Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rowville

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

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

We had a great weekend family stay at Brian's farm. We felt welcomed, the accommodation was clean and had great views. The serounding was beautiful and peaceful. We will surely be back again!

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.

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!

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 a great time at Ollie’s place. Convenient location for exploring all over the peninsula and just enough space for the family.

A short stay but we found Erland Beach house so clean, comfortable & convenient with just a short walk to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at Jo & Mark’s place. The apartment had everything we needed for our several nights stay. The location is excellent, quiet but right next to lots of restaurants and shops and walkable to the tram line. Would definitely stay again!

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!

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.

Lovely quiet cottage in a beautiful location. Lots to do in the local area. Greeted by Luca the friendly dog, and Tony and Jacky were wonderful hosts who went over and above by providing homemade bread and cake!

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.

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 really enjoyed our short stay for a few days out of Melbourne. Lovely location just walking distance from a pub that had delicious meals. Was perfect for the wind down we needed. Excellent quality bedding making it very comfortable stay. The breakfast goods and freshly baked bread was a nice touch and greatly appreciated. The owners were very responsive and considerate. Highly recommended.
