Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sawmill Settlement

Amazing place, amazing hosts. Been staying at Merrijig for many years and this is one of the best homes we’ve stayed in. Kind hosts with complementary food and drinks that were left for us at check-in. Very strongly recommend.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Fiona & Lar’s Merlewood. Our accommodation was spotless, & very cosy. The roomy cottage was surrounded by beautiful peaceful Australian countryside. Bed was incredibly comfortable and large. Nights were spent cooking a meal, followed by a spa one night, and movie. Mornings were enjoyed taking in the beautiful sun filled view from every room after opening the blinds. Followed by a walk up the back hill, a sit on the deck, a sight seeing by car to Alexandra for lunch at the large cafe there, and enjoyed hiring a kayak at Jerusalem Creek to paddle around Eildon weir. Another day we drove to Yarck and purchased some essential oiled natural skin products at DINDI. There was also Op shop visits in Alexandra & Yea where we found a couple of bargains. This is the perfect place for a couple to unwind, & take in the scenery & tranquility, and use as a base to explore the region. Thanks Fiona & Lars making this lovely stay possible.

We loved staying at Snow Gum Creek. It was quiet and picturesque and we enjoyed the wildlife visiting close by including kangaroos, king parrots and other birdlife, deer. There was easy access to the local creek and walks. Nic and Stef provided a very thoughtful suggested itinery for potential activities and eating places in the area. They were very responsive and helpful when we contacted them.

We had a wonderful stay, very cozy space, perfect for 2. Spa was an added bonus and beautiful views from the garden. Close to town and beautiful surroundings. Lauren was lovely and very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would love to return one day!

Beautiful location that we and our dog loved. So peaceful and relaxing - the perfect way to escape the city for a couple of days. And the cottage itself was super cute but had everything we needed.

We had a fantastic stay at Peak 202 over Easter for a family wedding—John was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect. Just steps from the village and Chamois ski run, the location couldn’t be better. The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows were stunning, and the space was warm, welcoming, and well-equipped. Our family felt completely at home with three spacious bedrooms, a spa bath, drying room, full laundry, and a great kitchen with everything from a Nespresso machine to a dishwasher. The gas fireplace, Smart TVs, free WiFi, and heated balcony with BBQ made it extra cozy and convenient. Keyless entry and thoughtful extras like games and a secure parking space really stood out. Everything was spotless, stylish, and designed with comfort in mind. Thanks, John, for a memorable and seamless stay—we’ll definitely return to Peak 202!

Rudawe lodge was exactly as it was described. Perfect for our occasion. John was very helpful and ran us through everything as we arrived.

Sherpa's Rest is a lovely spot for an Alpine getaway- very close to Mount Buller and other attractions in the area. The property itself is very comfortable and in a beautiful setting. Phil was a great host - very friendly, responsive and flexible about check-in and checkout times. Thanks, Phil!

Melinda's place is perfectly situated in a quiet cul-de-sac just a block from the main street with its restaurants, cafes and pubs - and the best bookshop on NE Victoria! The house fronts a beautiful garden and everything inside is as you see in the photos - warm, comfortable, clean and welcoming. Melinda is a great host - unobtrusive but on-hand if you need anything. Communication and entry were very straightforward and easy. We highly recommend Creekside!

Really enjoyed my stay. The house was clean and had all the amenities I required. It was centrally located and I will definitely book again next time I am in town.

The house was every bit as described, it felt like a home away from home. Tim was inviting and accepting of pets, most say they are but have massive restrictions in place, Tim allowed us to have our fur family member included in the whole experience. I can not reccomend this accomodation enough.

Our large extended family (5 adults, 3 children and one dog) had a wonderful stay at Rosedale. It was absolutely perfect for our needs and was warm and cosy with many thoughtful touches. The gardens are beautiful and the setting perfect, just a short cycle ride from Mansfield and a perfect to end our family trip along the Great Victorian Rail Trail.

Great place with friendly hosts. Will definitely spend more time at this place whenever possible.

Great home that sleeps many people. Very clean. Beautiful views. Communication was impressive and extremely easy to deal with.

This stay truly exceeded our expectations. The peaceful countryside life here is absolutely enchanting. Carl and Donna gave us such a warm welcome — they provided clear guidance and were kind enough to chat with us and share the local history of Jamieson, which we found really fascinating. The cottage was clean, cozy, and full of charm, with a lovely backyard to relax or play in. You can really tell they put heart and care into what they do. If only we could give more than five stars — it truly deserves more. And the autumn scenery here… absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of such an inspiring lifestyle

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at Jamieson River House. Loved curling up on the comfy couches in front of the woodfire stove and watching all the birdlife in the big garden with direct access to the river. Kitchen was superbly well equipped and the house is easy walking distance to the pub and general store. Such a peaceful location to fully unwind!

This is a great place to stay, definitely recommend. The people are great and very friendly, which makes you feel right at home when away from home.

Great host! I forgot my snow mask case and Gennie found it and call me to pick it up! Thanks for responsive host!

Wonderful cosy little private cabin for family of four with enough amenities to cook. Will definitely stay here again when we're headed to Mt. Buller.

I was stuck in Bendigo at 9:30 pm without accommodation as I didn't realise an event was occurring that booked out all accommodation within a 2-hour driving radius of the town. I found Brooke's place, booked, and advised that I wouldn't arrive until close to midnight. The instant response was come along and we will see you then. Brooke stayed up late, waited for me, and took me up to the accommodation. This was very much appreciated as I had driven from Melbourne and needed to sleep. The room was lovely and clean with a very comfortable bed and Brooke allowed me to stay up to 1:00 pm if I chose as the room wasn't booked for the next day. I ended up leaving at 8:00 am however it was very kind to have the offer of extra sleep-in time. I cannot thank Brooke enough for this exceptional service. AAA+ on customer service, facilities, and communication.

Narelle was incredibly easy to contact and responded quickly, making the booking process seamless. The house itself was amazing spacious, clean, and well equipped. The highlight was definitely the beautiful farm setting, with cows and chickens roaming freely. Sitting at the dining table while watching the cows walk past was such a peaceful and unique experience. The rooms and bathroom were generously sized, offering plenty of comfort, and the pool was a fantastic addition for relaxation. The entire stay was truly enjoyable, and we felt so connected to nature. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you Narelle once again.

Absolutely adored our stay here. It was the perfect space for our pre-wedding prep - thank you to Leanne and David for being so welcoming and accomodating to having our wedding photos on their gorgeous property and lots of other cars present on Saturday morning. The property is stunning, the cottage is gorgeous and with the backdrop of the cathedral ranges, you cannot get much better than this. Izzy, the black lab, really topped it off requiring infinite pats (which we were VERY happy to provide!). Thank you so much Leanne and David!

Had a great stay here, loved the area and Brooke was very hospitality and helpful. Will definitely be coming back again.

Easy going and easy to book. Late checkout granted which was kind of them. Will fish out some better deals next time for the same place.
