Family-friendly vacation rentals in Yarra Ranges Shire

Thank you Penny. What a lovely cottage. It was great for our family who attended a wedding at Mount Dandenong. It was private, functional and cosey. Well furbished and had everything we needed. Loved the private back yard. We will come back one day.

We had a great weekend family stay at Brian's farm. We felt welcomed, the accommodation was clean and had great views. The serounding was beautiful and peaceful. We will surely be back again!

Very comfortable and functional house in a lovely quiet setting close to beautiful nature.

Thanks for having us! We had such a wonderful time! The place is well-furnished, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed. Our toddler had an amazing time exploring the farm, interacting with the animals, picking fresh strawberries and veg, and enjoying fresh eggs for breakfast. It was such a lovely getaway and farm experience for our family including our dog. :) We would highly recommend!

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.

We had such a great time staying at Lauretta’s Airbnb! The area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. There were so many amazing sites and scenic hikes nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Lauretta was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed something. Her place had such a unique charm, from the decor to the overall vibe—it really added to the experience and made it feel special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy spot with character and access to nature. Thanks again, Lauretta!

Lavender Cottage is absolutely beautiful. Lovingly built by Brett, and fitted out with the most wonderful olde worlde decor and furniture. Brett thought of everything, with lovely touches like fresh orange juice and eggs, and a nice selection of teas.

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary and it was a stay we won’t soon forget. The views were spectacular, the breakfast foods and sweet treats in the fridge were a lovely touch and the check in was smooth and easy. We had a wonderful time staying there and would love to stay again in the future.

A beautiful space with plate of amenities, conveniently located to everything. Sarah was friendly and prompt with responses and easy check in/check out process. Really enjoyed the stay and fully recommend Sarah and Shannon’s space.

We had such a great stay at Moose Head Lodge. The location is peaceful, the views are beautiful and the house has everything you need (including a great record/CD collection!) We enjoyed the local walking trails and spent our nights BBQ'ing, making pizzas and watching DVDs by the fire. Matt & Rachel were amazing hosts - very attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended, we hope to be back!

Beautiful location. will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay! The home was perfectly fitted with everything you need. Qe felt so at home and relaxed the whole time. Beautiful views no matter where you looked. The kitchen was well equipped, we whipped up a few lovely meals while eating on the balcony. Our daughter loved all the toys, games, swing and trampoline. We even got to see a wallaby! Thank you Julie!

Proactive and helpful hosts. Great surroundings, easy walk to the bakery and the local pub, the Healesville Hotel. Highly recommended.

We have stayed at Diane’s place several times and it is always lovely to arrive at such a relaxing space. The retreat is well equipped, very clean and has lovely views out to the garden. Our two small dogs love to visit too and enjoy playing in the secure backyard. Will definitely be back soon!

Thank you, Sioban, for sharing your beautiful cottage with us! The place was absolutely charming—so cosy, clean, and welcoming. We instantly felt at home. The surrounding gardens were stunning and added to the peaceful, relaxing vibe. The location was perfect—close to town and local attractions, making everything super convenient. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated all the helpful tips on cafes, restaurants, and things to do in the area. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely love to come back!

We had an amazing time at Mitch's beautiful property, the house is spacious, clean and quiet at night, beds are so comfy and everything is clean and spotless, Mitch is very friendly and very prompt at responding requests. We enjoy the space so much we highly recommend to everyone ;) Thank you for having us!

Langbrook cottage is one of the best AirBnB we have stayed in. It is located in a working farm with cows right in the middle of Yarra Valley. It is in a perfect location to explore the wineries around. The surrounding is very peaceful and relaxing. We had a private swimming pool and pool table. There is a tennis court right outside of the cottage with tennis rackets provided. Breakfast with home grown tomatoes were provided too. We really appreciate how friendly and helpful Cathy and her family are. We had a tour around the farm and had the chance to get close to the newborn calves. There was also a very cute cat roaming around! The interior of the cottage was very clean and you can tell the furnitures used are top notch. We would love to come back again any time soon!!

Great stay! This was a beautiful space to get ready before a wedding in the valley. Not only was there ample space for our group, there were many interesting places to take photos and enjoy each others company. Stacey was extremely responsive to all of our messages, and the stay was seamless. They also gave us a great local coffee recommendation.

Lovely quiet cottage in a beautiful location. Lots to do in the local area. Greeted by Luca the friendly dog, and Tony and Jacky were wonderful hosts who went over and above by providing homemade bread and cake!

Percent stay.. we left a toiletries bag behind, they were super fast in letting us know.. Thanks Vince. We were there for a wedding so location was perfect, we also had the best coffee in the morning at breakfast.

Beautiful pool house with 5 star facilities. We were left to out own devices and given complete privacy to enjoy the fabulous pool. Great location to explore the Dandenong Ranges and tackle the 1000 steps. Millie the puppy was full of affection and a lovely little addition to our weekend.

Our stay was blissful! Incredible place, fantastic views and hosts everything you need - even complementary breakfast hamper! Love the location. Saw kangaroos grazing in the morning and various wildlife. Decor was on point complementing the stonework and great build! Will 100% come back… Jacqui was an incredible host, thank you!

What a fabulous place! The character of this home and beauty of the surrounding gardens made for such a great family getaway. With the billiard table, pool, sauna and tennis court, our teenagers were happy and occupied. Loved that we could walk to Sherbrooke Falls from the house, and the gorgeous cafe across the road. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing home Alan!

This is a lovely location and a beautiful well kept large hose away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Anne was a wonderful host.
