Family-friendly vacation rentals in Waratah Bay

Absolutely loved our stay at this air bnb. We are a family of 3, with a 1 year old. It was the perfect base to explore many of the family friendly activities on the peninsula, and a fantastic place to unwind between exploring. Our daughter loved the goats, cows and exploring the gorgeous gardens. Caitlyn was very responsive, and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Honestly wish we had booked a longer stay, so will definitely be back!

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

We had a great time during our stay at Tee Tree Hill. The house has a nice, cosy feel and is in a great location within walking distance to the beach. The house has everything you need and we very much appreciated the complementary Port too. Thanks very much Dan Greg

This place was pure magic! Despite the strong winds we got, it remained peaceful, and our nights were warm, romantic, and beyond perfect. The setup was cozy and beautifully designed with spotless white bedding. If you're looking for a dreamy glamping escape, this is it!

Brilliant weekend away with family. Place looked just like the photos. Lots of things to do at the property as well as being very spacious. Would definitely recommend and somewhere we would book again if we head back to Phillip Island.

A wonderful quite secluded Cabin amongst natural bushland and wildlife such as wallabies and native birds. only 10min walk to the beach. Enjoyed having a charcoal BBQ in the undercover verandah and wood heater warmed the place up nicely. Will definitely be staying again in the future.

Debbie's place should be a go to, if you're thinking of heading to Phillip Island. Great place and amazing, central location. Debbie is also very helpful and communicative.

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.

This Airbnb exceeded all expectations—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The host was welcoming and responsive, making check-in seamless. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, from amenities to local tips. A perfect stay in a perfect location. I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation!

Felt like staying with family, the house has everything. No detail was spared. The bath towels are soft and fluffy, the cupboards are full of games for the family to play, the Coffee machine was stocked with enough pods for our whole stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Jeremy’s and Hazel place. All of the activities we had planned were within a short drive. The house was comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen. The space is friendly for children with plenty of games and puzzles as well as the garden. We enjoyed having our meals on the balcony.

Amazing location, easy walk to the beach, close to both Cowes and the Penguin Parade. Exactly as described and host was very responsive.

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!

I had an amazing stay at Helen's place. She was very friendly and let me have early checkin which was fantastic. I would totally recommend her place to others. Thank you

My friend group of 10 and myself absolutely loved out stay at this place. The house was everything we wished for and more. It was in such a fantastic location within walking distance to everything we needed (shops, beach, etc) and the house itself was incredible. So much to do inside with lots of options including pool table, table tennis, basketball, swing set, xbox and more. I would definitely recommend this stay.

Our second time staying at Rebecca’s lovely place in Shoreham. Such a cosy, homely place to stay. Plenty of room for our family of 5.

We stayed for the long weekend. It was a family get away. The house was beautiful, spacious, clean. It has a beautiful pool and spa. It had all you need to cook if you feel like it. Had lots of games for young and old. Location was great, close to shops, beach or go for a beautiful walk. We could not fault anything. Definitely recommend Jenine’s place you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back again but next time for a longer stay. Thank you once again Jenine. We give you 5 stars

We have stayed at Jodie's place 2 or 3 times now, my kids love it, we walk to the beach in the morning and if hot enough, pool for rest of the day. It has everything that suits us as a family including the oval and skate park across the road.

The accommodation was a perfect size. Main bedroom is great, large with its own bathroom and enclosed outside area. Shared bedrooms maybe a bit small but they're just for sleeping anyway. Plenty of living space, an extra area for kids. Lots of toys and games and a billiard table. The swim spa wasn't heating for us but Chris the host did warn us due to unforeseen circumstances and offered a refund if we wished to cancel. Very close to a beautiful enclosed beach, not very busy and good for swimming. Far enough away from 5he bustle of Cowes centre but close enough to walk or drive in for supplies. Chris was very prompt in replying. Overall, a very good experience and I recommend this accommodation for groups or families. Thank you Chris for offering your place.

The house was ideal for our large family, it was a fairly long drive to the beach and the road in is too narrow for our liking. That didn’t bother the rest of the family though. They all won’t to go back next year! I appreciated Nikki’s quick response to a couple of issues and the fact she was easy to contact.

Highly recommend. From enquiry to end of stay, our experience was nothing but positive. Jo was the most delightful host. Her love for the property and joy for others to experience it was felt throughout all of her communications. Everything was proactively explained in detail. The property was peaceful, spacious, a luxurious rural retreat. It was equipped with every item that you would need. Even carrots to feed the horses! The veranda wraps around the beautiful weatherboard homestead with the main feature being the solar heated infinity edge pool. An outstanding space to take in the surrounds and let life pass you by. Mitch and Co, a 5minute drive away offered delicious coffee. Mount Martha market and beach for a little outing. However, it is hard to peel yourself away from the homestead. Days basking by the pool. Nights of bbqs and kids playing cricket in the gorgeous tree lined driveway. Lifetime memories have been made. Thank you Jo for allowing us to enjoy your property

Delightful place to stay for a few days and very convenient to our family's home. There was plenty of extras in the pantry and bathroom which was great. The sitting room was beautiful and so relaxing after a busy time during the day. Being such hot weather while we were there the pool was a welcome place to cool off. Great location close to shops and Canadian beach - a quiet family beach, was just down the road.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Mount Martha! As a family of 10 (5 adults and 5 kids), we couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our week. The house was spacious, spotless, and so thoughtfully appointed with everything we could possibly need. We all loved the facilities - the pool, spa, trampoline, table tennis, and pool table and loved having plenty of spaces to relax and unwind. There was room for everyone to hang out together or enjoy some quiet time, which made the stay so enjoyable for all of us. A special shoutout to Tracy, who was an incredible host. She was so responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Her attention to detail and quick communication made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We’d give this home more than five stars if we could—it was perfect for our big family and made our trip so memorable. Highly recommend and would stay again for sure.

Shushana’s place was one of the best- peaceful location, heated pool, luxury bath, comfortable bed, etc. She even prepared some fruits soy n cow milks and coffee beans plus healthy muesli. I had chronic insomnia and I had a such good sleep in that bed that I bought the same pillow and even looking to buy a quality mattress topper as good sleep is so important to me. It was such pleasure meeting her and her lovely kids too. My Mungchi (toy poodle) was happy there! All the best
