Cottage holiday rentals in Melbourne

Above and beyond. Great place, beautiful surroundings (some spectacular garden surprises nearby) and welcoming extra’s- thanks for the fresh bread and groceries!!! The family did not want to leave. Till next time…

We had the most wonderful stay at Mr. Brett’s Airbnb! The place was absolutely stunning – peaceful, idyllic, and full of character. Every corner of the home felt special and unique, making it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Mr. Brett himself was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, while also giving us the privacy to truly unwind and enjoy the space. His warm hospitality really made the experience that much more special. We are already planning our next visit and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a host who truly cares!

Our stay at this treetop house was absolutely wonderful! The property was impeccably maintained with all the amenities we could need. The spa was a definite highlight - clean with perfectly hot water that was incredibly soothing after exploring the area. Alan was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay, which we greatly appreciated. The self check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, making our arrival a breeze. The location couldn't have been better, with shops and charming cafes within easy walking distance, yet still very private and peaceful. We loved being able to stroll into town whenever we wanted. Overall, this was a fantastic spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home!

Absolutely beautiful place can’t wait to come back and stay again

Thank you Penny. What a lovely cottage. It was great for our family who attended a wedding at Mount Dandenong. It was private, functional and cosey. Well furbished and had everything we needed. Loved the private back yard. We will come back one day.

Mindy’s place was beautifully presented in a quiet location. Bathrooms were spotless and rest of the house was just as clean. The views were stunning and incredibly peaceful. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks again.

The Observatory Cottages at the top of Mt Dandenong has been the place to stay in the ranges for years, and with good reason! We last visited Ironbark cottage 20 years ago and we loved it this time as we did two decades ago. It’s extremely cosy and private and you can easily spend a whole weekend at the cottage without leaving! The spa and gas log fire place are highlights, adding to the warm and cozy vibe. Penny leaves great provisions for a cooked breakfast for two mornings and there’s a kitchen if you feel like staying in. She has great communication and is very responsive if you need her for anything. A beautiful choice for a weekend of R&R. Highly recommended.

Lavender Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Lovingly built by Brett, and fitted out with the most wonderful olde worlde decor and furniture. Brett thought of everything, with lovely touches like fresh orange juice and eggs, and a nice selection of teas.

A beautiful haven nestled in the stunning greenery. My family and I enjoyed a gorgeous couple of nights here in the lead up to my wedding, it was the perfect place to unwind and relax. The interior was jaw dropping, attention to detail was not overlooked here. Everything was spotless and the hosts were the best I’ve encountered so far. Can’t wait to stay here again, just to feel like I’ve gotten away from the madness of the city.

Great place to stay. Secure - a little haven in the middle of pubs and restaurants and Albert Park. Tram to the city is really convenient and going the other way gets you to the beach. What more could you want?

It was a wonderful place to spend the night with family. More than ample space to host a lovely family dinner and board games afterwards. The fireplace made it all the more cosy.

I have stayed at Thackeray many times. it's the perfect location on the beach.. great bike rides... easy to park... close to everything and Alyce is continually upgrading equipment in her home so everything works! highly recommended. a unique place with beautiful character.

Jess was really helpful and accommodating. House was wonderful, really clean and well looked after. Really happy with our stay

Matilda’s Cottage was a perfect little spot that catered two nights before our wedding and our wedding night. While we are local, I highly reccomend utilising this cosy quiet accommodation. You are not far from gisborne vineyards and town centre and a short drive up the freeway into the Macedon ranges. Take a short drive continuing up benson rd you’ll grab a nice view of the valley. Thanks for having us!

Host was incredibly responsive and very helpful. Place was well put together and had everything you could need. Beds were comfortable and spacious.

amazing home away from the city. we appreciated the small gestures such as ensuring we had brekkie and the toys were great for our Lil man and the dog bed and toys too for our Lil fur child too! very communicative and easy to contact thank!

craig and Donna are wonderful hosts, made us feel at home, could not be more helpful. Beautiful location and accommodation close to everything but felt wonderfully remote. George their Labrador was fabulous and super friendly and obedient. we are world travelers and this was the best bnb we have ever stayed in. Awesome 2 weeks. Definitely booking again.

This phenomenal cottage was one of if not THE best cottage stay I’ve ever had in my many years on Airbnb. Staying here felt like such a wonderful dream with all of the small details and private outdoor space to lounge around in. If you’re looking for the perfect getaway stay look no further, this is the one! Pete was also just the best host ever and made us feel right at home. Again just cannot recommend this place enough, 11/10 stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Sunny Blue Cottage for two months. The house was exactly as described - beautiful, with a cozy fireplace that made chilly evenings so enjoyable. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, the bedroom comfortable with cozy linen and extra fans and ac for warmer days. Overall, everything you could think of for a long-term stay was available and made our stay most convenient. The neighborhood was incredibly peaceful, and we felt welcomed by the friendly neighbors. Plus, having the South Melbourne just a short walk away is perfect for little lunch breaks or weekend shopping. But what truly made our stay exceptional were the hosts. They were warm, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. From providing guidance about the area to helping us settle in for our new adventure in Melbourne, they truly made us feel at home. Thank you so much for a memorable stay ♥️ Vanessa & Scott

Great place to check out surrounding sights. comfortable and cosy. Great host. Certainly would book again.

Awesome stay just outside of central Melbourne. The ‘East Wing’ was just as described and suited all of our needs. Lovely and clean and all of the amenities you would need for a stay, we felt right at home. Catherine was a fantastic host who helped us with all of our questions and let us say hello to her very friendly greyhound. 10 minute walk to Spotswood station and 15/20 minute train ride gets you into central. Catherine kindly left out some Myki cards to help out with the transport. Thanks so much! Will recommend to anyone wanting to explore Melbourne

Easy to find and great location for what we needed. Very private and in a great neighbourhood. Very safe. would definitely recommend

Sulochi’s place was super beautiful and cosy, surrounded by a beautiful garden and lovely patch of views of the hills, beds were firm and comfortable and the sheets were amazing! Loved the little room in the back with tarot cards and beautiful flowers. Such a cosy wonderful stay, super grateful to have been able to experience! Thanks Sulochi :)

Highly recommend this place! It’s in such beautiful surroundings and it felt extremely cosy and peaceful. Everything was lovely and clean, continental breaky was great, and the hosts were very friendly - would 100% stay here again.
