Family-friendly vacation rentals in Parkdale

We had a great time in Melbourne. The apartment was well located and we were able to walk to all of the places and events that we wanted to see and do. There were restaurants and supermarkets nearby and the Yarra River and Southbank Entertainment Precinct were only two blocks away. The apartment was situated within walking distance of the free tram network.

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

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!

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

We had such a great stay at Tikali’s place. The apartment was spotless, stylish, and the building had great amenities (loved the pool!). The location couldn’t have been better; right near parks, which was perfect for our dog Buffy, and within easy walking distance to the city. It was the ideal base for our Melbourne trip, and Tikali was a responsive and thoughtful host. We really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again.

We had such a great time staying at Lauretta’s Airbnb! The area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. There were so many amazing sites and scenic hikes nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Lauretta was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed something. Her place had such a unique charm, from the decor to the overall vibe—it really added to the experience and made it feel special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy spot with character and access to nature. Thanks again, Lauretta!

The apartment was fantastic with incredible views and great access to Southbank restaurants and CBD. Colin was a excellent host. Very responsive, informative and accommodating. Will definitely stay again in the future!

We loved our stay. It's an amazing apartment in a great location. The view of the city is fantastic. Highly recommended! A++

Host was responsive and proactive, keen to give guests a positive experience. House is well located, walkable distance to shops and restaurants and the beach. Thanks for having me! Will definitely visit again.

We loved our stay in Fitzroy, and were delighted with the house - which exceeded our expectations in many ways. It’s a brilliant location for all of Fitzroy and surrounding areas, with so many choices to eat, shop and the wonderful public pool right on the doorstep. Kali was incredibly helpful and allowed us a late check out which we were very grateful for!!

We felt instantly at home at Alison’s house. It was styled so beautiful and everything was neat, tidy and functional. My mum, Dad, partner & daughter all stay for my birthday/Easter long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. We visited the local wine bar, cafes, local restaurants etc. It was also wonderful to be able to bring our little dog along for the stay too. It meant a lot to me he was able to join us for my birthday. Beds were all super comfortable, and we all commented on how well we slept. It was so lovely sitting out in the garden in the mornings having a coffees together and spending quality, memorable time together. I highly recommend this house if you want to spend some relaxing quality time with those you love, or just be in a home with great energy.

Loved our stay at Louise & Ross’s AirBnB, and would stay again in a heart beat. Amazing location for our family trip, so close to the Richmond restaurants/pubs and tram stop/train station at each end of the road that goes straight into Melbourne. It is dangerous having a coffee shop across the road too! The house was amazing, felt like home, so comfy and having a washing machine and dryer was so useful during our stay with our baby, as we had washing to do daily. Louise & Ross were amazing hosts, provided amazing information on the house and were very easy to contact during our stay. We definitely book again on our next Melbourne trip!

Enjoyed our stay in Richmond. Erika & Chris’s place is a spacious, modern apartment down a quiet alleyway. Has all the amenities needed, and is within walkable distance to both West Richmond and North Richmond train stations, as well as nearby bus & tram stops.

Nice stay. Very hospitable!

We had an excellent stay at this gorgeous guesthouse in Seaford! Christine and family were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. The guesthouse is very well appointed and has everything you need for a short stay. The bed was very comfortable with lovely linen. We loved having our breakfast on the deck watching the birds play in the trees. The location was great, only a short walk to the beach and a brilliant creek side walking trail. Seaford also had a good selection of restaurants. We would happily stay here again and have no hesitation recommend it to others!

Most generous host. Amazing assortment of quality foods for breakfast. Fabulous quality linen comfortable bed. Warm host family. Close to train and shops. Perfect

comfy place with an amazing location, many restaurants and shops in the surrounding areas. place also had everything we needed!

Nice and close to lots of restaurants, woolworths and bars. Walkable to the city also. Very clean and tidy place with modern fitout and great amenities. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Would happily stay again.

great location, spectacular view, right in the middle of all the attractions. thoughtful host, prepare everything you will need. definitely will recommend someone to stay when they visit Melbourne!

My three generational family spent a week in Julie's place for the F1 weekend. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The bedrooms were all spacious with loads of storage, the beds extremely comfortable, sheets crisp and white. A porta cot for my 4-month-old grandson was provided. The bathrooms were very clean and had all the amenities you could need, towels white and fluffy. The kitchen had absolutely everything you needed and then some. Even milk in the fridge. A spacious dining table that sat 8 plus a highchair for my 2-year-old granddaughter. The lounge area had more than enough room for the adults as well as a plentiful supply of toys for the grandies. The location was perfect, right in front of a tram stop and a few minutes' walk away from the Crown Casino and Southbank bars and restaurants. The hostess Julie was brilliant, replied to texts immediately and even accommodated our late check out at the last minute. I absolutely would go back again. The pool is great too.

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Great location, 300m from tram, 500m from train station. Clean, quiet, super comfy bed, toiletries were a nice touch which made the place feel more luxurious, outstanding communication - best I’ve ever had with an airbnb host. Great place to stay as a solo traveller or a couple.

We stayed for five nights, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is in a great location, walkable to the city, art gallery, convention centre, Southbank, parks, and trams. Nice views overlooking Southbank, Casino, and the city, from the living area as well as the bedrooms (one bedroom faces East, the other bedroom has more floor to ceiling windows and faces North and East). The thick windows/balcony door helped to minimise city noise (although you can still hear a little bit, which is to be expected when you are in a busy city). Air conditioning was quick to cool down the apartment. There is also a fan (and heater) in the bedrooms, which we didn’t use. Shower water pressure was sufficient. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were available for use Security in the building was great. Fob key to enter the building, and again for the elevator. Lobby area and elevators were always clean. Check in and check out was very easy with clear, detailed instructions (with photos)

Really great spot that we enjoyed. Awesome views of the city off the balcony and everything you need in the apartment. Nice rooftop space and a pool underneath which we utilised well. It is a prime location with a short walk to the city and 20 minute walk to Rod Laver. Woolworths and bottle-o just around the corner. Only thing I would note is the sofa bed may need an upgrade. It is sleep able, but not overly comfy and after 3 nights that was long enough. Please note it is not a huge issue though 😊 Thanks for the stay!
