Most people live on the coast, but farther inland you\u2019ll find mountains, plains and forests that make for an enjoyable holiday location with a plethora of potential unforgettable experiences. While there are many ways to enjoy these kinds of experiences, booking a country cottage might be one of the best. This small and quaint type of accommodation is notably modest and tends to be in touch with the surrounding environments. The glamour and grandeur of a big city fade far out of sight, and you\u2019re left with peaceful accommodation that truly lets you relax. While modest, the best cottages still come with modern amenities and all the comforts of home for a relaxing holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you can expect from\u00a0<a name=\"cottage_rentals\">cottage rentals<\/a>\u00a0in Australia<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Booking a cottage house virtually anywhere in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookabach.co.nz\/d\/cottages\/11278\/australia\">Australian<\/a>\u00a0countryside comes with a long list of benefits. Cottage rentals tend to be isolated, so you won\u2019t have to worry about crowds or city noise, while shops and restaurants are never too far away. The key to a quality cottage is finding the middle ground between escapism and convenience culminating in the ultimate holiday experience. Cottages may be relatively small, but there are some larger options available with multiple bedrooms suitable for holidays involving the whole family. Keep an eye out for self-catering kitchens as well so you can enjoy home-cooked meals if you don\u2019t feel like heading to the nearest restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booking a cottage by the sea in\u00a0<a name=\"Seventeen_Seventy\">Seventeen Seventy<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in a coastal holiday experience, consider the town of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookabach.co.nz\/d\/cottages\/47998\/seventeen-seventy\">Seventeen Seventy<\/a>. Named after the year of James Cook\u2019s arrival, this hidden gem in Queensland offers beachfront activities suitable for the whole family. Seventeen Seventy is located on a small peninsula, and each side has a different kind of shore. With beaches on both the east and west sides of town, you can enjoy both beachfront sunrises and sunsets. You can book a cottage by the sea on the eastern side to enjoy waves perfect for surfing. The western side of the peninsula is notably calmer as it isn\u2019t directly open to the Pacific, so children and adults looking to relax can enjoy swimming. Cottages in the area tend to be located close to the shore, so fun on the beach is just a few steps away. Some even have balconies and large windows that allow you to take in the scenic view whether you\u2019re facing east or west.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/1nV3R2wt3dssUYGaCyQr5k\/eb68f2b0a7d3971f33cc67eaa51aea18\/photo-1504418427601-f32ff56b2c4e.jpg\" alt=\"Beachfront cottage in Sydney with blue siding, white shutters, flower boxes and a stone foundation with small boats\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finding cottages for rent near\u00a0<a name=\"Daintree_Rainforest\">Daintree Rainforest<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>One of the most iconic areas in Australia is the expansive 1,200-square-kilometre\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookabach.co.nz\/d\/cottages\/633039\/daintree-rainforest\">Daintree Rainforest<\/a>.
