Family-friendly holiday rentals in Fairhaven

Sandy was so easy to communicate with. He was friendly and helpful and allowed us to check in early. The house was stunning and you could see the ocean from the balcony and the most amazing sunsets. The spa was amazing and the house was warm, well set out and very clean. Highly recommend this property.

Great stay, place felt secure, warm, safe and peaceful - was near family and friends we were celebrating with. Super clean, beautiful presentation, would definitely stay again.

Swan Bay views was the perfect accommodation for our needs as a couple with a dog. It had everything we needed from a large secure backyard for the dog to a warm and cosy one bedroom apartment with high quality king size bed, fully equipped kitchen and laundry. We appreciated the extra touches on arrival with the lovely sourdough bread, lemon cake and home made jams, prewarmed rooms, instructions and local recommendations. It was a nice blend of B&B and AirBnB with the lovely provisions and well stocked kitchen and owners onsight but out of site. The location was a short walk to main street and a nice and quiet location with beautiful views of Swan bay to greet you each morning.

We loved our stay! Beautiful space to enjoy for the weekend. The goats, fireplace and view from back deck were highlights. Hopefully we will be back soon! 😊

Pauline’s property in Apollo Bay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The property is beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the surrounding nature that made every morning special. The interior is cozy yet modern, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for us — peaceful and chill! Coming back to such a serene retreat was the perfect way to unwind after a great day out exploring Apollo Bay. Pauline was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local tips. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm hospitality. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we would highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful place, The hosts were really friendly and very helpful. Even gave us fererro roches and fresh fruit. Offered us late checkout too ! Really kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure and 100% would recommend this beautiful spot.

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

We loved the stay upon late night check in as we missed the ferry to devonport, great private spave with everything we needed! Thank you!

This was our 3rd (or 4th!) stay at the Cottesloe Beach Shack. Gorgeous stay as always, Rebecca super helpful and we just love this place. Super dog friendly with lots of space for everyone. The recent renovations and updates are gorgeous, including the new outdoor space - we can't wait to get back to use it in some warmer weather! Look forward to getting back again soon.

beautiful home, lovely location. not a single fault, the hosts were transparent and the place was so homely

Really enjoyed my stay here, close to Lake Connewarre, Barwon Heads and the Walk for Truth sections between Morreware and Geelong. Tony kindly lit the woodfire for me so the place was toasty when I arrived, and he was very responsive about firewood and when the gas ran out it was quickly dealt with. I got to see the sunrise each morning without having to get out of bed! Everything I needed in the kitchen so I could prepare my own meals. A peaceful and relaxing stay, thank you!

Loved Mark's place. Cosy, great design, amazing art, and gorgeous gardens. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our short stay at Eve's in Torquay. The house is in such a great location with Whites Beach at the end of the road. It was literally doggy heaven with dogs allowed off lead along the beach and a short walk to The Salty Dog Cafe for our morning coffee. There are so many cafes and restaurants also within walking distance, so perfect for an active and outdoorsy weekend away. Although there was only two of us and our dog, the house is spacious enough for another couple or extended family. It's also cosy, comfortable and well equipped for those who prefer to stay in.

A last minute request met with warm hospitality. The cottage was warm, ambient, with classical music playing in the background and a heated bed with the electric blanket. Whilst it rained the whole time, my little dog and I enjoyed the peaceful retreat and braved the rain for a walk to the near by shops. The location is perfect with everything at your door steps. Tony and Graeme are fantastic hosts. The fresh fruit bowl was generous and the abundant books, games, DVDS were enough to want to stay in and chill. Very lucky to have found this home away from home.

Loved my stay at the Bells Beach Cottages. Jacqueline and Gavin are lovely and responsive hosts who made the stay welcoming, easy and comfortable. The surrounding property is lovely and peaceful, lots of bird life and even spotted some kangaroos! Bells Beach is very close by and Torquay is not far to grab supplies. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Absolutely gorgeous space, we felt right at home immediately. Shushana was a fantastic communicator making sure we had everything we needed. Will absolutely be considering staying again next time we're in the area

We had a great stay at this clean and spacious bungalow. The location was perfect, and the place had everything we needed. Even though it rained all weekend and we didn’t get to use the amazing amenities like the pool and tennis court, we’ll definitely be booking again in summer to enjoy them properly. The host was super responsive and helpful, thanks again!

We keep coming back to the Farm Cottage because we love the peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation, excellent location, feeding the animals with James in the mornings, and playing with Zeus the sheepdog. It was our fourth visit and we are already planning another stay! A huge thank you to Michelle and James for welcoming us back again, and for being such wonderfully hospitable and kind hosts.

We had a great long weekend away at Chris’ property. The house had plenty of space for us all with amazing views despite the wet weather of the weekend. We were kept warm and dry with the wood fire and heaters in all bedrooms. Would highly recommend and stay again.

A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

We couldn’t be happier with our time at this home. It was beautifully clean, well appointed and had everything you need. The home was so convenient to the shops, a short stroll away. We stayed in April and the surrounds were very quiet and peaceful.

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.

Frank was a great host & left simple checkin instructions. The house was as described & was excellent for a large group (16), with good indoor & outdoor entertainment areas. Slightly inconvenient having to provide your own linen given we were a large group - but this was outlined in the listing & Frank's reminder message. Would definitely stay again.

Nicola’s house is set in a beautiful well cared for garden! The house is as beautiful as the garden! Nicola was a very responsive host who left us an extremely well stocked kitchen! Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us Nicola!
