Holiday rentals with a kayak in Victoria

We had a fantastic stay at Wattle Bird for a friend's getaway. The house was spacious and comfortable—perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 dogs. Rob and Di were exceptional hosts, warm and welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The property had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Barwon Heads, with standout amenities like the BBQ, hot tubs, and a cozy fireplace. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wattle Bird and would love to return!

It was perfect place for our weekend getaway to explore Mornington and surronds. Angela was very helpful and flexible with check-in/check-out. The place was comfortable, well equipped with appliances and amenities, with great access to the beach across the road.

My partner and I had a wonderful time at Marina Vista! The home was so cozy and set up beautifully with furniture and lovely antiques around the home. The view overlooking the Marina is breathtaking! There were local restaurant recommendations that we tried and LOVED! Laura has set up a beautiful home in an excellent location and we can’t wait to come back! 😍

Cosy accommodation it's peaceful area not far from town the house had everything we needed cheers .

Was everything we wanted and more, from the time we arrived until the time we left.

Anna’s place was a haven away from the busy city life. The house was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully presented with lovely touches and everything you’d need for a family beach holiday. Close to 16 Beach and there were also plenty of family friendly activities at the house - so need to leave! Loved that doggo could join us too.

Kimberley’s place was great the little touches were amazing! And a great amount of space, the only thing was having 2 towels each for 3 nights stay was a bit tight especially when we had a lot to do over the 3 days functions etc by the last day the towels were quite wet and cold. Other than that the place was great. Thanks Kimberley

Great place for our crew to stay whilst working at local schools. Would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the most wonderful Easter holiday for my family. Sarah's house is absolutely gorgeous, perfect for families- it has such a wonderful cottage vibe. The location is perfect- walking distance to boat ramp and playground and in such a peaceful area. Also a great garden for finding Easter eggs!

We enjoyed 3 nights at Steve’s. Love the space available, saw wallaby and wild hares hopping about the grounds in the evening. Steve was very hospitable and responsive. Garage was full of activities we could play with, though w didn’t get through most of them. Love the Sweet blue theme with the doors and bunk bed. It had most everything we needed.

It was great to stay at Kerrin’s cottage. The place has breathtaking views for sunset and is very close to Great Victorian Trail. Absolutely loved staying here.

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage for an anniversary. Great location by some beautiful state forest. Very cozy spending time by the fireplace.

The caretakers and Ken were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. They were very accomodating to my family and my small children. Upon arrival the caretakers had the fire going to the house was very warm and inviting which was an amazing welcome. The guide provided to us upon booking was filled with clear instructions and things to do around the area and we will absolutely be back to stay when we have more of a chance to enjoy those amenities - we got to explore the property a little bit but running around organising wedding things took up majority of our time this trip. We will absolutely be back and are already planning our next trip to the OutPost!!

Elbert’s place was fantastic, amazing get away from the city - Elbert had the fire going and the pizza oven all set up and ready to go. The Cottage is cozy and warm in the winter weather, we would highly recommend a weekend getaway at Elbert’s Cottage. Thanks for a wonderful Stay

I cant even put into words how magical both this property and the surrounding area is. Coming from the first half of our trip visiting three major cities between Sydney & Melbourne, this was a breath of fresh air to say the least. As soon as you drive in you are greeted with beautiful colours of orange from the trees as well as the distant white from the snowy mountain tops. When we arrived to the property we were greeted with clear signage directly to where we were staying. It looked exactly as presented and my germaphobe partner was ecstatic with the cleanliness standard and for the first time felt comfortable in someone else's sheets! The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed to make a nice meal in this cosy home, with a full view of the mountains in the distance. We even made friends with the cows just over the fence and played music to them. Our privacy was well respected for our full week stay. The worst part of this stay was leaving and we cant wait to come back.

Very friendly and personable experience with Ken and Gail. Just a great time relaxing in a beautiful setting, enjoyed running and walking the trails, kayaking the river and reading some of the books at the cottage by the fire. Roosters and baby goats were a highlight for the kids. Highly recommend for a relax

Jim and Louisa’s pod is a perfect private Haven, walking disrance to the beach, beautiful garden for a little dog to run out at the front, and the pod had all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot spa at night looking at the stars is a must. Definitely recommend!

Amazing location! Incredible set up! Just a beautiful property! The Lake was a low which made it a little hard to access, but we made it work and still caught fish, enjoyed a kayak and plenty of swimming.

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.

What an amazing and cozy little cottage, privately located in the bush, loads of wildlife, I saw deer, roos, wallabys and wombats! Amanda and Rob were extremely accommodating and helpful and have amazing blueberry liqueur which is worth the visit alone. Highly recommend for a relaxing and cosy stay.

We abolsutely loved the place and our family had a wonderful time!! Great house, yard that has amazing view over the lake. I will definitely be booking to stay here again! Alex is a wonderful host and was super responsive with our questions and recommendations for Jindabyne.

Susan's place was exactly what we were looking for for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. It's close enough for an easy drive, lovely scenery, and a very comfortable place to stay. Lancefield was the closest town which had all of the the food and restaurant options we could use. The bed was fantastic, and there were extra blankets, towels, and enough cutlery and crockery for a couple of people on a weekend away. We had tea, coffee, and very kindly some fruit and biscuits for us on arrival which made it feel right at home. The property is listed as pet friendly, and it's so well organised for the pup that we had everything at hand that we needed including towels to keep her dry when it was raining outside. The hot tub was great, and although the weather wasn't fantastic, it was lovely to spend the evening in. I could go on, but if you're reading this, and need a short stay away in the country this is the place to be.

The cottage was perfect for what we wanted. The recommendation to try dinner at the Kilcunda Hotel was perfect. A great country pub with such friendly and attentive staff made it and enjoyable night. We will return.

We had such a wonderful stay at Charmaine's riverfront cottage. The location and view of the river were superb, it was such a lovely, tranquil getaway. Having a fire pit was great, especially with the stunning outlook to the river. The walking track (a stone's throw away) leads you to the local pub, bakery, coffee caravan, etc. or the caravan park and boat ramp in the other direction. The cabin was cosy, light, clean and as neat as a button, equipped with all that we needed. Check-in and communication with the host was super straightforward. I'll look forward to staying at the riverfront cabin again :)
