Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Goulburn River

What a beautiful little slice of the yarra valley. The heating was very efficient, it was icy overnight and we had no idea. We woke to kangaroos outside the window each morning. The caretakers lodge was much closer to the accommodation than I expected, however they were very helpful and friendly and I didn't see them apart from when I checked in. The house is stunning. The view from the huge windows is lovely. It felt very luxurious and was a lovely place to stay after getting married. I would absolutely recommend Kangaroo Manor to others, and I'd love the opportunity to stay there again one day. The hosts were very proactive, kind, and professional, and gave me the impression that I could contact them at any time. Thank you for a very memorable experience.

Very well maintained BnB on Lake Nillahcootie with wonderful views just 15-20min from Mansfield. The property is on a farm with farm animals to look at and paddocks to roam. Walking along the paddocks by the lake was very beautiful. Came here with my family and there was a lot for my toddler to explore. The fireplace with the gate around it was a bonus! The host is very responsive; we had an issue come up during our stay and it was promptly rectified. All in all definitely recommend for a peaceful and beautiful country stay.

Great location, easy access to public transport and amenities. Beautifully decorated, a lovely space to escape to.

This little peace of heaven was perfect for our family to celebrate my 40th birthday. From the moment we walked in the front gate to see the house amongst the gum trees and then the waterfall from the bedroom. We felt like we stepped into an old fairytale world with our own treehouse. Everywhere we walked felt like little fairy’s were waiting to greet us. The ferns throughout and stepping stones between each area made for the best adventures. The kids loved watching the frogs and tadpoles in the back pool. The natural pool was incredible and soul nourishing. Our first experience with a natural pool and it was breathtaking, especially being able to swim under the waterfalls. Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to return sometime Soon.

Had a beautiful stay at The Glen. The autumn colours were stunning each window you looked out of. Cosy at night time, we enjoyed the open fire, as well as the outdoor fireplaces. Having the river in walking distance was a special treat. Perfect spot to relax, but to also use as a launchpad to the nearby areas of Rutherglen, Beechworth and Bright. Was a perfect escape.

Fantastic place all around. it was spacious, clean and looked exactly like the photos. Location was great, almost felt like it was in the middle of nowhere with the views and distance between neighbours. The sauna was a hit - instructions were easy to follow and a great way to relax. Jay was very responsive whenever I had a question and amenities were as listed. It was overall a fantastic experience for our group!

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.

It was a great place, and we had a wonderful time there. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was beautifully designed with decor and items from the past—each piece seemed to have a story behind it, which made the atmosphere feel really special and nostalgic. The location was peaceful and just a 10-minute walk to the river, which was lovely. There were cows and sheep nearby, adding to the relaxing, countryside vibe. It's about a 30-minute drive from Echuca, so we recommend buying everything you need beforehand. The only issue we had was with the hot tub. it wasn’t warm enough to enjoy in the cold weather, staying around 27°C. Other than that, everything was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Thank you Annie and Josef. We finally got to rest and relax in your beautiful bungee. You catered for everything one could wish for and more. The weather was chilly but there plenty of warmth . The location was close to all the attractions Daylesford has to offer. We can recommend your home to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Melinda’s Airbnb. It was in a great location, easy to find and access, the fire was alight when we arrived and the space was very warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed the decor and found the space clean and tidy. We had a slight mishap with the shower which has a narrow entry. We would recommend bringing your own pillows (we unfortunately forgot ours). The yard is great for leashed toilet walks for dogs. We were mindful that we could hear people on the other side of the adjoining door which is just something to note but wasn’t particularly intrusive. Overall, would recommend and we would stay again. Melinda was a great host.

Stayed 2 nights at Allan and Elizabeth’s listing. The place was as per photos and felt very clean and fresh. Host was kind to get the heating turned on for us before we arrived as it was a cold day. We chose this area as it was in close proximity to the massive Chadstone shopping centre and is between Melbourne and Phillip Island (penguins). Overall a very pleasant and easy stay. Do note to request for self check-in if required as we had the host wait up for us and we felt really bad!

Had a wonderful stay at Geoffrey’s place! It was cozy, comfortable and peaceful! Geoffrey was a great host too, providing us with lots of information prior to our arrival and even welcomed us when we reached to give us a little tour of the place. Definitely one of the best host ever!

Sarah’s place is a good find. Conveniently located near downtown Melbourne. She was very responsive. Incredible views of downtown Melbourne from her place. You have to pick up the key from a local grocery store (which worked fine) and there is only one key, but overall the stay was great. Excellent swimming pool and gym. Recommend staying here! Good value!

This was our second stay at The Old Crossroads and we look forward to coming back many more times!! walking distance in to town, bush walks and parklands. Always sparkling clean and off street lock up parking is a winner. The corner store charm radiates throughout and pieces of history are on display. This is complimented with the amazing local architecture when you take a walk through the surrounding streets. Large kitchen with everything you need. The bed is super comfy too! Looking forward to our next stay at The Old Crossroads ❤️

Thanks for having us! Beautiful clean place with everything we needed. Private, in walking distance to main strip, cosy - very relaxing. Would stay again ☀️

Really nice place, incredibly comfortable bed and great range of pillows for people like me finicky about pillows. As we were there in the dead of winter, a very effective heater was also a pleasure to get back to. Veronica’s home-made muesli was a great treat too and it was a pleasure meeting her. Definitely would stay again.

Right in the CBD . Very high up over looking the city . Great views . Henfry is very helpful .

Its an apartment with a magnificent view across Melbourne, right next to the incredible Victoria Market and the thumping heart of the centre of the city. Yet it is peaceful and quiet. The pool is long and lovely and there is a gym too. Selina was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely come back if I visited Melbourne again.

Great host, great place to stay!

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

Kate's cosy apartment was super good. Restaurants, theaters, great shopping, transport and even parks all really close by. Really close. Great shower, comfy bed, and so many thoughtful extras that I never expected. Thanks Kate for a wonderful week.

Great apartment for a weekend in Melbourne! Very spacious and spectacular views. Aster was a great host

Excellent high quality building. Simon was wonderful to deal with. Pool on the roof was a highlight

Excellent location with breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming host. Peter greeted us personally on arrival and was very flexible with both check-in and check-out timings, which made our stay even more convenient. The apartment was clean, exactly as pictured, and within easy walking distance to great restaurants and major Melbourne attractions. Highly recommended!
