Perfect Panorama Beach or Bush Tree-House
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.

Hillside Torquay - Sleeps 17 - Strictly Family
Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

Trentham Cabin - Blairgowrie
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.

The June at Birch Creek
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! 😊

Ocean Grove Deluxe Spa Cabin
Graeme was a great host, will be back! Awesome location nested in bush land, perfect for a peaceful night away

Spring Creek Love Shack
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.

Wisteria Cottage - directly opposite beach
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.

Paradise-Villa Heated Jacuzzi Tennis, Pool Pets.
If you’re looking for a house to relax and unwind, this could be the one for you! The house was warm and homily, and delivered some amazing sunrises / sunset views, all whilst relaxing in the spacious upstairs lounge. The house was clean throughout, and large enough to accommodate our group of friends. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. Peggy is a great host, super responsive and even provided some complimentary wine to welcome us. Cheers to that!

The Sandpiper - 250m from the bay beach.
A lovely relaxing stay at a very cute cottage in a great location. The cottage was set up well with all the amenities you could need. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Charming Cottage "The Snug"
Fantastic stay and would love to return! Very impressed with everything and loved the weekend away. Fully equipped and well stocked, the place had everything we needed and would expect from an Airbnb

Family and pet friendly 3 BR home
Great location, walking distance to the shops, beach and oval. Great little place for a beachside stay. Simon was a wonderful host - very informative, responsive and flexible. Would definitely recommend.

Chiara Beach Cottage
We had a wonderful holiday at Chiara's place, very comfortable, lovely art throughout the house and an easy walk to everything

Breambar Cottage
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!

Corvus Cabin Portsea Pet Friendly
This unit has everything you need, is in walking distance to Portsea and is dog friendly. We found David very responsive and flexible, allowing a later check out. The unit was exceptionally clean which we really appreciated and whilst the kitchen is small, is well equipped to prepare meals. Very relaxed stay and fully fenced for the dog, we would highly recommend the place.

Tranquil treetop retreat - coastal views
Without a doubt one of the best places we have stayed and Angela was the most amazing host. Felt right at home and location is great. Highly recommend!

Rye Coastal Retreat - Walk to beach! Dog Friendly
Wonderful place to stay. Immaculately clean, well decorated and stocked with everything you need. It’s a decent sized beach house on a big pocket of land, plenty of room for the kids. Karen was an amazing host, proactively providing all the information we needed and checked in after our stay to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Can’t recommend both the place and Karen enough.
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Glen Retreat
Our family getaway was absolutely fantastic! The accommodation was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, providing everything we needed for a perfect stay. Its proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shops was a huge plus. The area was peaceful, and the staff were exceptionally accommodating and helpful. I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again!

Conwy Cottage
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!

Farm Cottage near Peninsula Hot Springs
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.

Saltwater Villa-12m heated* pool, BONUS nights2025
What an absolutely perfect stay we had. Tamara was an amazing host, helping us organise our elopment wedding from Scotland. The house was huge and well kept. we paid to get the pool heated and it was like a warm bath - we spent ages in there and the kids loved it. If we visit again we would definitely stay there again.

100 steps to the beach -Beach House
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!

Sorrento Beach Escape
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.

Bluewater - Cosy beach house
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.

Ocean Grove Beach Oasis -Sleeps 16- inground pool
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.
