentals are available throughout the country and beyond, so you can find fun by the beach, in the city or wherever else you're trying to go without breaking the bank.

While you'll find plenty to enjoy in cheap weekend break rentals, there are a few factors to keep in mind. On average, these rentals tend to be smaller than their more luxurious counterparts and include fewer features and more distance from popular attractions. Even so, you can find desirable amenities like unlimited WiFi and central air con in many budget rentals. Additionally, cheaper rentals can still be quite spacious and offer enough room to bring the whole family along.

Book romantic weekend getaways

There's something inherently romantic about spontaneity, and nothing offers that kind of experience quite like weekend getaways. When you book romantic weekend getaways, you and your partner can enjoy an unforgettable experience that gives you everything you need for a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Plus, romantic rentals can have quite a few extras you won't want to miss out on.

Romantic weekend getaways can offer several amenities that create the perfect romantic experience. A weekend away with a hot tub is especially popular with couples who are looking to let their daily concerns melt away. Weekend rentals are also available in a wide variety of destinations, so you and your partner can travel to the city, to the beach or to virtually anywhere else you can imagine, even if you're spontaneously booking at the last minute.

Discover family weekend getaways

Travelling with the whole family can involve a lot of planning across different schedules, so a weekend away is a great way to spend quality time together with minimal complications. For some great family-friendly weekend getaways, you may want to consider Cairns, or Rottnest Island,

Family-friendly weekend rentals tend to have amenities designed to make a family holiday as easy as possible. You'll find plenty of space within, allowing everyone to sleep comfortably with relative privacy, but that's just the beginning. You'll also likely find plenty of seating in large living rooms, allowing everyone to spend time together at once. Plus, families with kids can enjoy games and amenities like pools, ideal for keeping the little ones happy.
