Family-friendly vacation rentals in Nillumbik Shire

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!

Thankyou Alix & Taj, we loved your place, unfortunately for us we didn't get to experience it fully as were at a conference from early till late. We do hope to comeback and enjoy again soon. Carolyn, Laura, Patty & Kristina.

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

Wonderful experience. From first communication to the last, Henfry was friendly, courteous and proactive. Directions for parking and accessing the unit were clear and easy. The unit itself was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Lovely views with good wifi. Good heating for a cold few days! Beds were comfortable and the tram (free tram zone) was just outside the front door making the CBD easily accessible. Great place to stay! Highly recommended

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

The cottage was stunning and exactly as advertised, The view from the bedroom windows was amazing. Anniggien was a gracious host providing the little extras to make our stay more comfortable. The only complaint we have from the whole experience is the couch being too close to the floor. Would definitely recommend and would happily book again.

Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Property was very felt homely. Mostly we enjoyed playing piano. Griselda has been very flexible with check in and check out times which was very helpful.

Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

The stay here was perfect. I stayed with my bridal party the night before my wedding and it had everything we needed. Nancy was also very friendly and responsive which made the booking and checking in process seamless.

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

My husband, myself and our 4 adult children stayed at Lavender Farm. When first arriving we were greeted by their friendly dogs. Jacky had made a delicious cake and fresh bread plus farm fresh eggs and bacon ready for breakfast the next morning. It made us feel right at home. The farm is beautiful as is the accommodation. Tony (the host) was very friendly and helpful. The town itself has everything you need. Healesville is a lovely place to stay. I would highly recommend Lavender Farm.

We had a great stay at Tanglewood, we were visiting family on the area. Lovely place well kitted out very peaceful and tranquil and a good size. Roslyn is lovely and a great host. We would definitely recommend and return

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.

Wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend to anyone. Clean and spacious, comfy beds and the host really has thought of everything! Nice walk to cafes, parks, trams and buses. Not too long into the city and surrounding attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Such a beautiful space, great location, easy to find and the sunrises were incredible. The only negative would be the office building directly in front of the balcony which doesn’t allow a lot of privacy. But if on a weekend should be fine.

Beautiful location one block from the free tram. There is short term (5 min) parking along the short side streets on each side of building that can be used when picking up the key or loading/unloading your car.

We lived our stay at Rivergardens. The apartment was spectacular with every amenity you could want. The apartment is beautifully furnished with quality fittings and decor. The two bathrooms were amazing and we wanted to move in permanently! Julie was very proactive with instructions, helpful tips and things to do in and around Melbourne. There was lots of little personal touches to make us feel welcome which was a nice touch. We would definitely stay at Rivergardens again and can’t recommend it more highly.

Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful hospitality, flexibility and care to your clients. You're a commendable host and would encourage all people to use your apartment. It was clean. You were responsive and very friendly. You went beyond all challenges amidst us having delayed flights and arriving late at your place. Thank you so much. I trust, we shall come back when we return to Melbourne and will recommend our friends to utilize your services

Beautiful place! Right by a tram stop that takes you directly into the city. Very clean and cozy space with plenty of amenities! Right across from melbourne square underground parking if you’re planning on driving. In a beautiful area of the city if you’re an artsy person ◡̈

The location is very convenient, very close to Victoria Market, and there are many restaurants and supermarkets downstairs, so you can easily handle eating out or cooking yourself The owner is very friendly, responds quickly to every question and gives advice, and is a great help to me for the first time in Australia!

Excellent all round, great location, very very clean, great roomy space, near restaurants and easy walk to the CBD. Lots of extras thoughtfully provided including kitchenware, crockery, pillows, towels, dishcloths, spare blankets and pillows. Too much to list, but easily the best accommodation we've had for our family and felt very comfortable and welcoming. Would recommend and look forward to staying again in the future.
