Family-friendly vacation rentals in Mount Dandenong

The place was perfect for my daughters and I. Great value especially in the height of summer. Thank you!!!!!

Had a great stay at Carolyn’s suite. Everything was lovely and exactly what we needed.

Very comfortable and functional house in a lovely quiet setting close to beautiful nature.

Marisa was really helpful and.easy to deal with. the house was perfect for two families, with enough space for.kids and adults alike. it's hard to tell from the pics but it's bigger than we had imagined! definitely recommend for families looking for an affordable summer spot on the peninsula that makes you feel at home :)

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

Gingers on the Hills is more than just a beautiful getaway. It’s a heartfelt home away fr home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another holiday rental. Every space is filled with warmth & personal touches that reflect the owner's care & love. The cozy ambiance, breathtaking views, and unmatched hospitality made it the most memorable Airbnb our family ever stayed in. The attention to detail was truly exceptional. Everything we could possibly need & more, was thoughtfully provided, plush linens, organic teas, beautifully curated home decor and nostalgic touches like the vinyl and CD player with a perfect music selection. The generous welcome pack went above and beyond expectations, we felt like we were visiting a dear friend rather than staying at a rental. Kylie & team are incredibly kind & attentive, ensuring that every guest, adult or child, feels cared for. Their thoughtfulness made our stay deeply meaningful. We left with full hearts & will surely return.

Lovely unit! Very clean. Perfect location, short walk to the beach. Only downfall was, there was no air conditioning so the house was like a Sauna. There were no ceiling fans either. Would definitely book regularly if there was air conditioning.

We had a wonderful day. It was very relaxing. The house was amazing very private and close to all amenities that we needed. Highly recommend this little Home away from home.

Sherwood's property was lovely and clean, we really enjoyed our time there with our little pup. The location was close to the dog beach and made exploring the coast easy while driving around. Would definitely stay again, and recommend Sherwood's place to others. Thanks again for having us!

This Airbnb exceeded all expectations—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The host was welcoming and responsive, making check-in seamless. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, from amenities to local tips. A perfect stay in a perfect location. I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Cute place for a short stay. Great spot!

Jane’s Blue House was a pleasure to stay at. Comfortable beds and good shower! I hope to be back next time with my 4 legged friends as I had to leave them behind for this trip.

I had an amazing stay at Helen's place. She was very friendly and let me have early checkin which was fantastic. I would totally recommend her place to others. Thank you

Judith and Paul’s cottage was perfect for our stay in Healesville with our 15 month old son. The property was clean, tidy and had lots of amenities that were important to us as a young family, such as outlet covers, children’s toys, books and tableware. The back deck and gardens were stunning and provided a perfect spot to unwind. In terms of location the cottage is a short 6 minute drive to the Healesville sanctuary, and a short drive into town where there are lots of shops, cafes and parks. We can see why this property would be ideal if you have a dog! We will be recommending the property to our friends who like to travel with their pets.

One of the best bnb's I have stayed at ( I have stayed at many!) Just wanted to get away with my kids for a couple of days. We were all in one room but the kids' bunk had a privacy screen which was appreciated by all parties. Beds were ultra comfy and couches were also so relaxing and comfy. We were so grateful for use of the boogie boards for the kids & a comfy beach chair for myself. We made good use of the fully equipped kitchen and the garden. I appreciated the professional guest info. folder with everything we needed to know about our stay plus info on the area and what to do/where to go/and where to eat/get food. Sandy & Clive were so easy to contact & very responsive. So glad I took up the opportunity to experience the Virbrosaun. It was truly a highlight of my stay. A unique experience to truly zone out and chill. A great base to explore the Bellarine Peninsula. So homely and comfortable. I can't recommend highly enough!

Sam was extremely responsive to questions and my request for early check in and change of dates. The place was perfect for my small family and dog who loved the yard! It was very clean and even beach towels were provided. Sam was kind enough to offer us a late check out too. It was a perfect spot and we had a great time.

We had such a lovely time at Veronika’s home. The house truly feels like a museum with various antiquates and relics from all across the world. My partner was mesmerised by all these artefacts, the library which contained a vast array of books and the tranquil courtyard annexed to the bedroom. Waking up to the gentle morning light that filters through the branches and looking into the mossy courtyard was quite surreal. I was also in love with the pool area/ courtyard, with pink leaves, and the surrounding hills and gorgeous natural scenery of the property. The house itself is of course simply spectacular. The large windows allow you to see the landscape from any angle and when the sun filters in - it is simply stunning. At night, it is equally as gorgeous as you can see the stars from the living area. We were lucky enough to chat with Veronika herself to learn about the history of the house. If you go for an early morning walk you’ll see kookaburras and kangaroos - they were adorable

Great place to stay for visiting the area . Immaculate accommodation. Very friendly & helpful host. Would highly recommend.

A great place to stay in Melbourne - close to the city centre (restaurants, the river) but also easy to walk to South Melbourne (market, parks, seaside). Spacious and well-appointed apartment with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Alix and Taj were great communicators with plenty of relevant information before and during our stay.

We had a great time at Annes place. Close to the beach for a nice walk or a drink in the evening. Also close to trams to get to the CBD area. We enjoyed the take away cups she provides and had several iced latte from Frankies around the corner. Recommend!

Saltwater Villa exceeded our expectations in so many areas. It has lots of living spaces, good sized bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The house is a classic example of art deco architecture and is furnished sympathetically with lovely inclusions. We were a group of 7 and everyone loved the house. Tamara is very responsive. I am hoping we will return one day.

An excellent way to experience Melbourne's vibrant CityLife and stunning views — highly recommended.

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.

A fantastic location surrounded by stunning, tranquil scenery. It’s close to town yet feels like a peaceful wilderness retreat. The studio apartment is thoughtfully and elegantly designed, with every amenity carefully considered—clearly reflecting the host’s attention to detail. Warm and welcoming hosts made the stay even more enjoyable.
