Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Australasia

So comfy and warm, this is a wonderful place to experience Tasmania's south. Louella's home sits on a small rise overlooking the Verona Sands beach, and this view changes continually with the weather, daylight and tide. At night, the stars are amazing. The home itself is comfy and cosy. We stayed in May, and the air con and fireplace meant we were always warm. Beds are great with lovely linen sheets, and one bedroom has a window seat for quiet book reading. The beach is so close and an easy walk, as is another walk along the coast starting in the reserve next door. Cygnet is 20 minutes away with its cafes, galleries, shops and grocers - all of high quality, and if you'd like lunch at a winery, Home Hill is a 40 minute drive. So good we lunched there twice. The kitchen is fully equiped, and while the oven is a bit tricky to operate, there are instructions and Louella is a phone call away. A great place to turn off the world and relax. (well just a bit, the wifi is great!)

Absolutely stunning views, you walk outside the sliding doors that overlooked the pool and it is breathtaking. The house was in very clean condition. I was able to take my children to the stables that’s on the property to feed the horses, donkeys and dogs. The kangaroos came to the front of the property each morning. Honestly a 10/10. Hosts were very helpful too, were super responsive and helped me find a private chef that came out to the property. Thanks again

The Oyster House is absolutely amazing. The perfect place to rest and unwind with a spectacular view and peaceful surrounds. The kitchen was well stocked and the home very spacious and comfortable. We loved sitting in front of the fire and soaking up the ambiance. This was our first trip to Tasmania and we have enjoyed every minute. We will definitely be returning to the Oyster House. Thank you Nigel and Denise for sharing your special home 😊

Gorgeous sea cottage overlooking the cliff. So well designed and decorated with curated eyes in both art collection and furnishings. Private and quiet even though there’s a house directly behind sea cottage. Perfect for a writer and artist as I got so much done with the sea as inspiration. Cockatoos came and visited me everyday. 1st day just by himself, day 2 he brought his partner, on day 3 he invited 8 more of his friends so the 9 of them welcome me with fanfare!

we had a lovely weekend at SaltHouse. our little pooch enjoyed the fully enclosed yard, and the gas fire place worked a treat on the cold nights.

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

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Winged House, and it exceeded every expectation. Perched dramatically above the Bass Strait, the property offers breathtaking, uninterrupted views that shift constantly with the moods of the sea and sky—storms rolling in, magnificent sunsets, and stars appearing in pristine darkness. The house itself is a work of art: luxurious, private, and beautifully appointed with thoughtful inclusions throughout. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for—there were generous treats waiting for us, and every detail had clearly been considered to make our stay both comfortable and memorable. What truly stood out was the sense of solitude and serenity. We felt wrapped in nature, yet cocooned in comfort. The ever-changing views of ocean and sky were mesmerizing, offering a rare sense of peace and inspiration. For anyone seeking a unique, luxurious retreat where nature and architecture combine, we wholeheartedly recommend The Winged House.

The home and surrounds made a special trip away with my two daughters a magic memory to cherish. So peaceful and wrapped 'in the arms' of nature, we had the most relaxing stay. Spent a lot of time chilling out on the verandah catching up and taking in the forest views and the fireplace at night was so cosy (with cheese and wine of course!). Thanks Jay from some very happy 'campers'.

We had a wonderful stay, Made was beyond helpful and responsive. He is a wonderful host, he was responsive helped with all our questions and gave us rides everywhere we needed. He was very patient with us too because we didn’t know what we wanted to do. the villa is very private and clean. They gave us all the amenities we needed. The only thing is that there wasn’t many restaurants around and it’s not too close to the main town. It’s a 15 minute drive but besides that I highly recommend staying here. Made is a wonderful person and he made our stay special.

Medlow Bath is a fantastic, peaceful location near to Leura, Katoomba and Blackheath. Denise was a wonderful host and provided us with many recommendations for the area. The space was quiet and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

great place, awesome view definitely will stay again if visit Apollo Bay. thanks

We had a lovely time staying in the loft. It is very clean, something important to us and we felt very comfortable. We loved the view, the comfortable bed, the easy kitchen, the location close to the beach and walks. It has been one of the nicest places we have stayed in for convenience and comfort. The car was off the street too.

Catherine was very helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the booking, check in and check out process. The place was amazing and in such a great location in St Kilda. The added touch of putting the fire on for us on arrival, on a cold evening, was very thoughtful. We had a great time in St Kilda and Melbourne, using Catherine's place as a hub made it all the more special. I cannot forget to mention the great recommendations for cafes, bars and restaurants locally that are now on our 'must go back to' list.

Well appointed apartment with large rooms. The greatest asset was its proximity to the beach. It was lovely walking along the foreshore. Wendy was very accommodating for our family and made our stay in Adelaide memorable.

Emily has created a beautiful haven at Howards end. It felt so inviting to walk into and the impeccable styling throughout was a visual treat. The bed was super comfortable and furnishings divine. I can't wait to book my next stay. Thank you Emily. 🤍

This Cottesloe gem is in a wonderful location, perched above the rooflines with stunning skies and ocean views. Stairs are wide and easy access. Close to so many iconic spots and plenty of food options. Adjacent to skate park, tennis courts and endless coastal boulevards for swims, walking and running. Interiors and all towels and linens are to a high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

an amazing place, very well furnished. A perfect holiday place, ideal for a big group. kids will love the place too. has a clean pool n a play area. Enough of indoor games n books :-) for a peaceful read, sitting with birds in the balcony overlooking the town, the cloud clad hills. would love to visit in spring /summer again. thank you, Phil.

This place is beautiful. Furnished with pieces from all over the world, plenty of greenery inside and out. Veronika is very pleasant and helpful. A great little getaway inside Victoria

We had a great stay at George's place. Great view of the breaking waves from the deck, a warm house, comfy bed, well-equipped and stocked kitchen. Communication was easy. All as good as could be!

Host is helpful and responsive. Staffs there are polite & cheerful. The experience is overall comfortable ;) It’s just about 10min drive away from Ubud center.

We were so impressed from the moment we arrived here. It was welcoming and inviting with everything you could need provided for a stay. The hosts were responsive and friendly and we would’ve stayed longer if we could. A short walk to the beach and local restaurants and shops also. We will definitely book again next time we are in the area . 5* highly recommended.

What a fantastic farm oasis Ruth has here. My partner and I escaped for the weekend out of our inner city apartment and loved every bit of it. Cottage vibes, warm fireplace, surreal rolling hill views. Very accommodating weekend, thanks again Ruth.

Absolutely amazing, was only 5 minutes from Apollo Bay, and a tonne of great restaurants, the accommodation was very clean, very secluded, there was a bottle of champage and chocolates upon arrival. The spa with the view absolutely incredible! Everything was thought of. Comfortable bed and loved the gas fireplace so didn't have to cart wood in! I would absolutely recommend this experience and we will be back. Thank you for an amazing stay :)

Absolutely loved our spa weekend stay, so many thoughtful touches, from the quality bed linen and towels, gorgeous toiletries, great record collection, book of well thought out information about the area, places to eat, visit etc. there was even bird food for the native birds which you could hear and see from the well set up outdoor area. It truly felt like you were at home, they really have thought of everything to help their guests enjoy their stay, we will definitely return 😊 too many personal touches to mention but we fully recommend this lovely home.
