From the Top End to tropical North Queensland, from Bondi to the Barossa, from Melbourne to the mighty Murray River... We're on the hunt for Australia's absolute best ‘Instant Hotel'!

Tapping into the worldwide trend of homeowners renting out their homes as holiday accommodation, Instant Hotel will see 10 teams of two competing for the title of Best Instant Hotel.
