Family-friendly vacation rentals in South-East Melbourne

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean, great appliances. As described. Thank you

Had a great time at Glenys' place. Very close to town centre and walking trails. Was perfect size for two adults and two kids. Glenys provided us with some great recommendations for things to see and do in the area. Would definitely stay here again next time we are visiting the area.

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

Had a great stay at Carolyn’s suite. Everything was lovely and exactly what we needed.

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 :)

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.

We had a wonderful day. It was very relaxing. The house was amazing very private and close to all amenities that we needed. Highly recommend this little Home away from home.

Beautiful and peaceful location. Cute place for a short stay. Great spot!

Great place to stay, easy walk into town. Photos matched the pictures and very clean house. Would recommend.

Lovely stay. Kristina was easy to communicate with and provided everything you could need for a getaway and more. Nice, clean, cozy place and a short drive to all the local beaches, hot springs and restaurants.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Coast Nest, it felt like a home away from home. Very quiet surroundings, with the choice of two decks to sit with a cup of tea and listen to the native birds. Comfortable beds and couches. Was wonderful to be able to bring our dog on holiday too - 10 min walk to a fantastic dog beach. Thanks Heather!

Our 5th time staying. We love our 7-10 min walk to beach, 7-10 min walk to playground and local cafes/grocery. Private yard, everything we need, very responsive hosts.

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.

Such a lovely home. Walkable to local shops, beautiful backyard for kids and hanging out. We loved the house. Very retro vibes and comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Our family had a lovely time. The house felt very comfortable and ‘homely’ right away. Our young kids particularly enjoyed access to the grassy backyard and sandpit as well as the picture books on the bookshelf. A really convenient, safe and quiet location. The instruction booklet in the entry way also provided lots of information about the area which was helpful and thoughtful. We would highly recommend it! Thanks Claire and Rhys!

We travelled with our two young kids and Stew’s place was the perfect retreat. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Stew was friendly and gave us some great tips of things to do, see and eat around the area. The cottage was also very clean and comfortable - we would certainly stay again!

A great place to stay in Melbourne - close to the city centre (restaurants, the river) but also easy to walk to South Melbourne (market, parks, seaside). Spacious and well-appointed apartment with all we needed for a comfortable stay. Alix and Taj were great communicators with plenty of relevant information before and during our stay.

We had a lovely relaxing time, the house was spotless with everything you would need to make your stay comfortable. Loved looking outside just watching the animals and wildlife. Michelle greeted us which was lovely and there was freshly laid eggs and milk in the fridge. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

Saltwater Villa exceeded our expectations in so many areas. It has lots of living spaces, good sized bedrooms and nice bathrooms. The house is a classic example of art deco architecture and is furnished sympathetically with lovely inclusions. We were a group of 7 and everyone loved the house. Tamara is very responsive. I am hoping we will return one day.

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.

this house was amazing for our three active families! there was a pool, table tennis, futsal, air hockey and then in the extended back yard a play ground, sand pit, cricket pitch, soccer, footy, tennis and an aquatic centre. A short drive we had the beach! too much to do and too little time. The loving and dining spaces were top notch. We loved this house!

Stunning and peaceful place
