Family-friendly vacation rentals in Scamander

If you are looking for an amazing family retreat on the Eastern Coast then book this house now (if you can!). We cannot recommend it highly enough. We had brilliant communication and advice from Sally prior to arrival with lots of invaluable tips on making our stay better. The house is beautifully designed and immensely comfortable. I have never come across a better equipped kitchen in a B&B before. This is very clearly a family home and lots of love has gone into making it comfortable. Outside is truly special, with the most incredible ocean-front setting. The house is surrounded by the ocean on 3 sides, giving a constant backdrop of waves crashing on the shore. The ocean constantly changes colour mesmerically throughout the day, and is particularly spectacular at sunrise in front the house. The wildlife is amazing; wallabies, possums, eagles, swallows, plovers and cicadas. So much to see and do in the neighbourhood to fill your days - a week is not enough. Book it if you can!!

Our family had a wonderful time x excellent location, quick walk to the shop and beach! Plenty of space for us all. Wonderful, friendly communication. we would love to return for another stay and highly recommend it 😊

Incredible spot and well equipped property. We loved sitting on the balcony in the sunshine and BBQing for dinner. Good selection of kitchenware, lots of storage in the bedrooms and blinds all around to keep the room cool. Things we don't always see in an Airbnb, so thank you!

Thank you for hosting us. Very spacious cottage, kids loved the cottage and space around the cottage to ride their kick scooter. Reception staff and Rob are very responsive, attended to the bathroom door issue immediately. Eatery and bar in walking distance. Highly recommend Rob’s place! We will book in next time too when visiting the area.

Very unique, thoughtfully designed house with beautiful views. Warm and cosy with lots to enjoy on the property. We especially loved the feel and usability of the kitchen, enjoyed the outdoor bath and felt inspired by the greenhouse! Thanks for having us :)

Comfortable cottage with everything we needed. The location is ideal for a few days exploring the east coast. Communications with the host was easy.

Our trip was short and sweet - but we wish we had booked longer! Location and accommodation was simply stunning, couldn't have asked for more. Lots of little touches that made us feel relaxed and in holiday-mode! Thanks for having us!

Very happy with the place. Lovely charm and plenty of things to do.

A well-appointed house in a lovely, peaceful location. Everything you need is provided.

The "Green House" dubbed by my kids is a quaint historical cottage at the seaside town of St Helens. It's on the main road, but traffic wasn't a bother. We have 3 kids under 6yrs old and I felt we were noisy cz the neighbourhood was quiet. Fully fenced and secure with a gate *no garage. We were happy for the kids to play wild and free outdoors exploring the apple tree and the deck. Inside was spacious; 3 good sized bedrooms with comfy beddings, living room with an island table/dining. Kitchen was well equipped and had some condiments avail *salt, pepper, oil, tea, sugar, coffee. There were portable heating for use and split system in the living room complete with smart TV *Netflix avail. There were toys and books to keep the kids occupied. Bathroom had a claw tub which everyone enjoyed. Location is central to the beautiful white sandy beaches and the spectacular orange rocks of Bay of Fires, The Gardens and Binalong Bay and the many waterfall walks nearby. Town centre ~10min walk.

Beautiful large, airy and spacious house . Views from both the bedroom windows and from the lower front deck. Fully fenced nice private yard, great for dogs! Lovely outdoor seating area on front and back verandas. Walking distance to the beach.

Catherine’s home is terrific: lovely, within walking distance of places to eat (we loved the RSL); the kitchen was NOT too small-there was plenty of room for both of us with a well-stocked pantry with olive oil, vinegar, a variety of spices, mustards…it is in easy driving distance of so many places to eat/see. We wouldn’t hesitate to say “just book it”. You’ll be glad you did

A cosy well appointed beach house. Super clean and tidy, cosy, love the art and design of the interior. A lot of effort has gone into making this place feel like a true beachside holiday. A wonderful selection of books to read... we would have been happy even if it was cold and raining outside, to be able to stay indoors in the cosy accommodation with a cup of tea and read the books. The best place to relax. Dog friendly too. our Lagotto loves it at Redruth. We will be back.

We love Lara's place in Bicheno. This was the second time we stayed in Lara's house. It is a beautiful spot and the house is so well appointed. It all makes for a very relaxing stay!

We have stayed at many places in Derby and this one certainly did not disappoint. We felt warm and cosy from the minute we arrived. We had everything and more that was needed for a relaxing stay. A favourite for us was the proximity to the river (and pretty much everything) and the easiness of the kids heading off for rides out the back gate, nowhere near the road! Perfect. The outside verandah was a lovely place to sit and have a quiet morning coffee, plenty of sunshine and places to sit and breathe in the fresh air. Heating was excellent, although it was not cold at all while we were there, we still used the fan heater occasionally. We loved that there were plenty of blankets as well. Fab shower and bathroom, with a lovely little view, much appreciated shower at the end of a busy day on the trails.

Rustic but clean and functional. Mitch was a helpful and friendly host. Close to the pub and within reachable distance to the shuttles. Good bike storage and tool facilities. Good clothes washer for post ride cleaning up. Can recommend staying here.

I would give six stars (if I could) for our stay at Jan's place. It is a nicely updated and well furnished house perched on a hill that affords a scenic view of Binalong bay. We found the unit to be very clean and well provisioned for a five day stay. From the house, a five minute walk will get you to Binalong Beach where one can swim in tranlucent turquois water and walk along long white sand beach. Ten minute drive from the house will get you to downtown St. Helenes where great coffeeshops and restaurants abounds. We ate at many of these eateries and all were good to excellent. A bit longer scenic drive , may be 20 min from the house, will get you to a beautiful and friendly winery where one can sample seven different types of high qauality wines at 15 AUD per person. If you feel like splurging, buy a bottle of 2016 Pinot Noir and drink this elegant wine on the deck while watching the waves landing on the beach. Book this place and collect wondeful memories.

The house is lovely, very comfy, spotless, and well appointed. Plenty of parking and a great outdoor space. The hosts really appear to care about quality and they are very approachable and responsive. This was our second stay and it was as good as the first, and there is likely to be a third visit in the future!

Wonderful stay. All you could ask for with all the amenities you need. Great location and really comfortable beds and bedding. Wendy’s place was spotless, everything was sparkling.

perfect place to stay in Derby with a group. the house is well located and has everything you need. thank you so much for the hospitality.

We had a fantastic stay in this beautifully located home, with stunning views and direct access to a pristine beach. The house is spotless, very comfortable, and extremely well equipped. Communication with Lauren was smooth and responsive from start to finish. We warmly recommend this place!
