It seems that everywhere you turn these days someone is talking about Airbnb.

I guess the prospect of turning your spare room into a cash cow has really caught people’s attention, and although the national average earned from Airbnb is quite low (HERE) some people are definitely coining it.

Of course some listings will be more sought after than others, Airbnb releasing their top 10 list earlier this year, and we’ll run through the top five with the help of Domain:

5. Tuscan treehouse – Monferrato, Italy

Airbnb users are crazy for this tree house overlooking the hills in wine-country, San Salvatore Monferrato, Italy.  Fun fact: the house comes with an old wine cellar that dates back hundreds of years, and is still stocked with barrels and the ancient press.

4. Unique cob cottage – Mayne Island, Canada

Built entirely of natural materials, this cottage on Mayne Island, British Columbia, is a rural retreat. A 20-minute walk from the beach, Airbnb guests say it is like staying inside a sculpture and rave about the fresh eggs and taste of farm life the mini escape provides.

3. Modern glass tree house – Florence, Italy

Less than 30-minutes from the famous Duomo, this tree house, offers a unique way to experience Tuscany. It is situated on an Italian family’s compound, and they’re more than happy to share their kitchen garden and tennis court with guests.

2. The seashell house – Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Designed as a pair of seashells, this peculiar listing carries the theme both inside and out. Everything from the shower heads to the headboards are crafted out of shells. The property comes with its own pool and there’s also a nearby beach to enjoy.

1. Secluded in-town tree house – Atlanta, USA

Taking out the number one spot is this dreamy tree house destination where guests can live out their fairytale fantasies, vacancy depending. Consisting of three little tree houses connected by rope bridges and hung with fairy lights, this rustic property has romantic vibes and rave reviews.

I’m not going to say no to any of those, but what about something a little closer to home?

If you happen to be visiting the Mother City we know of a rather top notch spot too, dubbed the ‘Magnificent Ville du Cap‘.

Sleeps four, talk about getting bang for your buck. That’s not to mention the free bottle of wine on arrival, Nespresso, Bose bluetooth sound, Charlotte Rhys toiletries, Wi-Fi, Netflix and all the other creature comforts that make it feel like home.

Happy travelling everyone, be sure to post a million photos to Facebook so everyone else can enjoy the ride.
