Family-friendly holiday rentals in Kennett River

Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

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.

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

Pauline’s property in Apollo Bay was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The property is beautifully maintained, with stunning views of the surrounding nature that made every morning special. The interior is cozy yet modern, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect for us — peaceful and chill! Coming back to such a serene retreat was the perfect way to unwind after a great day out exploring Apollo Bay. Pauline was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering great local tips. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the warm hospitality. Overall, our experience was exceptional, and we would highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful place, The hosts were really friendly and very helpful. Even gave us fererro roches and fresh fruit. Offered us late checkout too ! Really kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure and 100% would recommend this beautiful spot.

We had a great stay at this lovely house! The house was spotless, well-furnished , had comfortable beds and was well-stocked and equipped with everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Situated in a peaceful location, it is an easy stroll to beach and local shops. Dariusz is a great host providing an informative “Welcome pack” a few days prior to our stay. We would definitely love to stay again when we visit Apollo Bay next time.

Convenient location to shops and the beach. Sadly, it was raining during our stay but the deck with the seats made us enjoy the rain more. Would stay again ✨

John’s place was perfect. Beautiful inside and the most peaceful, stunning view to simply sit and look out on. The home has everything we would ever need, is super close to cafes and dinner spots and is clean and comfortable. John is a wonderful host, there if you need him with a smile and chat, incredible local information and respectful privacy. We will definitely be back!

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.

Joanne's place was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Very helpful and even lit the fire for us before arrival. Very much enjoyed our stay.

It was so surreal, the place was nice and cozy and a perfect getaway to take a moment to let yourself breath and relax

Had a great stay here. Clean, quiet, and perfect for just kicking back and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

Deb & Pete we're great hosts and ensured we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay in their well set up apartment that worked well for us for the 3 nights we stayed. Highly recommend staying here and we would certainly en joy staying here again.

A last minute request met with warm hospitality. The cottage was warm, ambient, with classical music playing in the background and a heated bed with the electric blanket. Whilst it rained the whole time, my little dog and I enjoyed the peaceful retreat and braved the rain for a walk to the near by shops. The location is perfect with everything at your door steps. Tony and Graeme are fantastic hosts. The fresh fruit bowl was generous and the abundant books, games, DVDS were enough to want to stay in and chill. Very lucky to have found this home away from home.

Perfect place for a family get away, walking distance to beach and close to all amenities.

We loved our stay here. Such a beautiful view from the deck and bedroom. Laying in bed listening to the waves was perfect. Even though we had a very cold weekend and lost power one day the house stayed warm with the wood fire. Beds were very comfortable and warm. everything you could think you needed was provided. Easy walk to the Wye River store and cafe. Would love to come back in summer and be able to relax on the deck watching the ocean.

Amazing view and location. Fabulous comfortable beds, lounge and dining. Cleanliness needs attention for it to be quality rated across all fields. Rule for clients to clean before leaving ( sweep, mop etc) is excessive for a short stay accommodation.

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing two-night stay at Glen View as a stopover during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey on the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a truly beautiful section of the GOR where rolling green hills and farmlands meet the ocean. The cottage is delightfully laid out and well provisioned, with quality bedding and toiletries, a lovely fire-place and a shed full of wood (and reverse cycle a/c for the summer months and the impatient!) A visit to the chicken shed to collect farm fresh eggs and the orchard for some lemons was a nice treat for us suburbanites! The kitchen is fully functional with pretty much all equipment you could need, including a coffee machine. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

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 great long weekend away at Chris’ property. The house had plenty of space for us all with amazing views despite the wet weather of the weekend. We were kept warm and dry with the wood fire and heaters in all bedrooms. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Mario as a host was very welcoming, accomodation, and understanding. However, I’ll leave the management real estate agent up to you to decide. One of a few places in Lorne who allow pets. A rare find. Thanks Mario.

A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

We had the most wonderful time - our accommodation was perfect, had everything we needed, with an ocean view! The friendliness and hospitality Mike gave us was what made our time here so special - we enjoyed walking up the hill for sunrises and sunsets, greeting their Shetland ponies, finding their resident koala, and watching the cockatoos fly about. This is a very beautiful place to visit if you want to spend a few days relaxing and disconnecting. Would most definitely recommend, and we will be returning!

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.
