Family-friendly holiday rentals in Melbourne

We had a great time in Melbourne. The apartment was well located and we were able to walk to all of the places and events that we wanted to see and do. There were restaurants and supermarkets nearby and the Yarra River and Southbank Entertainment Precinct were only two blocks away. The apartment was situated within walking distance of the free tram network.

We had such a lovely time at Veronika’s home. The house truly feels like a museum with various antiquates and relics from all across the world. My partner was mesmerised by all these artefacts, the library which contained a vast array of books and the tranquil courtyard annexed to the bedroom. Waking up to the gentle morning light that filters through the branches and looking into the mossy courtyard was quite surreal. I was also in love with the pool area/ courtyard, with pink leaves, and the surrounding hills and gorgeous natural scenery of the property. The house itself is of course simply spectacular. The large windows allow you to see the landscape from any angle and when the sun filters in - it is simply stunning. At night, it is equally as gorgeous as you can see the stars from the living area. We were lucky enough to chat with Veronika herself to learn about the history of the house. If you go for an early morning walk you’ll see kookaburras and kangaroos - they were adorable

Not much to add to all the other 5 star reviews! Helpful host..so great to find oil_herbs coffee pods and lots of other basics in the cupboard. Very comfy flat,short walk to beach and pier. no 12 tram into town takes a while but is so close and convenient we lived it!

A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

We had such a great stay at Tikali’s place. The apartment was spotless, stylish, and the building had great amenities (loved the pool!). The location couldn’t have been better; right near parks, which was perfect for our dog Buffy, and within easy walking distance to the city. It was the ideal base for our Melbourne trip, and Tikali was a responsive and thoughtful host. We really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again.

We had such a great time staying at Lauretta’s Airbnb! The area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. There were so many amazing sites and scenic hikes nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Lauretta was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed something. Her place had such a unique charm, from the decor to the overall vibe—it really added to the experience and made it feel special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy spot with character and access to nature. Thanks again, Lauretta!

The apartment was fantastic with incredible views and great access to Southbank restaurants and CBD. Colin was a excellent host. Very responsive, informative and accommodating. Will definitely stay again in the future!

this is a great apartment in a great convenient location, as described. the hosts were always responsive to any questions! thank you

If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

We loved our stay in Fitzroy, and were delighted with the house - which exceeded our expectations in many ways. It’s a brilliant location for all of Fitzroy and surrounding areas, with so many choices to eat, shop and the wonderful public pool right on the doorstep. Kali was incredibly helpful and allowed us a late check out which we were very grateful for!!

Katherine is excellent to deal with, very accommodating, friendly and always responsive. The property is very clean and tidy and has everything that we needed. Easy walking distance to Bridge Rd & Swan St and only a short walk to the MCG and City. Will definitely stay again next time we are in Melbourne.

We had a fantastic stay at this house! It was spacious, well laid out, and had everything we needed for our group of 7, including a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old. The location was ideal—close to public transport and a range of restaurants! Louise was great to deal with—friendly, responsive, and super helpful. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful location, really close to Albert Park little village of everything you need. Lovely place. Easy to get into. Tourist recommendations and even public transport cards! Couple of extremely hot days - the air conditioning was a god send. All in all a really lovely place and great experience.

Enjoyed our stay in Richmond. Erika & Chris’s place is a spacious, modern apartment down a quiet alleyway. Has all the amenities needed, and is within walkable distance to both West Richmond and North Richmond train stations, as well as nearby bus & tram stops.

Dalton's place was perfect. Spacious, clean, well equipped and decorated. The area was nice too, not too far from groceries and the beach (20 minutes away by bus). Highly recommend !

straight forward airbnb transaction, just the way I like it.

comfy place with an amazing location, many restaurants and shops in the surrounding areas. place also had everything we needed!

Nice and close to lots of restaurants, woolworths and bars. Walkable to the city also. Very clean and tidy place with modern fitout and great amenities. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Would happily stay again.

My three generational family spent a week in Julie's place for the F1 weekend. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The bedrooms were all spacious with loads of storage, the beds extremely comfortable, sheets crisp and white. A porta cot for my 4-month-old grandson was provided. The bathrooms were very clean and had all the amenities you could need, towels white and fluffy. The kitchen had absolutely everything you needed and then some. Even milk in the fridge. A spacious dining table that sat 8 plus a highchair for my 2-year-old granddaughter. The lounge area had more than enough room for the adults as well as a plentiful supply of toys for the grandies. The location was perfect, right in front of a tram stop and a few minutes' walk away from the Crown Casino and Southbank bars and restaurants. The hostess Julie was brilliant, replied to texts immediately and even accommodated our late check out at the last minute. I absolutely would go back again. The pool is great too.

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Great location, 300m from tram, 500m from train station. Clean, quiet, super comfy bed, toiletries were a nice touch which made the place feel more luxurious, outstanding communication - best I’ve ever had with an airbnb host. Great place to stay as a solo traveller or a couple.

We stayed for five nights, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is in a great location, walkable to the city, art gallery, convention centre, Southbank, parks, and trams. Nice views overlooking Southbank, Casino, and the city, from the living area as well as the bedrooms (one bedroom faces East, the other bedroom has more floor to ceiling windows and faces North and East). The thick windows/balcony door helped to minimise city noise (although you can still hear a little bit, which is to be expected when you are in a busy city). Air conditioning was quick to cool down the apartment. There is also a fan (and heater) in the bedrooms, which we didn’t use. Shower water pressure was sufficient. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were available for use Security in the building was great. Fob key to enter the building, and again for the elevator. Lobby area and elevators were always clean. Check in and check out was very easy with clear, detailed instructions (with photos)

Lovely flat with easy transportation. The tram station was right downstairs. The flat was clean and cozy with everything I need. Thanks!

Nice clean apartment. About 20-25 minutes walk from town. Nice coffee shop and restaurant downstairs. Bed was a bit on the firm side but worked out fine for us. Shower, toilet and sink separated by clear glass walls. Clean place.
