Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South-East Melbourne

If a stay in Chelsea is what you need then this is a good option. Comfortable, spacoius, gererously provisioned. It had a particularly pleasant rear deck for the warmer times. We jad everything we needed and would stay again.

Karen was a great host. Checking in on us and making sure everything was ok. She was very quick in her responses. The location of the home was great. Convenient to go to many places in Mornington. The home is very warm and cosy to stay in. A lot of amenities were provided which made staying at the house very enjoyable.

The most incredible property I’ve ever stayed in. Celebrating my 40th with my best friends will be my most memorable birthday. The house was just stunning, so much bigger than it looks in the photos. Great facilities with everything we needed. Spa maintained a perfect temperature all weekend. The master suite was so luxurious with the inclusion of the bathroom spa. Comfortable beds with the best linen. I couldn’t recommend this property enough, I would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the wonderful hosts for having us

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.

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

We loved our stay at Poplars Cottage. It's located on a beautiful property with private surrounds. The residence is a well maintained original 1930s cottage with some modern touches (kitchen, bathroom, and upgraded fireplace). We also enjoyed walking in nature and engaging with some of the horses on the property. Yasmine is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We'll definitely be back!

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!

Vivian’s place was amazing! Very clean and the perfect size for one person but a couple would also love this place. Great amenities and so easy to come in and out. The washing machine and dryer really help and the smart TV was an added bonus. It felt like Vivian had thought of everything that a guest may need for an easy, relaxing stay. Will definitely book again!

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

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!

Tim is a very great host, very responsive and described everything in details. The place is even more beautiful than what it’s looked like at the photos. Homie, cozy, and has everything you need.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay. It was comfortable, spacious, warm and clean. The apartment is tastefully decorated with ample seating but also lots of space for our son to play. Carpeted floors and centralised heating added to our comfort. Location super convenient, close enough to the CBD but far enough for some peace. Tony was very responsive & accommodating to our requests for 2 separate keys, an earlier check-in, & even more laundry detergent as we ran out towards the end of our stay. Pros over other BnBs in the area: dedicated study nook (which was very conducive for work), parking. Just for the sake of it, some v minor inconveniences: basic pantry but no cooking oil (easy enough to get our own), salt grinder was empty (tho did find the salt stash on our last day lol). Some surfaces (bedside tables, desk) & room carpet were a little dusty but easily fixed. Overall, LOVED our stay and really felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Absolutely fantastic stay. The welcome was up there with the best I ever had. Deb’s husband graciously welcomed us and was flexible about our timing. The position is second to none. Although being right in the heart of restaurants , cafes and walking distance to the beach, it was quiet. We were welcomed with champagne, chips and chocolates and plenty to make breakfast the next morning. The kitchen is perfectly appointed for those who like to cook. Also a myky card - which is super helpful (don’t forget not to leave it in the red!) We felt able to contact our hosts at anytime. All round great stay.

Had a great stay at Kristina's studio, lovely and cosy, kitchen with everything I needed and very close to the beach

Great little apartment, perfect for myself. Comfy bed with all the little luxuries like Netflix, great water pressure and well equipped kitchen. Very easy walk to Woolies and surrounding restaurants and shops.

Beautiful home and location. Everything was super clean and it felt like a cosy home away from home

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.

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

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

We had a great stay. Everything was as described, very clean, we had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly responsive and we were very comfortable.

We stayed 5 weeks in the apartment and loved it. It’s bright, airy and has everything we needed to feel at home. Great location in the heart of Hawthorn and so close to train station, trams and lots of great food places. Highly recommend.

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!

Always a pleasure staying in this beautiful home. It is immaculate, great location, affordable and very responsive hosts.
