Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Yarra Ranges Shire

Chris and Grant's place was such a lovely base for the weekend! From the start, communication was clear and detailed. It was very easy to check in and to start a beautiful warm fire on arrival. We loved adventuring to some of the local sites with our dogs and coming back to a cosy home each night. The wildlife around the property was incredible, and watching the birds while you eat breakfast was awesome. Definitely can recommend this place to others either as a couples retreat or for your family. Thanks Chris and Grant!

This is the second time I have stayed at David’s beautiful home. Can’t thank him enough he is very responsive and clear with instructions to get inside. Once you are inside it’s absolutely magical. Views are incredible and the house is just so perfect. Can not recommend this place enough and I can’t wait to go back again one day. 5 stars

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.

We had a wonderful winter getaway at Warby retreat! Such a beautiful home in a peaceful location. The house had everything we needed and it was really warm and cosy. We were visited by lots of birds (which we knew not to feed). 🙃 Absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend this place!

This place is a hidden gem. It’s great for a retreat from the hustling and bustling life, and transport you back into nature. It’s very secluded, but it is meant to be the way it is. A Stonehill retreat. If you are looking for something that is near town, this is not for you. But if you are looking for a tranquil, peaceful place, I would recommend it 200%! Jacqui was also extremely helpful in her travel directions, and took extra effort to provide us with some oil when we ran out. Thanks much!

It was our second stay, and the absolute delight was the autumn surroundings. Such beauty! Our Spring stay in October already took our breath away with the surroundings, but so so happy to have now experienced what autumn looks like in such an incredibly tree-filled property. Everything was clean and user friendly and comfortable. We love this place! The town was an absolutely picturesque walk away through lead-filled walk paths beside a flowing creek/river. And I highly recommend my new favourite cafe, the River view Cafe & Wine Bar.

We loved Gingers on the Hill. It feels like home and is full of thoughtful touches to make your trip away that little bit special. It's an elegant nod to the mid-century aesthetic and so comfortable and quiet. So great. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous little cottage that has been thoughtfully decorated and felt homely. Convenient location walkable to shops and local amenities but far enough to give a sense of the countryside. Good for a winter stay with electric blankets and heating. Highlight was the lovely big bath. Would stay again!

Stayed for the night and wished we had booked for a week instead! Photos don’t do it justice. In love with the property, plants and garden. very calm and peaceful. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay 😍

We had a fantastic time at Cathy’s place. An incredibly peaceful experience with the most amazing views of surrounding Yarra Valley wineries. We will certainly be back!

Craig and Maggie were perfect hosts - friendly, flexible with great communication. The studio was a perfect base for exploring the Yarra Valley and it was also so nice to be able to walk to restaurants, bars and even to wine tasting and the distillery. The studio was clean, comfortable, warm and cosy and we enjoyed the view of the valley while lying in bed! We would definitely hope to stay again if we come back to the area.

Austin was really helpful in accommodating an additional request that I had and even spent time sending me photographs in his assistance. On arrival check in was very easy and notably, the accommodation was extremely well fitted.. but also spotlessly clean.. so I was very happy. Even the mattress, which can often be a bit of a lottery got a thumbs up from me. High fives all round really!

Amazing place right in the heart of Gembrook. We happened to catch the coffee and cars event in Gembrook which was so special and unexpected. We simply walked to dinner at the Independent and her place is across from IGA super market. Leah has a calm and clean place to relax in and unwind.

This was my first airbnb stay, and i was very impressed, will be comparing others to Bec's place, clean, tidy, quiet, great bed no complaints only praise for the great space to relax and stay at. Will stay again, if you looking for a place to stay, this is it. Thanks Bec for a lovely stay.

Unique place. can't put a finger to what exactly but overall it just adds up to being unique, cosy and we love it!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Beautiful spot just out of town, only a couple of minutes to drive into everything at Emerald. Was great having the separate living area, bedroom and bathroom. Lovely having a bath and a king bed. Thank you for allowing us to stay Lyn and for accommodating our date change, would stay again!
