Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kensington

Thankyou Alix & Taj, we loved your place, unfortunately for us we didn't get to experience it fully as were at a conference from early till late. We do hope to comeback and enjoy again soon. Carolyn, Laura, Patty & Kristina.

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

Tikali was a great host and the place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in town

We enjoyed our time in South Yarra and Jennis place was great. Close to main train and tram ways. Great having a Woolies in the building was awesome Thanks Jenni, appreciate it

What a view! Alex’s place is in the perfect location - a tram stop outside, Southern Cross at the corner and the whole of the CBD within walking distance. The apartment was well laid out and felt spacious for two couples. Would absolutely stay here again.

Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

The stay here was perfect. I stayed with my bridal party the night before my wedding and it had everything we needed. Nancy was also very friendly and responsive which made the booking and checking in process seamless.

Bricks was a perfect home away from home for our family whilst visiting Melbourne. Myki cards were at the house for us to use for public transport access which was fantastic. A short walk to food outlets, supermarkets and the train station. Karena and Rob were great at communicating and checked up on us after our arrival to ensure we had settled in. Highly recommend! Thanks K&R for a great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

More than happy to return to Chris's cottage, we really enjoy this location and the cottage is cosy, private and peaceful. we particularly like the additional parking space too, it helps if you have a trailer on as we did for this visit. Chris warmed up the house for our arrival along with lights and snacks. we'll be back (our home away from home)

We felt instantly at home at Alison’s house. It was styled so beautiful and everything was neat, tidy and functional. My mum, Dad, partner & daughter all stay for my birthday/Easter long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. We visited the local wine bar, cafes, local restaurants etc. It was also wonderful to be able to bring our little dog along for the stay too. It meant a lot to me he was able to join us for my birthday. Beds were all super comfortable, and we all commented on how well we slept. It was so lovely sitting out in the garden in the mornings having a coffees together and spending quality, memorable time together. I highly recommend this house if you want to spend some relaxing quality time with those you love, or just be in a home with great energy.

Perfect ! A gals weekend away allowed us to spread out relax and chit chat in a homely comfortable environment….everything was perfect.

Lovely little apartment with everything you need for a great weekend. Walking distance to most Melbourne attractions. 25 metre indoor lap pool and gym made sure we stayed active.

Wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend to anyone. Clean and spacious, comfy beds and the host really has thought of everything! Nice walk to cafes, parks, trams and buses. Not too long into the city and surrounding attractions. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

It is my second stay and as good as always, clean, tidy and full of everything that I need. Rob is always helpful and quick response, thank you so much and highly recommended to everyone comes to Melbourne

Beautiful location one block from the free tram. There is short term (5 min) parking along the short side streets on each side of building that can be used when picking up the key or loading/unloading your car.

We lived our stay at Rivergardens. The apartment was spectacular with every amenity you could want. The apartment is beautifully furnished with quality fittings and decor. The two bathrooms were amazing and we wanted to move in permanently! Julie was very proactive with instructions, helpful tips and things to do in and around Melbourne. There was lots of little personal touches to make us feel welcome which was a nice touch. We would definitely stay at Rivergardens again and can’t recommend it more highly.

Wow! Location, location, location, and views forever! Everything in Melbourne is right at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are just amazing, and floor to ceiling windows ensure you can take full advantage of the views and the position. There is a supermarket, liquor store, an amazing food court, and shops just downstairs. Trams are just across the street. So convenient. Sam is an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, and he responded to our queries almost immediately. I can recommend Sam’s apartment to anyone who visits Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back!

This was such great experience for my friend who stayed here wjo came.from oversease and as her first experience at Air bnb accomodation. The host, Anne was very prompt, lovely and responsive every single requeat we asked for. The neighbourhood vibe was great. My friend said that she would definitely come back with her family in future. I, myself who reseved the place for my friend was more pleased that I made a right choice for her. I as a neighbour and am familiar with the area, will also absolutely recommend anyone who wants to stay in Melbourne. The heating rack in the bathroom was brilliant in this cold weather. The two cats were also very entertaining. In overall, everything was superb.

Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful hospitality, flexibility and care to your clients. You're a commendable host and would encourage all people to use your apartment. It was clean. You were responsive and very friendly. You went beyond all challenges amidst us having delayed flights and arriving late at your place. Thank you so much. I trust, we shall come back when we return to Melbourne and will recommend our friends to utilize your services
