Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southern Highlands

A very comfortable house for a family group in great location in Kiama Downs, walking distance to the shops and beach. Very nice amenities including the spa and a big terrace. Good yard for the dogs too.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Stanwell Park! The accommodation is exceptionally comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchenette and the lovely surprise of freshly baked bread each morning. Gail is a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and always willing to help. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Highly recommended!

From the moment we arrived every detail about guest experience has been thought of. There are so many little, thoughtful details that truly make you feel so welcomed. My highlights were; meeting Greg who was putting the horses to bed and happy for us to wander up and have a chat and meet the animals. The two dogs Chum and Bundy were really friendly and up for a pat. Plus, the duck pond with the viewing platform and seat. So cute! The firepit had all the wood and was ready to go which I really regret not making the most of this. The personalised card, treats and breakfast was really sweet, and they provided tips on making the most of the claw foot bath tub. It's hard to find an AirBNB that still cares so much about guest experience. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the horses and alpacas in the paddock, and waking up in the morning with the view of the horses frolicking around. It's was an unreal experience that allowed us to unwind from our busy lives

Lovely welcoming place and the fire was lit when we arrived which was wonderful. Great place, clean had everything we needed. The only unfortunate thing was the traffic on main road at 4.30am on a Monday/Tuesday, may be different in the weekend but that was the only downfall. Everything else was amazing thank you

We really enjoyed our stay, so well located for the beach and also shops / restaurants. Comfortable beds and furnishings and great extras like sunscreen. Will stay again.

We had a fantastic stay at Tim and Caitlin’s. The deck area is huge, with the view looking out to the fields just magical in the afternoon. Plenty of room inside, with a big table and couches and a kitchen with all necessary cooking equipment. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks so much for hosting us.

We had a great couple of days at Will's place. The dog absolutely loved the huge garden, and it's an easy walk to the dog friendly pub in town! Well worth the walk up to the seats on the hill at the back of the property for the magnificent view. The house is pretty dated but I think this is better when you have a dog (or kids). There is only one shower, but there are two separate toilets. Beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Thanks Will - we will be back!

A wonderful place in the country for a short break with the dogs for my daughter and her husband. I booked at very last minute due to the flooding in the mid north coast and Ellen and Tim were so responsive and accommodating accepting our booking so late and making it happen. They had been before and the experience was just as perfect - and super understanding of the dogs muddy feet due to all the rain. Thank you so much - we will be back again for longer next time.

We stayed here in this unspoilt part of paradise for 4 nights and everything that we experienced from location, weather and amenities of the home were beyond our expectations and made our time here very memorable. Highly recommend Anne's place for a very relaxing and peaceful time away. Thank you Anne for your communication before, during and after our stay.

Alyson’s cottage is in the most picturesque spot and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in what felt like a home away from home. Loved walking the property with the horses and playing on the tennis court. Having the enclosed back grass area was brilliant for our dog. Very warm central heating & blankets for winter too.

A very homely cosy cottage, well presented and ideal for our girls weekend away. We will definitely be back and highly recommend.

Kerri and Alan were great hosts. Place was tidy and clean and as described. Easy to find and they dealt with our late check in very well! Thanks and look forward to coming back again! Patrick

A perfect stay for our family event at the Burrawang pub - easy walking distance. Lovely birdsong in the mornings, and the house had everything we needed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Claire’s house - it was all clean, tidy and a great layout. The house was perfect for our weekend away in Culburra, with plenty of space, comfortable beds and a great location, would definitely stay here again!

Absolute 10/10 stay! Everything was perfect from the tiny details (robes, slippers, tea, milk, olive oil) to the things on offer (board games, yoga mats and snorkles). The house was beautifully designed and super clean, with absolutely everything we could have needed and more. We had such a good time, we ended up extending our stay for an extra night! Will be recommending to all friends and family. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much to Rob and Bede for the excellent staycation.

We loved our stay at Bowral. The accomodation was perfect for a big extended family attending a nearby family wedding.

Shane was super responsive, helpful, accomodating and gave great recomendations for dinner. The place is so central to the main street in Husky without the noise. The beds and pillows were super comfy and the place was clean and clutter free which I love!

This house is absolutely stunning, you will not want to leave. The view is spectacular, the inside was cosy and spacious, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine and perfect for a weekend to hang with friends. We will be back because we loved it so much! Thanks for being great hosts! We were lucky enough to get an early check-in and late check-out, which we appreciated greatly!

Hosts were lovely & open to answer questions! Space is small, but cozy & had everything we needed! The playful dog greets you in the garden & makes your day a little better :)

We had a lovely time at Rod and Lynsey’s place. All of the needs for young families was very well thought out from night lights to access to a huge trampoline and simple things like washing machine detergent and milk for breakfast after a late night arrival. They also offered tips to travel more easily into Sydney city and there bar area was a fun and relaxing retreat for parents. Thanks very much, we look forward to visiting at the same time next year!

Wonderful little cabin attached to a main house, but with private entrance. Exactly what you need for a peaceful break, inc. wallabies multiple times in the garden! Peaceful, quiet and a very responsive host. Would absolutely return.

This accommodation was perfect for what we needed it for. It didn’t quite match the pictures in terms of furniture etc but that didn’t put us off at all. John and his family were helpful and accommodating. Even letting us use their dryer when it rained. It was simply a base for us and the pool was an added bonus. It was a lot cheaper than other accommodation nearby which sold it to us and I am glad that it did. I think we will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future.

Eva was a fantastic host who was very contactable, accommodating and SkyView villa had everything we needed for a great long weekend stay. We definitely would love to come back and make the most of the opportunities in the area when it is warmer too!

The home was warm and inviting. Very picturesque and beautiful for pre wedding photos. The home had everything required. The best central heating and open log fire kept the place beautifully warm. All guests loved the venue and location. We would highly recommend Arafel lodge to anyone looking for a getaway or for weddings. A good time was had by all.
