Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South-East Melbourne

Easily one of the best AIRBNB’s I’ve stayed in. Sarah and Hal were excellent hosts, friendly, helpful but never intrusive. The room and ensuite were very clean and beautifully decorated, and the home warm and characterful. I would highly recommend this place on your travels to Melbourne.

It was a wonderful stay with both Elisabeth and Len! Their house was clean, tidy and pleasing, loved all the little personal touches in their home. The space was just as lovely as the hosts, who were kind and helpful. We felt very welcomed throughout, and they even went out of the way to prepare extra blankets, food and even a personal guide on things to do around the area/in Melbourne. That was especially useful and we appreciate it! Definitely highly recommend to stay here if you wanna feel right at home 🥰

If a stay in Chelsea is what you need then this is a good option. Comfortable, spacoius, gererously provisioned. It had a particularly pleasant rear deck for the warmer times. We jad everything we needed and would stay again.

Luna was very welcoming and comfortable for us to share their communal space. The Bedroom was very ambient and had an outlook to lovely trees. The private Bathroom was clean and modern. The choccies were a nice touch. My sister and I felt relaxed and had a great time.

Great , clean and cozy house. Jay was very quick to respond. At the end, we enjoyed our stay and had a nice and relaxing time.

Julie was such a lovely, accommodating host throughout my stay in Melbourne. The entire place really has that quaint Victorian style, making you feel like right at home. The neighbourhood was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a light sleeper like me. And Ruby, what a cutie and a great joy to be around, especially when I was cooking in the kitchen XD. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Melbourne.

Thank you so much for accomodating us Steven! Your place exceeded its description and pictures ☺️ I was staying alone with my small children and we felt so safe and so comfortable. Great surroundings and within walking distance. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure ☺️

We stayed two nights with Kerry and Rod and have enjoyed it a lot. The two gave us good hints on what to do and where to eat on the island. Thanks, Kerry and Rod! Hope to see you again some time.

Will definitely recommend to others. Quiet warm cosy. Good parking. Clean and tidy. Sarah was so lovely .

We loved our stay here, such a good location for is to visit the grandparents in the retirement community. Our wonderful hosts were super helpful, friendly, and available. The storage are is top notch nothing feels better then being able to unpack your bags and organize your things so you can see them. I really loved the recommendations for places to visit. Also, we came in winter and they were so nice to have the place heated before we arrived. Definitely recommended

Stayed 2 nights at Allan and Elizabeth’s listing. The place was as per photos and felt very clean and fresh. Host was kind to get the heating turned on for us before we arrived as it was a cold day. We chose this area as it was in close proximity to the massive Chadstone shopping centre and is between Melbourne and Phillip Island (penguins). Overall a very pleasant and easy stay. Do note to request for self check-in if required as we had the host wait up for us and we felt really bad!

Perfect little studio in the heart of St Kilda- but on a nice quiet residential street so a good night sleep is guaranteed! There’s even a quaint little balcony where you can see the ocean and city. We were blessed with perfect weather for our Melbourne weekend and loved the convenience to be able to walk to everything in St Kilda or hop an easy tram to the city: definitely recommend !

This accommodation is a gem! It’s incredibly cozy, truly feeling like a home away from home. Host Janette is outstanding—friendly, quick to respond, and always supportive. The place is beautifully designed and spotlessly clean. The bed is super comfortable, and the sea view is breathtaking, especially during sunset. It’s the perfect, relaxing spot to unwind. I’m definitely coming back for a longer stay!

Had a great stay at Kristina's studio, lovely and cosy, kitchen with everything I needed and very close to the beach

Absolutely fantastic stay. The welcome was up there with the best I ever had. Deb’s husband graciously welcomed us and was flexible about our timing. The position is second to none. Although being right in the heart of restaurants , cafes and walking distance to the beach, it was quiet. We were welcomed with champagne, chips and chocolates and plenty to make breakfast the next morning. The kitchen is perfectly appointed for those who like to cook. Also a myky card - which is super helpful (don’t forget not to leave it in the red!) We felt able to contact our hosts at anytime. All round great stay.

We loved our stay here. Was a great base for catching up with friends elsewhere on the peninsula. Was so comfy, very well appointed, felt just like a home away from home. The bed was a bit soft for us but that’s a personal preference. It was also great to be able to do a load of washing before we continued on our trip around Victoria. We’d stay again for sure. Mt Eliza is a lovely and safe feeling village. Easy walk to shops from the unit. Thanks for your great hospitality Christine!

We had a lovely stay at Henfry’s place. Our favourite part was the view - absolutely stunning! The apartment was neat and clean. The location was great, we walked everywhere. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Selina’s place was just as beautiful as the photos promised. The location, overlooking Queen Victoria Market, was perfect! Central and convenient, with easy access to everything whether on foot or by public transport. The view from the 45th floor was incredible, such a unique perspective of the city. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely love to come back. Thanks for everything!

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

had a lovely stay! the view of the city with the marvel stadium is incredible.. even cooler to go inside and watch a a game and walk out and see where you’re staying.:) great place and great person!

We had a great stay. Everything was as described, very clean, we had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly responsive and we were very comfortable.

*Great city views. *Table in office fantastic for sorting out clothing. *Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. *We both had the best sleep EVER on the bed and pillows in THIS Airbnb!

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!

We stayed 5 weeks in the apartment and loved it. It’s bright, airy and has everything we needed to feel at home. Great location in the heart of Hawthorn and so close to train station, trams and lots of great food places. Highly recommend.
