Family-friendly vacation rentals in West Melbourne

Thankyou Alix & Taj, we loved your place, unfortunately for us we didn't get to experience it fully as were at a conference from early till late. We do hope to comeback and enjoy again soon. Carolyn, Laura, Patty & Kristina.

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

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.

Tikali was a great host and the place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in town

What a view! Alex’s place is in the perfect location - a tram stop outside, Southern Cross at the corner and the whole of the CBD within walking distance. The apartment was well laid out and felt spacious for two couples. Would absolutely stay here again.

Nick and Harriet were great hosts. Prompt communication and clear instructions for the apartment. The apartment was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a great time in Melbourne with the kids. Location was excellent and access to the pool and other amenities in the building was a bonus. We will come back here next time we come down. Thanks Nick and Harriet.

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.

The stay here was perfect. I stayed with my bridal party the night before my wedding and it had everything we needed. Nancy was also very friendly and responsive which made the booking and checking in process seamless.

Bricks was a perfect home away from home for our family whilst visiting Melbourne. Myki cards were at the house for us to use for public transport access which was fantastic. A short walk to food outlets, supermarkets and the train station. Karena and Rob were great at communicating and checked up on us after our arrival to ensure we had settled in. Highly recommend! Thanks K&R for a great stay!

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!

Jo's place is lovely, we are lucky enough to know the area really well. Being this central, in such a cool and funky place was amazing. the fact that we could bring our beloved senior pups was absolutely invaluable. we hope to be able to stay again one day.

We felt instantly at home at Alison’s house. It was styled so beautiful and everything was neat, tidy and functional. My mum, Dad, partner & daughter all stay for my birthday/Easter long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. We visited the local wine bar, cafes, local restaurants etc. It was also wonderful to be able to bring our little dog along for the stay too. It meant a lot to me he was able to join us for my birthday. Beds were all super comfortable, and we all commented on how well we slept. It was so lovely sitting out in the garden in the mornings having a coffees together and spending quality, memorable time together. I highly recommend this house if you want to spend some relaxing quality time with those you love, or just be in a home with great energy.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! Simon and Ru are amazing hosts-were very friendly and helpful!The place felt very homely and comfortable, making it easy to settle in. It was incredibly well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The neighborhood was lovely—quiet, safe, and convenient for exploring the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely choose to stay again on our next visit. Highly recommended!

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!

Lovely little apartment with everything you need for a great weekend. Walking distance to most Melbourne attractions. 25 metre indoor lap pool and gym made sure we stayed active.

Excellent stay for a group of us girlfriends that went out for dinner and drinks. There was an issue with one of the toilets not flushing when we arrived, however Sam the host responded immediately and had a team come in to have it fixed promptly.

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.

We lived our stay at Rivergardens. The apartment was spectacular with every amenity you could want. The apartment is beautifully furnished with quality fittings and decor. The two bathrooms were amazing and we wanted to move in permanently! Julie was very proactive with instructions, helpful tips and things to do in and around Melbourne. There was lots of little personal touches to make us feel welcome which was a nice touch. We would definitely stay at Rivergardens again and can’t recommend it more highly.

Wonderful stay! The location was top notch, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was kind and responsive—highly recommend!"

Eric couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. Their starter kitchen breakfast was perfect and delicious. The house was spotlessly clean, and the bedding extremely comfortable. We’d flown over from Scotland, so comfort was important. I would highly recommend staying here.
