Family-friendly vacation rentals in Australia

Another beautiful stay at Hemingways, always so good for the soul! Thank you Fifi for all the thoughtful touches, generous provisions and beautiful surroundings. We absolutely can't stop coming back so we will see you again soon!

Peter, Jill and their gorgeous doggie Meg were so lovely. They both were so accommodating, helping with a flat tire, extra lighting and a fire. Providing blankets, marshmallows, popcorn and really making out stay quite beautiful. They provided lots of recommendations for local wineries etc and even put up a birthday banner for my partner and gave us a local bottle of wine. Despite arriving at 7pm Peter helped us with the hot tub and everything worked amazingly. Reception isn’t great but Peter and Jill were very helpful with wifi and the peace and quiet is worth it. Beautiful balcony to watch the sunset. All up it was a magical stay and me and my partner couldn’t be happier. Thank you both xx

Peaceful surrounds. Really helpful host. Loved the spa and pool. The whole experience was excellent.

We had a great stay at George's place. Great view of the breaking waves from the deck, a warm house, comfy bed, well-equipped and stocked kitchen. Communication was easy. All as good as could be!

Exceeded all our expectations, the cottage oozed charm and made you feel right at home. All our needs were catered for in the kitchen. The wood heater worked a treat with great dry wood. The view is next level you could waist your day away looking at the ever changing mood of Mother Nature. Would highly recommend and we will be returning.

Absolutely stunning location. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The view and the hot tub a stand out.

Bombah Point is a natural haven nestled in the trees, offering the perfect escape from city life. We had a blast playing pool (badly) and table tennis (even worse!), but the laughs were plentiful. The property offers heaps of activities, both indoors and outdoors. Despite the rain, it added to the cozy atmosphere - snuggling up by the wood fire with a book and listening to the rain was pure bliss. We enjoyed walking through the property, feeding the chickens, and browsing the extensive DVD collection. The fully equipped kitchen made self-catering a breeze. The tree-top feel of our accommodation and the extra comfortable beds, was a highlight. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend.

The Airbnb was very beautiful! I went down to Byron to complete my Pilates certificate and it was the perfect place to stay whilst doing so. Thank you Mark ☺️

Pauline and Wayne’s place was an amazing stay. My partner, puppy and I had a great time in their guest house. The land was huge, plenty of space for our puppy to run around and the horses were very friendly. Pauline and Wayne were both very friendly and accommodating whilst also giving us alot of privacy. The deck on looks a beautiful mountain valley view, it was perfect for wine during the sunset. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice quiet private getaway borh with or without a puppy dog.

A truly calming and beautifully curated home. Thoughtful interiors, warm textures, and stunning natural light made it feel like a boutique escape. The views were absolutely breathtaking — we found ourselves just sitting and soaking it all in. Perfect for a peaceful reset. Clean, stylish, and full of heart. Can’t wait to return.

Perfect place to escape the rat race. Thank you Gary your place is incredible

Very well kept studio style house, stocked complete with everything a house and kitchen needs. It's very relaxing and enjoyable staying at this house.

The cottage was an absolute gem! Stunning view across the farmland to the mountains, so peaceful and tranquil. The cottage was bigger inside than the photos showed but still had the lovely cosy feel of a farmhouse. The outside patio was so lovely with all the plants creating privacy. We used the chiminea at night with a glass of wine and soaked up the atmosphere. The bacon and eggs provided were such a lovely touch. Comfy bed and lovely hot shower. A very functional space. The grounds of the property are just stunning along with the rustic outbuildings. Gary met us and showed us around even though we arrived very late. Close to Kalbar and easy access to all the Rim has to offer. Thank you Gary and Claire.

What an unbelievable gem hidden away in the trees. Bud (🐶) & I couldn’t have had a more peaceful week away at Fleur & Mike’s stunning loft. From watching the sheep out of the kitchen window (or from the shower when I was quiet enough), to the thoughtful, kind of romantic, cabin decor. We felt so at home, whilst also feeling so removed from the city - which is exactly what we were looking for. The highlights for us were walking into a toasty fireplace lit for us by the wonderful Sarah, the open-door morning showers, strolls around the land, and the dance parties inside at night with the sound system up loud. Thank you again for having us, we’ll be recommending to everyone.

We loved our stay at Villa Amavi. The house is great for a family of three generations with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

From check in and throughout our stay communication is really east and Tom is very responsive place is also very well thought out and lovely our family had a great rest there, thank you 🙏🏻

Felt like home & so peaceful. Highly recommend the suggestion to see the morning horse training at the beach in front of the Pavilion Cafe. Would love to return in summer to enjoy the pool.

Tommy was a responsive host and everything was as advertised. Overall great location, clean. Not sure if from carpet cleaning but there was a smell when I entered which opening the doors to air helped to improve it. If I were to nitpick, the shower isn’t the best with water pressure, but overall I enjoyed my stay.

We stayed 6 nights after booking at short notice for a family funeral. At arrival we were greeted by a perfect selection of breakfast provisions plus a few little treats. The location was great for us to explore the area by car but we also walked into Fremantle. We cooked our own dinners, washed our clothes and had everything we needed. Off street parking was perfect for our hire car. The ducks in the yard where Trish lives were an added bonus! I highly recommend staying here.

Place was great and Victoria was really helpful!! We had such a great time and it was really clean also. Not anyone’s fault but worth noting that you’re unable to leave your bags the next day if you’re leaving Syd after your check out time.

Loved this place. Definitely the best accommodation I have stayed in Melbourne.

What an amazing place, we had such a fun time! The views are amazing, lovely plunge pool to cool off when it got hot overlooking the rainforest. Pool table and darts to keep us all entertained in the evening. Enough hammocks, swing chairs and couches for everyone to find a spot to relax. Plenty of wildlife about, lots of new critters us Melbournians had never seen before, our 7 year old loved it! We went and explored a few things while we were here but we could have honestly just as easily spent the entire time just enjoying ourselves at the property. Absolutely a little slice of paradise Dean has created, also props to him for his communication and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.

Loved our stay. Amazing views. Will definitely be back!

Thank you Ellen. We really enjoyed your beautiful Gardener’s Cottage. So close to town and walkable to our favourite restaurants. The work you have put into the cottage and thoughtful hospitality were so welcome and enjoyed. We appreciated the amenities you provided and would love to return!
