Unless you’ve been stuck in the 19th century, you’ll have heard that the NSW town of Bowral recently underwent a regency makeover – transforming into a real-life Bridgerton for one magical week. We’re talking manicured gardens, opulent ballrooms, lush croquet lawns and a handsome duke or two. 

While this fairytale won’t stick around forever, you can experience the magic of the hit Netflix show by staying at one of these enchanting Bridgerton-inspired Airbnbs in Australia.  

Prefer to stay in the city? These are the best luxury hotels in Australia right now.

This incredibly romantic, multi-storied castle gives the Featherington’s home a run for its money. With its stone spiral staircase, first-floor Juliet balcony, hedged courtyards, gothic arched doors and embellished stone baronial fireplace, it feels straight out of a fairy tale. The owners have furnished the castle with rare antiques and created a special booklet, Elements of Design, sharing stories of the treasures within. You can book this colonial country house in the Adelaide Hills for a minimum five-night stay, with two king bedrooms available for your royal retreat.

If you’re planning a getaway for the whole Bridgerton clan, look no further than this exquisite eight-bedroom estate on Sydney’s Central Coast. Elegant yet comfortable, the secluded property features two separate dwellings, connected via an indoor entertainment area. Parents can escape to the master bedroom (accessible by a private stairwell), unwind in the heated spa or pop a bottle in the wine room. Meanwhile, the kids can blow off steam with a game of tennis or billiards, followed by a dip in the heated indoor pool. You can reconnect at the end of the night with a screening of Bridgerton in the dedicated theatre room.
