Family-friendly vacation rentals in South Bruny

Absolutely stunning place and location! Nel and Lorne were amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They had thought of all the little things to make us feel welcome and it truly felt like we were staying with friends…like a home away from home. We arrived to the smell of fresh bread baking, and found a loaf baking in the bread oven. Nel had even left us a jar of her homemade raspberry jam, which was to die for! We fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves which was absolutely magical and so peaceful. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! Would 100% recommend and would love to come back sometime!

Great view and had a fun and relaxing time using the spa after a long day of sight seeing in wintery Hobart. Thanks for having us Sean!

Brian was a fantastic host and the home is just a beautiful environment to be in. A short walk away from Sandy Bay shops and beach. Would definitely recommend

A wonderful stay, the spa on the deck was particularly fun for our kids, and we loved the wood fire. Warm and cosy stay with beautiful views of the bay.

Beautiful equipped home which is just what I needed travelling with kids. Stairs were steep which didn't worry mine but maybe worth being mindful of for small children. So close to town, everything in walking distance and a great selection of food options very close. Never had a problem getting parking near the house for our car. Hosts reached out a few times to ask needs and preferences before we arrived and even let us know the place was ready earlier in the day than check in. Great experience.

This was the perfect Hobart home from home for a mid-winter stay. On previous trips to Hobart I've generally stayed in the Battery Point / Sandy Bay area, but I discovered on this trip that North Hobart is a delight - the Elizabeth St strip is a new fave. Would stay again without hesitation. The pictures don't do justice to how well and thoughtfully the house has been equipped, and the quality of fittings and furnishings. We were a group of 7, which normally would mean that at least a few people draw a short straw and have to take an inferior room, but this is one of those rare houses where ALL the bedrooms are lovely - and all have big, comfortable beds. There were even dressing gowns and slippers for everyone! The heating is super effective, the hot tub is a delight, the kitchen is large and well equipped, there's a coffee machine with plenty of pods, and Tom & Cate left various goodies for us as a welcome. They were also super responsive and flexible at all times. 5 stars!

Beautiful old world cottage in centre of historic Richmond near cafes & easy walking tours. Modernised bathroom, everything sparkling clean. Thoughtful host supplied breakfast. A peaceful garden to relax in, highly recommended.

We absolutely adored our stay at this charming garden cottage in Glebe. It’s the perfect blend of cozy and quaint, with beautiful touches that made us feel instantly at home. Nestled in a quiet, leafy spot yet close to all the best Hobart has to offer, it was a peaceful and warm retreat after days of exploring. Our host was incredibly welcoming—sharing fascinating local history and giving us great recommendations for places to eat, shop, and explore. We especially loved hearing about the cottage’s past and how lovingly it’s been maintained. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and heartfelt Tasmanian experience. Thank you!

Lovely and clean, quite, private accommodation. It was great that our fur baby was allowed inside. Fresh lemons on the bench, which were nice in my tea and Ros was very easy to communicate with. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone.

This was such a beautiful place to stay. Mieke’s property is gorgeous, and we felt right at home in the Mountain Nest. Hard to believe you’re only 10min drive from the centre of Hobart! Thank you so much Mieke for hosting us and for being such a lovely host. We will be back 😊

One of the best places I've stayed at - very special location. Only issue we had was a contankerous TV remote which froze and required the unit be reset continuously - otherwise a perfect property.

We enjoyed the house and area for an extended family trip. Lots of room and activities at the house. Kids loved the painting spot, and the short walk to fish off the jetty. Some nice foreshore walks, with a well formed track to Verona Sands. Thanks

Had a beautiful weekend at the cottage! Loved the wood fire, views, walking on the beach. Very clean place with lovely comfy king bed and beautiful quality linen!

You can tell Jill has put a lot of thought into ensuring her place is comfortable and has many amenities provided for guests。 She personally came to greet us when we arrived and also before we left. The bedroom is a bit chilly but the bed is so comfortable and has electric blankets - it was hard leaving the bed the next morning! It’s also very close to a nice waterfront walking trail. The slope to the house is rather steep but parking was relatively easy. Would recommend!

Beautiful, peaceful place . Close proximity to cafes, restaurants, Shops , Salamanca markets, Battery point . Great host . Wonderful historic place . Set back in time with all modern amenities in the house . Does not get much better!!! Thanks Nicole.

Pristine property and location, warm, vibrant and cosy. Kayaks, fire pit and coffee machine is more than we needed to keep our family busy for a long winter weekend retreat. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location for family or friends to get together. Literally walk out the door onto a beautiful beach. Plenty of outdoor amenities available incl swimming pool, tennis, basketball hoop, billiards, kayaks etc. Quiet and peaceful area, but close to airport and to Hobart so very convenient. Great communication from Julie in advance who also met us on arrival and showed us in. Thank you for a great stay.

Thanks a lot for your warmth and friendly welcome. We will come back again. Absolutely loved the experience.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was great. The location next to the river was beautiful. The cottage contained everything we could wish for and was very comfortable.

The stay was exactly what we wanted, cosy apartment for two with a bedroom each. The kitchen was everything we needed and extremely functional. The passcode entry was perfect as we didn’t need to worry about forgetting keys or making sure someone was always there when the other was out. Jodi and Lindsay were extremely responsive and conversations always felt personal as they were invested in why we travelled to Tasmania.

Jodi's apartment is at the best location, vrry close to a great cafe, grocery stores, bus stop and moonah shops. Best thing is private car parking which is hard to find with other air bnb places. You can view beautiful mount Wellington from the bedrooms, and living room gets cozy by sunshine during the day. Jodi was kind enough to give us quick tour of the house on checking-in, and also let us stay an extra hour before checking out. Thank you Jodi for letting us stay at your lovely place.

Fantastic place to stay. pool is great. having a complimentary car is the best seats 8! perfect for my large family.
