When you book with us, there are no surprise charges at checkout—just the price you see upfront. Travellarks is here offering fee-free bookings and supporting local hosts. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront retreat, a family-friendly property, or a luxury eco-stay, you can rest easy knowing you’re getting the best deal.
And because we know that finding the perfect stay can sometimes feel overwhelming, we also offer a personalized concierge service to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Whether you’re short on time, need a little extra guidance, and want recommendations based on your preferences, our team is here to help make your planning as easy as possible.
Forget the endless scrolling, take the stress off—you tell us what you want, relax, and we’ll handle the rest.

Why We’re Different: No Booking Fees Ever
Unlike other booking platforms that charge commission and service fees, Travellarks has eliminated all booking fees. That means you pay less if you don’t book through any other third party platform and more of your booking goes directly to the property owners. You get to enjoy amazing stays – stays with a wow factor, without the hidden fees that often make booking a hassle.
Extra Perks, Local Goodies, and More!
Our hosts are passionate about supporting local businesses, and when you book with Travellarks, you’re not only supporting independent property owners, but also contributing to the community. It’s a regional collaboration you won’t find with the big booking platforms.
When you book with Travellarks, you’re not just booking a place to stay—you’re connecting with hosts who go above and beyond to offer memorable experiences. Many of our hosts surprise guests with complimentary treats like craft beer, local wine, artisanal chocolates, handmade jams, or a fresh cheese board—all sourced from nearby businesses. It’s a little something extra that adds a personal touch to your stay and lets you dive deeper into the local community.

A Platform That Puts $$ Back Where It Belongs
Did you know that booking fees with major travel sites can be as high as 39%? That’s 39% of your hard-earned money going straight off-shore—while Australian owners lose thousands of dollars in profits. At Travellarks, we believe those dollars should stay in Australia. That’s why we’ve removed all booking, service, and commission fees. When you book with us, you’re not just getting a great place to stay—you’re helping support Australian hosts who keep 100% of their profits.
Save More, Enjoy More
Think about it—more of your hard-earned money stays where it belongs: in your wallet. The next time you’re looking for holiday accommodation, remember that with Travellarks, you can book with confidence—knowing that you’re saving money by avoiding booking fees. From retro beach houses to peaceful retreats in the bush, we’ve got a range of properties that will make your next trip unforgettable—and at a price that feels just right.
Instead of paying extra fees, you can spend that money on fun experiences, extra nights, or a bigger, better place to stay. It’s all about getting the most value for your money, so you can have the best holiday possible without the stress.

Our Partners Love It Too
Our hosts and owners are on board with this too! Many of our holiday property owners choose Travellarks because they appreciate our transparent, fee-free approach. It means more of their earnings stay in their pockets, which helps them reinvest in their properties and give you an even better experience. When you book, you’re not just supporting one business—you’re supporting a community of owners who care about creating great memories for their guests.

From Humble Beginnings to a National Movement
The story of Travellarks begins with two teachers and nurses, Kris and Therese, who decided to take a leap outside their comfort zones. After seeing the devastation caused by bushfires, COVID, and floods, they wanted to create a platform that would help make a positive economic and social impact on local, regional, and remote communities across Australia. And that’s how Travellarks was born.
What started as a small idea has now grown into a national success—spanning across NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and even Bruny Island. The mission remains the same: to connect you with out-of-the-ordinary, brilliant, generous hosts who offer a WOW experience—no booking fees and no hidden costs.

We Only List the WOW
At Travellarks, we don’t just list any property—we select only those stays with a WOW factor for all budgets.

Our mission is to make sure that every stay leaves you feeling the generous spirit of our Nation.
