Waterfront apartment rentals

Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
Very convenient location, clean and tidy apartment that matches exactly the photos are! Will definitely come back to stay again next time in Melbourne!

Riverside Suite
Wonderful stay at Teah and Matt's place! Beautiful apartment with amazing views! Close to all the sights, restaurants and trams to explore the city. The trains can be noisy but we were tired so fell into background for sleeping. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Waterfront Southbank Sanctuary by the Yarra River
The best things are it's central location and great view. it's just next to Melbourne CBD and a relatively new and modern apartment building. washer and dryer work really well. There are slight imperfections: assigned carpark is on the 9th floor, and like a lot of Airbnb, minor defects that are not fixed, utensils and cutlery are mixed and incomplete. But these didn't stop us from enjoying the place. Will highly recommend if you like a place comfortable for 5 people and you can walk to CBD easily.

Beach side, cozy Apartment
what a beautiful little gem of an apartment 😍 thank you Lynnette this was exactly what we were looking for during our short stay in Melbourne. The apartment had everything we needed and was right on the bay! perfect spot to walk and wind down before a major operation. 🥰🥰🏖

Docklands Harbour Views w/ Parking, Pool, Gym, Wif
Very tidy unit with good bedding. Nice outlook and very close to transport.

Spacious 3 Bed Apt with Stunning River/City Views
The place is just same as the photos and descriptions! Cozy living, stunning view, many restaurants surrounded and most importantly, super nice location! Would definitely recommend!

Riverside Apartment with Balcony
Staying at Sandy’s Airbnb was a fantastic experience! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, convenient and close to everything. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay!

Can confidently say that i will be a returning guest , without even thinking twice. HIGHLY recommended A+++++ 👌😁

Spacious large family house and garden
We loved this house!!! Lauren has done a beautiful job of furnishing and decorating this old 70s house. From the front, the street appeal isn't great but that doesn't matter at all once you enter. It's VERY spacious, stylish, comfortable and homely. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, Lauren even provides multiple towels for each guest which is so lovely when having a longer stay! It's the small, thoughtful touches like this that can make a huge difference.. There are books and games for both kids and adults alike. Lauren is so helpful and friendly, and was always quick to respond. Despite being an older house, we can't fault our stay, we absolutely loved it and would happily return. Thank you so much Lauren!!

The Parkview Retreat
Great to communicate with. Comfortable house and pleasant stay. Great place. Thank you.

Rare Absolute Beachfront Retreat 4BR Family Haven
My family from NZ really enjoyed staying at the house. It was right on the beach and one block from where I live, so really convenient. Big house with lots of bedrooms. Air hockey and Xbox for kids. Danielle was very helpful and flexible with accommodating our group. Thanks

Family Cityside Beach House, Pool & Roof Terrace
Thanks to lovely Rebecca for a wonderful stay. Our family of four spent three great weeks here and the location and house itself was unbeatable. So much thought was placed into each room; from cutlery and toys for the kids to ample towels as well as beach towels! Kitchen is extremely well equipped and there was even a brand new BBQ. We had one tiny concern that Rebecca immediately assisted us with and for that, we appreciated her prompt help. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Waterside Elegance Tranquil Villa | Free Parking
Great place to stay for a larger group of people, plenty of space and amenities! The off-street parking was also a bonus. The local area is peaceful, quiet and some great cafes nearby! The communication from our host was exceptional with no detail spared. The ease of requesting a later check-out was truly appreciated! We’ll be reaching out to the host for future visits to Melbourne.

Waterside Place - Upscale River Precinct
Beautiful house it was so easy to find and felt just like home, beds felt amazing and comfortable. The house was super clean and was perfect for staying, would definitely stay longer. Especially the shopping centre being only a 5 min drives was perfect for shopping.

Brum's Place
Great Host, perfect for hosting large groups, plenty of privacy for group of couples. Spacious and clean for reasonable price in a big group.

Very quiet, private coastal home on the beach.
We decided to book Gaye’s place as we were nearing the end of our two-week road trip and needed a quiet spot to rest, relax, and prepare for our flight home. We arrived late at night, but Gaye and her husband Barry were there to warmly greet us and show us around. Throughout our road trip, we had been enjoying self check-ins, and at the end of our journey, we were blessed with the warmth of personal hospitality. It was such a beautiful and fitting end to our trip. Thank you!

17 Floor Waterfront Apartment Docklands 2BR 2Car
Aman is a great landlord, he always quick reply to the message. It's really helpful for us to make next plan. Sorry for him about the midnight check-in. However, he's still let us get the key ASAP. Apricate him.

Entire home/apt+free parking in Docklands
Simon is an excellent host. His communication is exemplary & he did everything he could to help us settle in including arrangements for early access to our carpark. Simon’s place is exactly as presented & he has provided everything possible to make you feel at home & have everything you need. The location is excellent with easy access to the free tram & other tram services right outside the apartment. There are also plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance. We highly recommend Simon’s place & Simon as a wonderful host.

Trendy 2Bed/2Bath City Views Riverside Apartment
Thanks Rael, we had a great stay and your place worked perfectly for us.

Classy, large 2BR apartment, marina view
This place is in a fantastic location. It's close to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and the free tram. The main bathroom doesn't include a toilet so only one toilet. But the main bath has lots of storage and Great shower pressure!!! The hosts were very responsive with all our questions! I would definitely recommend!
