Family-friendly vacation rentals in Goughs Bay

We had a wonderful stay at the cozy cottage and our son loved the farm animals and surrounding gardens. The space was warm, comfortable and very clean. We loved collecting fresh eggs as fruits from the garden in the mornings, what a special treat!

Amazing place, amazing hosts. Been staying at Merrijig for many years and this is one of the best homes we’ve stayed in. Kind hosts with complementary food and drinks that were left for us at check-in. Very strongly recommend.

My partner and I loved Top of The Town, we came to have a peaceful couples weekend and it was perfect. Lauren’s place was Cosy, clean and had everything you need. First thing we noticed walking in was that it smelled lovely and we felt right at home. We had full privacy and really enjoyed the spa and the views. We easily used the TV, kitchen and other amenities. The place was walking distance from town and the lake. Lauren was very responsive and friendly, easy communication.

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Celestine’s stunning cottage. The space was exceptionally clean and inviting, with ample bedding and plenty of room to relax. Enjoyed the fireplace stove (there is also a standard stove) and quiet surroundings made it extra cosy, perfect for unwinding after a day out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Spent the night at the stables farm stay for a 30th birthday celebrations, region wine tour, it was the perfect place for us 6 friends to sit around, catch up & enjoy a glass of wine or 2. Thank you for the beautiful house we could make home for the night. Beautiful views, comfortable facilities.

We had a fantastic stay at Peak 202 over Easter for a family wedding—John was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect. Just steps from the village and Chamois ski run, the location couldn’t be better. The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows were stunning, and the space was warm, welcoming, and well-equipped. Our family felt completely at home with three spacious bedrooms, a spa bath, drying room, full laundry, and a great kitchen with everything from a Nespresso machine to a dishwasher. The gas fireplace, Smart TVs, free WiFi, and heated balcony with BBQ made it extra cozy and convenient. Keyless entry and thoughtful extras like games and a secure parking space really stood out. Everything was spotless, stylish, and designed with comfort in mind. Thanks, John, for a memorable and seamless stay—we’ll definitely return to Peak 202!

Such a lovely and quiet place to stay! We felt right at home and comfortable The hosts were very responsive and kind to all our messages We would definitely recommend to anyone

Sherpa's Rest is a lovely spot for an Alpine getaway- very close to Mount Buller and other attractions in the area. The property itself is very comfortable and in a beautiful setting. Phil was a great host - very friendly, responsive and flexible about check-in and checkout times. Thanks, Phil!

Had a wonderful stay. Mel was very quick with responses and accomodating. Was an amazing experience in the Castle house and made many memories during our stay in Bonnie Doon. Thanks Mel!

What an incredible stay we had. our family lovely this place and would reccomend to anyone!

Attractive cottage, very conveniently located to the main Healesville town centre. Chris and Ange were great hosts and made everything very easy.

What a beautiful weekend away in the tranquil walnut farm groves of the apline region - with birds-sheep-cattle-foxes to keep us company- and our dog could run around and enjoy life while the fire kept us toasty warm. Ronaldo has completely undersold this place as a gem for the region - will visit again

My friends and I had a great stay at Sarah’s place. The house is massive and comfortably fits a large group. The views were lovely and Sarah was great to communicate with.

Such a cozy air bnb for a relaxing winter getaway. Great heaters to keep the house warm, comfy beds with nice linen, recommend taking some bath crystals along to have a soak in the tub. Dog friendly property that is fully fenced with a large verandah including table, chairs & fairy lights. Town centre about a 5 min drive away. Overall great stay & good location to explore Yarra Valley & surrounds.

We had a wonderful stay at Jan’s place. It was the perfect place for a cold winter weekend. We loved the fireplace and the bbq. It was shame that it rained the whole time, otherwise we would’ve used the fire pit too. The cottage had everything we needed to cook our meals. The bed was very comfortable. The place had a small secure dog pen where my dog could be off leash. There were also towels and bowls for dogs. Jan was very understanding with my reactive dog, she is super friendly and we will definitely be back in future! Thank you again for a lovely weekend. From Lou, Wayne and Kobi

House was warm and cozy our French bulldogs loved the fire. Lovely generous hosts with breakfast supplies of croissants, fruit and eggs supplied. House was extremely well appointed. Photos don’t do it justice. Loved feeding the birds on the verandah each morning.

Great host! I forgot my snow mask case and Gennie found it and call me to pick it up! Thanks for responsive host!

Stacey’s house is beautiful, well kept, and in a great location for all that Healesville has to offer 😊

Wonderful winter stay at Upper Lurg. 3 couples could not have loved the house more on a cold weekend. Facilities and space were amazing with everything you could need. The pool looked a bit cool at 7 degrees but we could see outdoor summer entertaining being amazing, the spaces, the outdoor cooking area all looked amazing, was ready to crank up the pizza oven. If only the chickens were laying eggs. The location was amazing for the King Valley Wineries. Easy drive to all the Valley. Will plan another visit.

We loved staying at Jacqui place This is our second stay we love that is so private and peaceful Everything is there and so clean Sitting by the fire with a wine is our happy place Thank you again for your hospitality and we will be back

Really nice place, incredibly comfortable bed and great range of pillows for people like me finicky about pillows. As we were there in the dead of winter, a very effective heater was also a pleasure to get back to. Veronica’s home-made muesli was a great treat too and it was a pleasure meeting her. Definitely would stay again.

Eric couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. Their starter kitchen breakfast was perfect and delicious. The house was spotlessly clean, and the bedding extremely comfortable. We’d flown over from Scotland, so comfort was important. I would highly recommend staying here.

Narelle was incredibly easy to contact and responded quickly, making the booking process seamless. The house itself was amazing spacious, clean, and well equipped. The highlight was definitely the beautiful farm setting, with cows and chickens roaming freely. Sitting at the dining table while watching the cows walk past was such a peaceful and unique experience. The rooms and bathroom were generously sized, offering plenty of comfort, and the pool was a fantastic addition for relaxation. The entire stay was truly enjoyable, and we felt so connected to nature. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Narelle once again.

We had a fantastic long weekend at Esther's. The location was terrific, and the setting beautiful- secluded and tranquil but only a two minute drive into town. Well set up for kids and adults alike and cosy in cold weather - we loved feeding the native birds and even spotting a wallaby and its baby in the yard one morning!
