Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Australia

Excellent. Stunning location and house. Many thanks. Hope to return some day

A beautiful house which really makes the most of the ocean views. We really enjoyed the design of this house with great natural light and versatile spaces. Despite having a very cold snap with the weather, the house was quick to warm and remained warm when the heating was off. Great location with easy car access to Philip Island and surrounds, but otherwise very peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

This little peace of heaven was perfect for our family to celebrate my 40th birthday. From the moment we walked in the front gate to see the house amongst the gum trees and then the waterfall from the bedroom. We felt like we stepped into an old fairytale world with our own treehouse. Everywhere we walked felt like little fairy’s were waiting to greet us. The ferns throughout and stepping stones between each area made for the best adventures. The kids loved watching the frogs and tadpoles in the back pool. The natural pool was incredible and soul nourishing. Our first experience with a natural pool and it was breathtaking, especially being able to swim under the waterfalls. Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to return sometime Soon.

Just the most fabulous stay - better than the pictures. We were so comfortable, we couldn't have wanted for anything, Samara had it! Designed like Pinterest pics, so cozy with the fire pits and great communication with hosts. Thanks Samara!!

We had an amazing time with Bob, Shirley, and Jenny. They were so friendly and made us feel like we had known them for ages. We loved the tour around the farm in Bob’s Model T and got lots of great pictures with the alpacas. The retreat is about 15 minutes from both Castlemaine and Bendigo, making it a perfect home base for when you’re in the area.

Absolutely loved our stay. The home is neat and tidy. The sauna and bath was awesome and was the highlight of the stay.

We loved our stay here! The view is even better than the photos, with gorgeous countryside all around. It's a quiet, peaceful, and private spot. You’ll need a car though, since it’s in a rural area. The apartment was clean and well stocked. We appreciated the quality sheets, pillows, and towels, and the bed was comfy. We both slept well. The space felt roomy for two, which made it easy to relax. The kitchen was stocked with thoughtful basics like bread and eggs, which was a nice touch. Check-in was smooth and the instructions were clear. A couple of small downsides: the internet was hit or miss. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow to load a basic webpage. The washer/dryer wasn’t working, which was inconvenient. There was a sign offering a pick-up and drop-off laundry service, but we didn’t use it since we prefer to do our own washing (my wife has certain items that need to air dry). Even so, we had a great time and would happily recommend this Airbnb. A lovely, quiet place to unwind.

Wonderful hosts and amenities and beautiful peaceful surrounds. Christine and Jamie were great hosts and provided additional fire wood to ensure we stayed warm through our stay. They had the fire going before we arrived on a very cold day which was greatly appreciated. Our dogs had a wonderful time too. Would love to return again!

We had a wonderful stay at Kevin's place! the host was very responsive and the space was really clean. Overall, the stay was great and we enjoyed our time there.

The perfect place to stay for our visit to Sydney. It was super easy to get around. The space was perfect and allowed us to eat in when we wanted to. Comfortable for the two of us.

Very nice stay & Arlene great host who leaves you to it after local recommendations. Would definitely stay again.

I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Helen's place! It was everything I needed and more. Helen’s kindness and thoughtfulness truly made me feel right at home. From the delicious treats she provided to having access to all TV streaming services, every detail was carefully considered to ensure my stay was perfect.

Kerri and Alan were great hosts. Place was tidy and clean and as described. Easy to find and they dealt with our late check in very well! Thanks and look forward to coming back again! Patrick

Ellen, thank you for such a wonderful, relaxed stay. Your attention to detail was first class. The added touch of fresh bread, cookies, breakfast pre-prepared, milk in the fridge....the list goes on. We noted the beautiful Sheridan bedding and gorgeous white Sheridan towels which are our favourite brand. This beautiful cottage is lovely and cosy and the surrounding gardens are picturesque. It was quite cool during our stay, but the heating from the air conditioning and electric blanket was the perfect remedy. We also had a lovely time in Bangalow, which has an abundance of charm and many specialty shops, with great places to eat which are all within walking distance of the cottage. Ellen, a five star AirBNB, congratulations! We will definitely recommend to all our friends and look forward to staying again in the future. Best wishes. C & J (Toowoomba Queensland).

Terrific location, very close to the waterfront, walking distance to esplanade, pier, beach, and also restaurants and local markets. Very quiet and peaceful spot. Helen was super helpful and a great communicator, responsive and friendly.

My husband loved his stay at Thais's place. The space is beautiful and airy, with thoughtful touches like proper kitchen knives, good reading lamps and the location was superb. Thais was also a responsive, friendly and thoughtful host. Highly recommend this spot!

Right in the CBD . Very high up over looking the city . Great views . Henfry is very helpful .

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.

Its an apartment with a magnificent view across Melbourne, right next to the incredible Victoria Market and the thumping heart of the centre of the city. Yet it is peaceful and quiet. The pool is long and lovely and there is a gym too. Selina was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely come back if I visited Melbourne again.

What a pleasure it was to stay in this spacious, comfortable and well equipped home. Emily provides everything you need right down to umbrellas. The beautiful views over Whale Beach added a fabulous touch to this perfect airbnb. Emily and David were quick to respond, always helpful, and throughout my 10 day stay ensured that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Northern Beaches.

I cannot say enough great things about our stay at Sharon’s one bedroom in the city! First, Sharon was a gem of a host! She was very responsive and sent detailed instructions with pictures for check in, knowing it could be confusing to find. She was also flexible to allow us to drop off bags early, which was a huge help! The apartment was just as described, a comfy space to come back to after big days of exploring! It was very clean and had all we needed for our stay.

Aaron’s place was great. Beds were comfy, you’ll feel right at home. It has an amazing view of the city and the ocean. It’s close to the beach and shops. We had an awesome stay!

Definitely a president suite standard of airbnb . Very generous host to give pre breakfast , eggs milk and complementary drinks . Wonderful preparation . All the necessities needed are all in this Airbnb . I am speechless to see how good this Airbnb is . Will be back again for sure

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