Vacation rentals with lake access in Yarra River

We had a fantastic stay at Wattle Bird for a friend's getaway. The house was spacious and comfortable—perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 dogs. Rob and Di were exceptional hosts, warm and welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The property had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Barwon Heads, with standout amenities like the BBQ, hot tubs, and a cozy fireplace. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wattle Bird and would love to return!

It was a beautiful weekend gateway inside a bus while distancing yourself from daily business and emercing yourself in nature while having lots of insight to wild animal and living in the shoes of a farmer. We really enjoyed our stay and very thankful for the lovely couple who has been very kind and supportive while teaching us lots of new things. Great place to visit.

Beautiful new home with everything we needed. Spacious and perfect for the 7 of us. Walking distance to town. Very picturesque river walk with swing bridge to get to great coffee and quirky shops. Would definitely stay again.

We are very happy and impressed with the house and with the host. Steve was very quick to reply to us and was proactive in his assistance. Beautiful clean big house. Kids have loved it. Some noise from the road.

We had a fantastic time, the views are breathtaking and it is very peaceful. The walk down to the lake is a bit challenging but worth it. We will definitely be back!

Such a delightful stay at Libby and Damian's place. Sitting on the couch by the fire and looking out to the fields was perfect for a weekend away, and with some complimentary bubbles was just the cherry on top. The place had everything we needed and was pristine, with clear instructions on how to use everything. We loved the local recommendations and are so grateful for the offer of a late checkout when the cleaners were going to be later to arrive. Would be comfortable for a family or larger group and wouldn't hesitate to book here again. Thanks Libby and Damian!

We had a lovely stay! Taylor was helpful and accommodating throughout our stay. A beautiful home, close to everything we needed for our first time in Melbourne. Thanks again for a fantastic week!

Good place to stay around Melbourne

Excellent location, close to shops and restaurants. Everything we needed, unit was clean and comfortable.

Easy choice for a few days stay in Melbourne. Host was helpful in answering our queries and helped me out on a few occasion. Not the most modern looking accoms but it’s true to picture and we had no complaints about it. Free parking js only available for one car.

Such a beautiful spot, really close to Albert Park which has good facilities as well as South Melbourne market. It’s also right next to the tram station to get into the city. Lots of nice cafes and restaurants nearby. James was super responsive and flexible. The neighbours were lovely and really helpful, giving us suggestions of places to go and directions. The apartment was a good size and well equipped. We had a great stay and wish we had longer!

This Apartment is spacious, easy to manage and offers a gorgeous view. The Apartment is well located and was suitable for 2 adults and 2 young children.

The accommodation was perfect, central location and easy to get around. The styling of the space is stunning, makes you feel right at home. Loved our time here

Louise’s apartment was just perfect! Cosy and full of charm. We felt so at home. The apartment was perfectly set up and had everything we could possibly need. The location was great with trams, cafes, restaurants, a supermarket and Albert Park all out the front door. Louise is a fabulous host! She was so helpful and made our stay seamless. She even left lovely birthday surprises for the girls. Highly recommend!

good place for a little melbourne getaway transport right outside your door or easy walking distance to bars and eatries

Great apartment, perfect base to explore the city and beaches . Close to a tram stop and restaurant and cafes

We had a wonderful stay at this cosy home in Neerim South. The house was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, making for a truly relaxing getaway. The views from the property were absolutely lovely, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. One of the standout features was the fantastic outdoor cat enclosure – such a thoughtful touch for pet lovers! Communication with the host was smooth and friendly, making check-in and our stay hassle-free. Handy hint is to try shove some branches in the driveway gate to keep it open. The photos don't do the place justice! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the area!

Our two visits 'bookended' a two week holiday in Tasmania, via Ferry rides with car. We very much appreciated being able to visit and stay at Christines accommodation.

Brilliant little A frame house in Howqua inlet. Best deck / view and water access in the neighborhood. Had a great time with tinnie and kayaks. Melissa was responsive and attentive. Would definitely recommend to any holidayers after a lake front stay. Dylan C.

A truly wonderful place to visit and explore. Julian was so kind and accommodating he even lit the fire before arrival. Thank you!

My partner and I stayed here for the weekend for some wine tasting and a hot air balloon ride. The cabin was really nice and felt so authentic. The atmosphere and environment was beautiful - the surrounding farm lands really added to the authenticity of the cabin experience as well as the well-kept antique furniture. The whole cabin reminded me of my late great aunt’s home back in South Carolina — pure nostalgia for me. The kitchen was super functional, the hot tub was great, the heated floors in the bathroom was an excellent touch, the single air-con was incredibly efficient in keeping the entire cabin cool in the summer heat but I would recommend bringing a personal fan just in case. Overall a fantastic experience, looking forward to staying again

Toni was extremely helpful with information about things to do in the area and also very helpful with any questions we had and made it very easy to check in and out of the property. This is a great place to say, extremely privet with lots of room and one of the best views at a place we’ve ever stayed at, we will definitely be booking again in the future

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cozy, welcoming cottage with a beautiful timber finish inside that gave it a warm, homely feel. The garden was full of colour and charm, and the fresh muffins and fully stocked fridge were such thoughtful touches. The hosts were lovely and very responsive — we felt well looked after from start to finish.

The Cottage by the Lake was an amazing stay - even thought it was a rainy day, it felt so nice and cozy. The surrounding nature and the kangaroos and ducks across the field made the stay picturesque.
