Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southbank

Willies was great with communication! The apartment had everything we needed! He would check in to make sure we were all okay and if we needed anything at all! He let us go into the apartment 3 hours early! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Henfry’s place was the perfect base for our trip to Melbourne. Henfry left clear instructions for parking, check in and the apartment’s amenities. We really enjoyed the pool! We had a very positive experience and would happily stay again.

Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

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

We enjoyed our time in South Yarra and Jennis place was great. Close to main train and tram ways. Great having a Woolies in the building was awesome Thanks Jenni, appreciate it

Very hospitable stay. The host was very friendly and had shared clear instructions. was very flexible with the check in and check out

Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

Great little 2 bedroom apartment in a lovely renovated older art deco style building. We really enjoyed our stay (mum, dad and 2 x teenage sons). Very close to public transport and all the shops at St Kilda, Luna Park and the Breakwater. Only a short tram ride into the markets or the city or MCG. We really enjoyed our time here, was a good base for our adventures. This suburb is what I picture when I think of Melbourne.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the uniqueness of the place. Jo was super helpful when we had any questions.

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Fantastic location! Walk to toorak rd and chapel st and great food. Easy walk to train. Great little place

We had a great time at Eva’s and enjoyed sitting by the fire place and relaxing. It was very close to the tram line which made a trip into the city very easy and fun for the kids. The house was very clean and had all that we needed for our stay.

Thanks Katherine, your place was great. Perfect location and everything we needed to be comfortable. Many thanks

Central location with great views! Check-in went smoother than I expected and the apartment was stocked with all the basics. Location was super walkable and convenient. Would definitely opt for this place again!

I really like this homestay. The location is very good. It is located in the city center. The transportation is very convenient. The tram and bus are downstairs. It is a few minutes walk. There are all kinds of food nearby. The homestay is fully equipped. The room is clean and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped. It is as convenient as at home.

Wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend to anyone. Clean and spacious, comfy beds and the host really has thought of everything! Nice walk to cafes, parks, trams and buses. Not too long into the city and surrounding attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

Such a beautiful space, great location, easy to find and the sunrises were incredible. The only negative would be the office building directly in front of the balcony which doesn’t allow a lot of privacy. But if on a weekend should be fine.

Tony’s apartment was fantastic! The panoramic views of Melbourne’s skyline were absolutely breathtaking—we couldn’t get enough of the cityscape day or night. The full kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and the spacious layout was perfect for our family. Located in the heart of South Bank, everything was within walking distance. A truly memorable stay—we’d love to return!

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Wow! Location, location, location, and views forever! Everything in Melbourne is right at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are just amazing, and floor to ceiling windows ensure you can take full advantage of the views and the position. There is a supermarket, liquor store, an amazing food court, and shops just downstairs. Trams are just across the street. So convenient. Sam is an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, and he responded to our queries almost immediately. I can recommend Sam’s apartment to anyone who visits Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing location and building. Me and my son stayed there for the F1 weekend and it was perfect to get to the track. It was also very close to nice restaurants and not far from the city or St Kilda beach. The neighbourhood is beautiful, as is the building and the apartment. Natalia is a super host, very accommodating and easy to communicate with. 5 stars all around.
