Family-friendly vacation rentals in Yarra Ranges Shire

Yvonne and Matt’s place was fantastic. Everything was as described and the room was squeaky clean when we arrived. We loved the thoughtful touches such as the snacks, magazines and DVDs. The location was peaceful and serene, yet close to where you’d get all the action. They also provided a lovely and generous continental breakfast every morning, and their sweet dog Daisy was a joy to play with. We would highly recommend their place to anyone visiting the area, and can’t wait to be back there again ourselves.

Thank you Penny. What a lovely cottage. It was great for our family who attended a wedding at Mount Dandenong. It was private, functional and cosey. Well furbished and had everything we needed. Loved the private back yard. We will come back one day.

Had a lovely weekend at Brylinbrook. The setting is gorgeous and our daughter loved feeding the chickens and walking around the farm. There's also a sand pit and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. The apartment above the stables is as pictured with everything you could need (log fire a huge bonus for cooler nights). Brian and Rhonda are wonderful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Celestine’s stunning cottage. The space was exceptionally clean and inviting, with ample bedding and plenty of room to relax. Enjoyed the fireplace stove (there is also a standard stove) and quiet surroundings made it extra cosy, perfect for unwinding after a day out. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

We had a wonderful time at Gingers on the Hill. Upon arrival the fire was on and the place felt welcoming and cosy. There was a special touch hiding in every corner and we felt very looked after. The instruction book was very clear and the place was spotless. The surroundings were very peaceful. Definitely recommend it!

The Windmill Barn is a truly unique and special property, set in the most stunning outdoor surrounds - honestly made me want to give up inner-city life and move to the hills! We had a lovely time at this cozy barn and enjoying a morning cuppa in the courtyard listening to the kookaburras and watching the sun rise. The only thing we thought was strange was in the listing it states outdoor amenity includes a firepit and private hot tub, but this wasn't there - maybe this used to be available but isn't anymore? Also a lovely continental breakfast was provided, would definitely book again!

This is a lovely place for a couple, close walk to eating places in Olinda and a short drive to others further away. Brett and Melinda had the heating turned on for our arrival and super breakfast supplies. We enjoyed sitting in front of the open fireplace watching the flames. We'd recommend it as a perfect couple getaway

My husband and I stayed for our anniversary and it was a stay we won’t soon forget. The views were spectacular, the breakfast foods and sweet treats in the fridge were a lovely touch and the check in was smooth and easy. We had a wonderful time staying there and would love to stay again in the future.

It’s a great place to just get away from everything and enjoy the nice cozy, warm lodge. Lots of fun things inside and out the cabin, lots of games, easy instructions on how to use amenities. The place was spotless and had a great view from the front balcony. Lastly, the host, they were just simply the best. Very helpful, sending through texts on recommendations and wishing us well on our holiday. Also a big thank you for them for giving us a flexible check in and check out. If you’re wanting to go to mount Baw Baw, enjoy a summer in the trees, or just to get away from technology. This 5/5 place with its 5/5 hosts will ensure you will never forget this magnificent trip. Cheers Nathan🤙

We stayed at Villa Sophie at Soumah of the Yarra Valley for our wedding, and it was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into a painting, the views were breathtaking, the villa was filled with natural light, and every detail had been thoughtfully designed. It was the perfect space for my family to stay and get ready in. Spacious, elegant, and peaceful, it gave us the calm and beauty we needed on such a special day. The interiors were stylish yet cozy, and the surrounding vineyard and hills created a picture-perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and serene setting. Villa Sophie made our celebration even more memorable, and we’ll always treasure our time there.

Such a beautiful, peaceful location to have a weekend away. We had a great day exploring the town of Warburton (less than a 30 minute drive away) and Seville Estate winery (5 minute drive away). The house itself was lovely and cosy. I would definitely recommend this place 🙂

Thank you Julie. We had a beautiful weekend away, wandering the trails in the bush, bouncing on the enormous trampoline and snuggling by the fire. Can't wait to go back to your beautiful cabin in the bush. 🙏

Attractive cottage, very conveniently located to the main Healesville town centre. Chris and Ange were great hosts and made everything very easy.

The house is located a short drive from both the centre of town and the sanctuary, as well as all the main tourist attractions in the area. The house was totally suitable for our group (which included two babies), and was a lovely place to return to after a day exploring wonderful Healesville.

Judith and Paul’s cottage was perfect for our stay in Healesville with our 15 month old son. The property was clean, tidy and had lots of amenities that were important to us as a young family, such as outlet covers, children’s toys, books and tableware. The back deck and gardens were stunning and provided a perfect spot to unwind. In terms of location the cottage is a short 6 minute drive to the Healesville sanctuary, and a short drive into town where there are lots of shops, cafes and parks. We can see why this property would be ideal if you have a dog! We will be recommending the property to our friends who like to travel with their pets.

A really homely place for a group of friends on an annual long weekend trip. Thanks Mitch & Andy

This is a lovely location and a beautiful well kept large hose away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Anne was a wonderful host.

Gorgeous place for weekend stay. Thanks Rachel

Langbrook cottage is one of the best AirBnB we have stayed in. It is located in a working farm with cows right in the middle of Yarra Valley. It is in a perfect location to explore the wineries around. The surrounding is very peaceful and relaxing. We had a private swimming pool and pool table. There is a tennis court right outside of the cottage with tennis rackets provided. Breakfast with home grown tomatoes were provided too. We really appreciate how friendly and helpful Cathy and her family are. We had a tour around the farm and had the chance to get close to the newborn calves. There was also a very cute cat roaming around! The interior of the cottage was very clean and you can tell the furnitures used are top notch. We would love to come back again any time soon!!

Had a wonderful weekend stay . Location was absolutely perfect for what we had planned on and around the Yarra Valley. I highly recommend staying at the property. Place was clean, peaceful and relaxing. Rachel was a great host and kindly responsive to any queries that I had. A+

Stacey’s house is beautiful, well kept, and in a great location for all that Healesville has to offer 😊

My husband, myself and our 4 adult children stayed at Lavender Farm. When first arriving we were greeted by their friendly dogs. Jacky had made a delicious cake and fresh bread plus farm fresh eggs and bacon ready for breakfast the next morning. It made us feel right at home. The farm is beautiful as is the accommodation. Tony (the host) was very friendly and helpful. The town itself has everything you need. Healesville is a lovely place to stay. I would highly recommend Lavender Farm.

Percent stay.. we left a toiletries bag behind, they were super fast in letting us know.. Thanks Vince. We were there for a wedding so location was perfect, we also had the best coffee in the morning at breakfast.

Beautiful pool house with 5 star facilities. We were left to out own devices and given complete privacy to enjoy the fabulous pool. Great location to explore the Dandenong Ranges and tackle the 1000 steps. Millie the puppy was full of affection and a lovely little addition to our weekend.
