Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Australasia

What a beautiful little slice of the yarra valley. The heating was very efficient, it was icy overnight and we had no idea. We woke to kangaroos outside the window each morning. The caretakers lodge was much closer to the accommodation than I expected, however they were very helpful and friendly and I didn't see them apart from when I checked in. The house is stunning. The view from the huge windows is lovely. It felt very luxurious and was a lovely place to stay after getting married. I would absolutely recommend Kangaroo Manor to others, and I'd love the opportunity to stay there again one day. The hosts were very proactive, kind, and professional, and gave me the impression that I could contact them at any time. Thank you for a very memorable experience.

We had the most wonderful stay at Nigel and Denise’s place. The views were absolutely breathtaking – waking up to the ever-changing water and skies was pure magic. The house was thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the cozy living areas, and the luxurious bathrooms with spectacular views. Everything was exactly as described – or even better! Thank you for creating such a peaceful and beautiful retreat. It was the perfect base for our Tasmanian adventure. We would absolutely love to return someday!

The bush setting , the water views, the design and fit out are all top notch . Private and tranquil . We appreciated the expresso coffee machine ( and local beans in generous supply ) and other welcoming touches . Everything has been thought of in this immaculately presented house . Loved watching the light change as the sun went down . Thank you Jennifer and team .

Thanks Rachel and Bianca for a great stay in your beautiful home. The house was the perfect size for the two of us and we loved the amenities - particularly the loft bed! Was very impressed by the furnishings. The Myki cards were great too and tram instructions easy to follow. Would highly recommend to others, and we hope to be back soon. Tammy & Jarrad, Auckland NZ

The Lighthouse was a beautiful place for my parents to stay. They particularly loved the record collection, and as always the incredible views and location so near the beach was perfect. Our family will definitely be staying again!

This villa was perfect for our stay in Ubud! Peaceful and quiet but still close to the action. The private pool was a godsend on hot Ubud days. Kadek was a really helpful, friendly host: he arranged early check-in for us, transported our suitcase to the villa and sorted a scooter rental for our stay. He also provided super useful extras like plenty of insect repellant and emergency phone numbers. The villa is just off a strip of restaurants, so food is never far away, and it’s only a half an hour walk to central Ubud. We’d happily recommend this place to any couple!

Our trip to the Blue Mountains for the UTMB Ultra Marathon was made extra lovely by the wonderful stay we had at Dinesh's place. This home is extremely well set up, and had everything we needed for a really comfortable stay. The view from the back yard (the hot tub especially!) was just spectacular. The three bedrooms were all nicely sized, and having two full bathrooms was great. Our hosts also provided a range of really helpful suggestions for local restaurants, etc. - which were greatly appreciated! We loved our stay in this wonderful house, and really appreciated the thoughtful hospitality. We'd absolutely stay with Dinesh again.

This was one of my favourite places to stay! Although it was a brief stay, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The place was spotless to the tea. Everything was exactly as described in the photos. Thank you so much for hosting us, and we look forward to staying at Tathra again :)

great place, they owner was very responsive and communicative. i would recommend

My partner and I stayed for the weekend and had such a fabulous time. The apartment was spotless and in a perfect location right next to brunswick street. Definitely recommend staying here!

Kerri and Alan were extremely kind and welcoming. The place was beautiful so clean and tidy. Alan was very kind to let me know of a playground nearby to take my son. Would definitely go again

Great host Lauri was very responsive and helpful. The flat was perfect for what we needed, location was just off the main road so easy access to everything. Would 100% stay again.

Amazing view of the blue mountains from the deck and the kitchen. Lovely home and spacious. Peaceful area located on the second floor of the house. Just have to take note that you will have to carry your luggage up/down (no lifts). And there’s only one toilet. Very responsive to queries to put your mind at ease.

Sarah’s place is a good find. Conveniently located near downtown Melbourne. She was very responsive. Incredible views of downtown Melbourne from her place. You have to pick up the key from a local grocery store (which worked fine) and there is only one key, but overall the stay was great. Excellent swimming pool and gym. Recommend staying here! Good value!

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. So close to everything, big space and a beautiful view! The stairs to get to the apartment were quickly forgotten when we walked in. Beautiful place and very kind and generous hosts!

Great short stay, easy check in and communication. Perfect location, views were amazing.

Deb’s place was absolutely amazing! Every thoughtful detail was taken care of, and we truly wanted for nothing during our stay. It’s no surprise that her property ranks in the top 1% of Airbnb listings, it certainly deserves the accolade. From the seamless check-in process to the warm welcome of freshly baked bread, a bottle of wine, and delicious chocolates on arrival, everything was perfect. The space itself was beautifully presented, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable, with every amenity you could hope for thoughtfully provided. Deb’s attention to detail and genuine care for her guests really shines through. We felt completely at home and incredibly well looked after. We would absolutely return in a heartbeat and highly recommend this exceptional property to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay.

An amazing location and spot, the hosts were attentive and the room was spotless and adorably homely! Not to mention the amazing views, sad we didn’t book for longer! Definitely will be back next time.

Great apartment for a weekend in Melbourne! Very spacious and spectacular views. Aster was a great host

Andrew’s apartment is amazing, and a great find. It is furnished modern and extremely clean, and has lots thoughtful extras in the kitchen and bathrooms. Any communications we had with Andrew were responded by him promptly. The location is quiet, yet very close to amenities. We would highly recommend this property, and certainly will look to rebook when we are back in Cairns.

Julie’s cosy apartment was just perfect for a Tassie winter break. Beautiful linen, soft,comfortable lounges and a warm fireplace made everything so inviting. I would highly recommend staying here. Thankyou for having us . Di and Pete

Jordan’s apartment is modern and cosy and well-equipped with the amenities we needed (apartment has washer, dryer, iron, microwave, etc.). We felt right at home and had a restful stay. Jordan was very helpful and clear with her instructions. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. 🌟

Excellent location with breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming host. Peter greeted us personally on arrival and was very flexible with both check-in and check-out timings, which made our stay even more convenient. The apartment was clean, exactly as pictured, and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and major Melbourne attractions. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back again. It was so clean, had everything we needed and more, bed and pillows were very comfortable. It’s in a great location so easy to walk to anywhere you need to get to in Port Douglas. Checking in and out was so easy and Liz and Paul were always quick to respond. Just be careful of the midges when sitting outside we didn’t have cream on and got eaten alive.
