Family-friendly holiday rentals in South-East Melbourne

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean, great appliances. As described. Thank you

Glenys and Geoff were amazing hosts who provided extensive knowledge on the history and landmarks of Queenscliff. Their place was spotless, cozy and welcoming. Glenys provided a generous continental breakfast. The hot tub was an amazing touch and very private. Would definitely recommend the stay to anyone considering. :)

The place was perfect for my daughters and I. Great value especially in the height of summer. Thank you!!!!!

Had a great stay at Carolyn’s suite. Everything was lovely and exactly what we needed.

Marisa was really helpful and.easy to deal with. the house was perfect for two families, with enough space for.kids and adults alike. it's hard to tell from the pics but it's bigger than we had imagined! definitely recommend for families looking for an affordable summer spot on the peninsula that makes you feel at home :)

Gingers on the Hills is more than just a beautiful getaway. It’s a heartfelt home away fr home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another holiday rental. Every space is filled with warmth & personal touches that reflect the owner's care & love. The cozy ambiance, breathtaking views, and unmatched hospitality made it the most memorable Airbnb our family ever stayed in. The attention to detail was truly exceptional. Everything we could possibly need & more, was thoughtfully provided, plush linens, organic teas, beautifully curated home decor and nostalgic touches like the vinyl and CD player with a perfect music selection. The generous welcome pack went above and beyond expectations, we felt like we were visiting a dear friend rather than staying at a rental. Kylie & team are incredibly kind & attentive, ensuring that every guest, adult or child, feels cared for. Their thoughtfulness made our stay deeply meaningful. We left with full hearts & will surely return.

Lovely unit! Very clean. Perfect location, short walk to the beach. Only downfall was, there was no air conditioning so the house was like a Sauna. There were no ceiling fans either. Would definitely book regularly if there was air conditioning.

We had a wonderful day. It was very relaxing. The house was amazing very private and close to all amenities that we needed. Highly recommend this little Home away from home.

Beautiful and peaceful location. Cute place for a short stay. Great spot!

Great place to stay, easy walk into town. Photos matched the pictures and very clean house. Would recommend.

We had a lovely long weekend at Mignon’s place. Very peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of Cowes. We enjoyed walks along the beach and watched movies. Thanks Mignon

Amazing location, easy walk to the beach, close to both Cowes and the Penguin Parade. Exactly as described and host was very responsive.

Great house in a quiet location. Heather is a great host and is easy to contact with questions. The house looks the same as the photos. Lots of extras inside for a good place to stay. Recommend.

Our 5th time staying. We love our 7-10 min walk to beach, 7-10 min walk to playground and local cafes/grocery. Private yard, everything we need, very responsive hosts.

Jane’s Blue House was a pleasure to stay at. Comfortable beds and good shower! I hope to be back next time with my 4 legged friends as I had to leave them behind for this trip.

Such a lovely home. Walkable to local shops, beautiful backyard for kids and hanging out. We loved the house. Very retro vibes and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We travelled with our two young kids and Stew’s place was the perfect retreat. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Stew was friendly and gave us some great tips of things to do, see and eat around the area. The cottage was also very clean and comfortable - we would certainly stay again!

A great place to stay in Melbourne - close to the city centre (restaurants, the river) but also easy to walk to South Melbourne (market, parks, seaside). Spacious and well-appointed apartment with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Alix and Taj were great communicators with plenty of relevant information before and during our stay.

James and Michelle are great hosts who have been very friendly, both from chat messages to in person conversations. The cottage itself was beautifully designed and has everything you need for a comfortable fuss-free stay. Waking up to a flock of sheep just outside your window is a very interesting and healing experience, especially for city dwellers. The host James also kindly offered to bring our elder daughter on his daily morning touring of animal feeding, and it was one of her most memorable experiences of the trip! There is also the sheepdog Zeus who is indeed a friendly giant. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area!

An excellent way to experience Melbourne's vibrant CityLife and stunning views — highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Kelli’s. Her home was immaculate with all the amenities to make our stay even more enjoyable. Kelli was extremely responsive and one of the nicest hosts we’ve ever dealt with. I’d thoroughly recommend staying here.

this house was amazing for our three active families! there was a pool, table tennis, futsal, air hockey and then in the extended back yard a play ground, sand pit, cricket pitch, soccer, footy, tennis and an aquatic centre. A short drive we had the beach! too much to do and too little time. The loving and dining spaces were top notch. We loved this house!

Stunning and peaceful place

From the moment we stepped through the front door, we knew we booked the right place! Such a beautiful home with stunning views and access to the health club is an absolute bonus! We enjoyed every minute! Thanks Kris.
