Family-friendly holiday rentals in Greater Geelong City

Swan Bay views was the perfect accommodation for our needs as a couple with a dog. It had everything we needed from a large secure backyard for the dog to a warm and cosy one bedroom apartment with high quality king size bed, fully equipped kitchen and laundry. We appreciated the extra touches on arrival with the lovely sourdough bread, lemon cake and home made jams, prewarmed rooms, instructions and local recommendations. It was a nice blend of B&B and AirBnB with the lovely provisions and well stocked kitchen and owners onsight but out of site. The location was a short walk to main street and a nice and quiet location with beautiful views of Swan bay to greet you each morning.

This was the perfect place to stay for our family. The house was very well appointed and met all our needs. The cupboards were well stocked with supplies and even the fridge was thoughtfully stocked with milk, eggs, bread and bacon. We would stay again in this comfy suburban home if the need arose.

Highly recommended, the house was clean, beds were comfy and the spa was all ready to go when we got there! Thankyou Jo for a wonderful stay!

Accomodation was as described. Bedrooms nice and spacious. Lots of little touches, and everything I needed. Would stay again. 👍

Graeme was a great host, will be back! Awesome location nested in bush land, perfect for a peaceful night away

We stayed here for 2 nights and I must say it was a great experience. The location is private & cosy. The cabin is spacious and cosy, loved the heater with the lights. Location wise it is close to the beach so thats also a plus.

We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

Julia And Marcus were wonderful hosts; the house was exactly as pictured and there was plenty to do for our three kids. There is a nearby playground within a few minutes walk which was really handy and the house was comfortable for our family of five. The property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the check in and instructions were clear. Would highly recommend!

The home was fantastic with all the amenities you could need. Secure yard for our dog and still enough space for him to move about. Clean kitchen and bathroom. Lovely linen and bedding. Plenty of heating options. An easy 2 minute walk down to the Main Street with restaurants/ cafes. Would recommend staying here and we look forward to returning!

This was our 3rd (or 4th!) stay at the Cottesloe Beach Shack. Gorgeous stay as always, Rebecca super helpful and we just love this place. Super dog friendly with lots of space for everyone. The recent renovations and updates are gorgeous, including the new outdoor space - we can't wait to get back to use it in some warmer weather! Look forward to getting back again soon.

Had a great stay at Michelle’s place. Would highly recommend! So close to the shops, and very short drive to beautiful Barron heads. We had four little kids with us and they spent 90% of their time out the back playing in all there was to offer.

Fantastic stay and would love to return! Very impressed with everything and loved the weekend away. Fully equipped and well stocked, the place had everything we needed and would expect from an Airbnb

We loved staying at Deborah's place. It was well set up for hosting with lovely touches like nice soaps, an amazing shower head and was peaceful and quiet but within walking distance to the beach and shops. Perfect for our quiet family holiday ❤️

Really enjoyed my stay here, close to Lake Connewarre, Barwon Heads and the Walk for Truth sections between Morreware and Geelong. Tony kindly lit the woodfire for me so the place was toasty when I arrived, and he was very responsive about firewood and when the gas ran out it was quickly dealt with. I got to see the sunrise each morning without having to get out of bed! Everything I needed in the kitchen so I could prepare my own meals. A peaceful and relaxing stay, thank you!

Thank you so much for hosting us, Fiona! Your place was perfect for our 2 night getaway to visit our tribe of cousins. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Perfect for 3 adults!

Great house for a big group. Spacious and clean, had everything we needed for two family’s to attend a wedding.

Absolutely beautiful home, super clean, such a beautiful homely feel. So so much space. Rooms and beds are fantastic. So close to the beach also. Pool was very cold. Spa is lovely. The only down fall was having to bring your own linen, to expensive to pay for bedding to be arranged. Will def stay again.

We had a great stay at this clean and spacious bungalow. The location was perfect, and the place had everything we needed. Even though it rained all weekend and we didn’t get to use the amazing amenities like the pool and tennis court, we’ll definitely be booking again in summer to enjoy them properly. The host was super responsive and helpful, thanks again!

We had a beautiful stay over a long weekend. The kids barely got out of the pool the whole time! house was well equipped and Bree was really helpful and lovely to deal with. We will definitely be staying again!

A very special house, well loved in immaculate condition, and also in a perfect location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Avila. The house is very spacious and comfortably accommodated our large group. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing short break. The location is literally a short walk of 5 minutes to the beach. Summer was very easy to deal with and the instructions regarding the premises were clearly outlined in the house manual.

My family and I (11) really enjoyed our Easter here. The home was relaxed and comfortable. Plenty for the young ones to do. The pool was a hit they really only came out to eat! The pool table in the family room was a great hit for the big kids. The rooms are well set out and there are a couple of quiet spaces if needed. If you are looking for a space for a large family this is it. Well worth the money you won’t be disappointed

Lovely house! The rooms were very comfy and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and the outdoor kitchen was fantastic. Location is great - very convenient to be near the supermarkets and a short drive to the beach. Belinda is a great host, very responsive and helpful. Would recommend to anyone to stay here!

Frank was a great host & left simple checkin instructions. The house was as described & was excellent for a large group (16), with good indoor & outdoor entertainment areas. Slightly inconvenient having to provide your own linen given we were a large group - but this was outlined in the listing & Frank's reminder message. Would definitely stay again.
