Many of these landmark buildings have been painstakingly restored by their owners to create places of unique character and charm.
Some-one who knows about the growing demand from travellers for properties with a story to tell is Alison Vassallo.
Alison, who admits to being passionate about Australia's built heritage, created Historic Stays to showcase a special collection of exceptional accommodation offerings across Australia and New Zealand.
The properties have been handpicked for their original period detail, along with the high standard of accommodation and experiences they offer.
"For many of us, there's something magical about homes rich in history and character," Alison said.
"The timeless beauty of cast iron lacework, flagstone floors, handmade red bricks each unique in colour and texture, or rough-hewn golden sandstone.
"Old staircases worn in the middle from countless footsteps and intricate, colourful stained-glass windows and doors."
Established for just over a year Historic Stays, Australia and New Zealand's first, and only, online platform of curated historic and heritage-listed places, already represents over 150 premium properties including rustic miner's cottages, beautifully restored country homesteads, and grand heritage-listed estates.
