Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Merimbula

Our second year staying at Serendip, and we loved it even more this time around. A beautiful cottage with heaps of charm, in the most incredible place. Rachel is warm, welcoming and goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. So many thoughtful touches to make your stay enjoyable.

The accommodation was beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathrooms. A lovely touch was some local produce gifts ie wine, milk, jam and chutney. Would recommend this property to everyone. We had a fabulous time in comfort, across the road from the sea that put us to sleep each night and just down the road a choice of great cafes.

Liz is a kind and open host who oozed warmth from the moment we exchanged messages. Stepping into the Box House felt like coming home—a thoughtful supply of beautiful breakfast goods, a huge bunch of herbs ready for cooking, and a basket full of games to encourage conversation and time well spent with your company. Filled with art, character, and everything you might need for your stay, the house was nothing short of immaculate. There is plenty to do only a short drive away, or you can simply stay put and enjoy the serenity. The Box House will provide stunning sunrise views from bed, crosswinds through the rooms that clear your mind, and a night sky so clear, you’ll lose track of time counting stars. Whether you’re after a restful retreat or a cozy base for adventure, this place delivers. Liz has created something truly special—an experience that lingers long after you’ve left. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely two day stay at Wallaga Lake. Very pet friendly.

Thanks so much for hosting us this weekend. The cottage was cosy and perfect home base for trips to the sapphire coast.

Brads place was amazing. Absolutely immaculate and had everything you could wish for and well stocked kitchen. Such an amazing place to stay and heaps of room. Brad was also so easy to communicate with and responded promptly. House is in great location! Had the best time there.

Very clean and serviceable. 2 of us stayed, but would be also comfortable for many more.

This beautiful old church was a pleasure to stay at. Located on a large private block on a hill overlooking the village of Wolumla, it offers peace and quiet with stunning views of the rolling hills below, all within a short drive to Merimbula, Pambula and the beautiful little settlement of Candelo. The residence is open plan, which makes it perfect for young families with kids, while the separate bathhouse, shower and toilet offers privacy where it matters. With high ecclesiastical ceilings and beautiful old stained glass window features, not to mention wonderful acoustics, it’s a really unique experience. And the external deck is a great place to share a meal or admire the view. A rare spot and a truly wonderful stay. Our seven-year-old son especially loved it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different.

We had a wonderful week exploring Tathra and surrounding areas. Katie’s home was the perfect base and so beautifully set up with everything you need. Great location to be able to walk to the wharf, Chamberlain lookout, supermarket, Kianinny Bay and just generally explore the town. Thank you so much to Katie, Edith and Olive for letting us borrow your home for the week. We can’t wait to return!

We had a long trip driving with 3 little ones from Melbourne to Sydney. We decided to spend 2 nights at Harvey's on the way and it was a perfect place to rest and relax. We appreciate all the thought that you have put into making it a really welcoming and comfortable. We loved watching and listening to the birds and the stunning views. Thank you for sharing this very special place!

Phil was a friendly and obliging host. The unit was perfect for our needs, and it was bigger than it seemed from the photos. From the front of the unit, there are views over the north of the beach and the neighbours' front lawns were full of kangaroos at night. I would very happily rent the unit again on a future visit to Tathra.

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Leonie's home. Leonie was a very communicative host who offered early check in and made many helpful recommendations for day walks in Merimbula and surrounds. The view from the accommodation is amazing and the property is well situated for exploring Bar Beach, Long Point, Short Point and the Lake Explorer path into town. Definitely recommend!

Had a lovely 2 night stay. Anthony and Ana were very helpful and hospitable throughout our stay.

Great stay. friendly host and its in the middle of Bermagui. Our only regret was we didn't book for a longer stay.

Paul and Lee were warm and welcoming hosts and we loved our time at the View. Its location and great view were as described. My only disappointment was that the two single beds were bunk beds. Paul’s photos show this clearly, but I had pictured “two single beds” as twin beds. No doubt, it was my lack of attention to detail that caused the issue, but I think worth highlighting. In short, the perfect configuration for a family with kids, but not so much for two older couples.

What an absolute gem, this quirky, gorgeous flat is a dream to stay at, we loved absolutely everything about it. Haani is such a beautiful soul, so welcoming and accommodating, she truly made our stay extra special.
