Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Melbourne

Henfry’s place was the perfect base for our trip to Melbourne. Henfry left clear instructions for parking, check in and the apartment’s amenities. We really enjoyed the pool! We had a very positive experience and would happily stay again.

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

Tikali was a great host and the place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in town

Very hospitable stay. The host was very friendly and had shared clear instructions. was very flexible with the check in and check out

Nick and Harriet were great hosts. Prompt communication and clear instructions for the apartment. The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a great time in Melbourne with the kids. Location was excellent and access to the pool and other amenities in the building was a bonus. We will come back here next time we come down. Thanks Nick and Harriet.

Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

Great little 2 bedroom apartment in a lovely renovated older art deco style building. We really enjoyed our stay (mum, dad and 2 x teenage sons). Very close to public transport and all the shops at St Kilda, Luna Park and the Breakwater. Only a short tram ride into the markets or the city or MCG. We really enjoyed our time here, was a good base for our adventures. This suburb is what I picture when I think of Melbourne.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the uniqueness of the place. Jo was super helpful when we had any questions.

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Fantastic location! Walk to toorak rd and chapel st and great food. Easy walk to train. Great little place

We had a great time at Eva’s and enjoyed sitting by the fire place and relaxing. It was very close to the tram line which made a trip into the city very easy and fun for the kids. The house was very clean and had all that we needed for our stay.

Thanks Katherine, your place was great. Perfect location and everything we needed to be comfortable. Many thanks

Central location with great views! Check-in went smoother than I expected and the apartment was stocked with all the basics. Location was super walkable and convenient. Would definitely opt for this place again!

Lovely little apartment with everything you need for a great weekend. Walking distance to most Melbourne attractions. 25 metre indoor lap pool and gym made sure we stayed active.

It is my second stay and as good as always, clean, tidy and full of everything that I need. Rob is always helpful and quick response, thank you so much and highly recommended to everyone comes to Melbourne

Such a beautiful space, great location, easy to find and the sunrises were incredible. The only negative would be the office building directly in front of the balcony which doesn’t allow a lot of privacy. But if on a weekend should be fine.

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Wow! Location, location, location, and views forever! Everything in Melbourne is right at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are just amazing, and floor to ceiling windows ensure you can take full advantage of the views and the position. There is a supermarket, liquor store, an amazing food court, and shops just downstairs. Trams are just across the street. So convenient. Sam is an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, and he responded to our queries almost immediately. I can recommend Sam’s apartment to anyone who visits Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great experience at Yi’s apartment. The location is perfect! Very easy to get around and access many places of interest. Everything was super convenient and well-connected. The host was absolutely wonderful —welcoming, helpful, and made us feel right at home. The space itself was cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful hospitality, flexibility and care to your clients. You're a commendable host and would encourage all people to use your apartment. It was clean. You were responsive and very friendly. You went beyond all challenges amidst us having delayed flights and arriving late at your place. Thank you so much. I trust, we shall come back when we return to Melbourne and will recommend our friends to utilize your services
