The Small House - Mid century gem in Healesville
2 friends and l had a great weekend at Giustino’s Airbnb. We had a wedding in the Yarra Valley and Healesville was a great base. The Airbnb was cosy and looked like the pictures - we loved the decor and it was very clean and well equipped. Instructions were easy to follow and we were very appreciative of the treats left by the host - fresh bread, milk, eggs, a bottle of wine and even some fudge! Highly recommend

Garden Bungalow with the Possums
Barbara is lovely, friendly and incredibly helpful - a joy to be with. The garden is an oasis and the location is within a couple of minutes of the train, great shops and eateries. It is also close to the beach. The bungalow is cozy with everything you could need. I highly, highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much Barbara 🌸

Wake up across the road from the beach!
Host was responsive and proactive, keen to give guests a positive experience. House is well located, walkable distance to shops and restaurants and the beach. Thanks for having me! Will definitely visit again.

Self Contained cottage on 10 acres
We had a wonderful stay despite the rainy weather! The accommodation was lovely, with beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere. Zoe especially loved feeding the little pony,, such a heartwarming experience! The location is also convenient, just a short drive into town for meals. Rebecca was an amazing host. everything was thoughtfully prepared. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed: fresh milk, eggs, juice, bread, complete kitchenware, and an induction The heating and hot shower were also excellent, especially on a chilly day. Thank you for such a warm and comfortable stay. we’d love to come back again!

Lovely, Spacious Studio
Very quiet location. Studio warm and bed comfortable. Studio well appointed and would suit longer stay. On street parking. Adam and Simone were great hosts. They respected your privacy but were more than happy to assist if needed. Short walk to cafes on Turner Street, short drive or longer walk to Patterson Street shopping strip, IGA supermarket and train station to CBD. A lovely stay.

Long Island Getaway Patterson Lakes
The apartment is gorgeous ! Highly recommend all of you to live in here. Here you got everything you needed! The place is clear and the host is nice.

Lovely Apartment, with everything that you would need while away from Home. Very Comfortable.

Guesthouses with a patio

Quiet, spacious and private in leafy Eltham
Very beautiful and quiet space. Super friendly hosts and great clear instructions. Highly recommend.

Luxe Penthouse beach, parks, views
We had a wonderful stay at Flower’s beautiful Elwood penthouse with our dog. The apartment was luxurious, spotless, and perfectly located for exploring Melbourne’s Bayside. Flower was incredibly warm and welcoming, greeting us personally and stocking the fridge with thoughtful, delicious goodies. Every detail was taken care of, making our stay feel easy and indulgent. We’d absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stylish, relaxing base in Elwood.

Quiet, quaint and private guesthouse.
Joe's place was a perfect place for us during our stay as our activity was centered at the S.E. Suburbs of Melbourne. Joe himself was a very nice host with trigger quick response if U need anything from him. As others can have a different experience during their stay in Joe's place, I personally believe everything can be solved effectively using a simple friendly communication with Joe, as he is very communicable and helpful. All the best for Joe, thank's for hosting us.

Cottage Under The Vines Couples Retreat
Sam and Kathy were wonderful people and we had a lovely time staying in the cottage. It was tidy and well equipped with a very complete kitchen (including extra snacks from our lovely hosts!). The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the area is private and peaceful yet walking distance to some great restaurants for evening outings. A perfect little weekend getaway for us!

Boutique loft Studio in Flemington + breakfast
Lisa was a wonderful host! She was very responsive and adaptive to everything we needed. The loft was fully equipped, very cozy and warm. Would definitely come stay again!

Studio at La Collina
Peter was incredibly hospitable and we really enjoyed our stay in Seville! It was so beautiful and tranquil and the perfect getaway. Will definitely be rebooking!

Unit B. 1 bedroom with backyard.
Great little space to stay, we could also bring our 2 Furbabies. Clean, neat and well presented

Light filled self-contained 1 bedroom studio
Very much enjoyed my stay at Lis’ place. Lis was very friendly and helpful and the premises was great for me and my two pups. Lots of space inside and a nice big deck too that is private. It accommodated the pups nicely with a dog door to get inside freely and extra dog bowls etc. I’ll certainly be back next time I’m in Melbourne! Thanks Lis.

Oikos: A sunny self-contained unit in Coburg
This was my second stay at Oikos, and it was lovely as always. I was fairly busy and out all day each day I was there, so Tessa and David didn't need to do anything for me, but they both checked in to say hi and make sure everything was fine. The space was nice and clean, with some little extras in the cupboards that made it great.

107 Brunswick East Lodge: Entire Guesthouse
Ange‘s guestroom was the perfect location for me and right smack in front of the tram stop 96 which took me into the city , visiting the South Melbourne and Queen Victoria markets and also St Kilda beach at the end stop . There are quality cafes within walking distance , beautiful walks along the Merri creek and the CERES and parks. Her guestroom was private separate from the Main building . Ange was very responsive to a few issues with cleanliness that I encountered on the day that I arrived and also with the cleaning company on the day that I left, but she resolved it immediately.

Mornington Peninsula Paradise - Self-contained cottage.
We stayed here for 5 nights. It was the perfect location for our time here. There is a lovely walk close by along Sweetwater Creek. It is a small one bedroom cottage located at the back of the hosts home. We had parking on site, which we appreciated. Easy to find, and great instructions on how to locate and enter the cabin. Bathroom is tiny as other reviewers have mentioned and it is a challenge to use the sink when cleaning your teeth. Shower pressure was great. Bed was comfy. We bring our own pillows, so can't comment on those. Wifi is located at the bottom of the tv screen, took us a minute to find. Overall, loved staying here and would definitely stay again.

A spacious studio in the middle of everything
We had a very restful sleep and recharged from our busy shifts. Bed was very very nice & comfy, place was so quiet. Everything you need is there. Kitchen is complete with refreshments in fridge. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We will surely come back to this place.

Cosy inner city loft with the comforts of home
I really enjoyed staying at Denise's place. It's a very cute second floor space in the back of her courtyard separate from the house. It was very cozy and comfortable. I was able to do laundry and hang them on the laundry line in the backyard. Great windows out front that welcomed the morning sun. And very easy to get to the local train station which was under a five minute walk away. Lots to do in the area in very safe. Thank you Denise!

Your Private Space to Relax and Enjoy!!
I have stayed at Vicki's place many times before and she is truly a superhost. Helpful, approachable, proactive and looks after ever detail of your stay. The guesthouse is comfy and cozy and has everything you need. I would 100% recommend a stay at Vicki's and already have another stay booked myself.

Edgewater Studio Retreat
Michael was a great host, responsive and had easy to follow instructions. The dog barely barked and it’s a nice peaceful neighbourhood. The apartment was spotless and perfect for a couple nights away.

Skyview Studio
thank you Bernard for hosting us. what a wonderful place and great eye for design! absolutely recommend and will be coming back.
