Family-friendly holiday rentals in Nelson

Great place, Great hosts

Robert was a welcoming host with home made biscuits and slices for us when we arrived. The house is large and well maintained and it has a good vibe. It was a pleasure to stay there and we’re very happy that we did. All in all, an excellent house to accommodate five people in comfort.

Well located in the middle of town (which was quiet so this was fine). We struggled to find a suitable accommodation in Penola or Coonawarra, so this is probably one of the best available. We had no hot water initially but this was resolved very quickly by Karly. We just took the Merlot side, with the mezzanine bedroom, which was HUGE and far bigger than our needs, but clean and spacious. The aircon/heating was a bit tricky to work out.

Warm and cozy, neat and tidy. Great communication with Frank. A great place to stay for 2 people for the weekend. Highly recommend! :)

Frank is an amazing host , the cottage was easy to find and conveniently located near the famous the barn steakhouse and the city of mount Gambier. 10/10 would recommend it!

The accommodation we stayed in at Hearn’s was beautiful. The views were spectacular and proximity to walk direct from the house down to the beach was wonderful. The living room and two front bedroom views were stunning. The house was toasty and warm with the gas fire and heaters in each room. The bathrooms were a little dated and less luxurious than expected. The fourth bedroom - a detached bunk room - which we didn’t use as we’re a family of 4 and only needed three bedrooms - was very basic and had a strange smell. It is located above the garage and accessible via a food opposite the front entry, so not ideal for smaller children and a different quality of accommodation for older children/adults that might be disappointing. Also, given the distance to the nearest cafe, a coffee machine would have been very nice. On a positive note, we loved the shower gel/shampoo provided and despite Airbnb saying there would be no hairdryer, there was one. We had a wonderfully relaxing holiday.

We stayed at Back Vew ( love the name) - we loved the Back View and the tiny cabin had everything we needed and was warm thanks to the Split system. Lovely little town, splendid location, we really enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Ivy's cottage is in a very unique location, tucked away behind a flora and fauna reserve. We enjoyed strolling around the property, visiting the cows, chickens and ducks and saw heaps of kangaroos. We also liked the cosiness of an open fire one night. It felt like a real farm stay experience. The home-cooked bread, biscuits and jam were a treat.

Had a lovely, peaceful stay. 3 days of fishing and relaxation. Perfect place to stay Will certainly recommend to others.

Everything was as expected and despite the wet and cold weather we had cosy stay in Wilkin Cottage. We particularly enjoyed the quiet isolation in this very private bush setting. Sharon was a very friendly and helpful host.

We had a great stay — the place was exactly as described. We had 8 of us in town for a fishing charter, and the house was perfect for what we needed. It was clean, homely, and communication was easy throughout. The games room was definitely a highlight and provided plenty of entertainment. Would happily stay again!

Fabulous house, really comfortable for several couples/families to stay together.

Such a beautiful home loved it. Beds were comfy. Perfect location. Owner was great and thanks for the thins chips you left and the note and thanks for having us in your home.

Stunning location and very comfy bed! A great place to stay if driving from Adelaide to Melbourne like we did!

Longmeadow is simply stunning. The perfect location, the accomodation gives such a homey feeling and is elegant and welcoming. The gardens and beach within walking distance is incredible. Such wonderful hosts, and cannot wait to return again one day!

Michael is an outstanding host with a beautiful and well appointed property. As nursing students, we found it to be very affordable, and peaceful. I highly recommend this property.

We had an amazing stay at Phil and Trudy's place in Port Fairy. The instructions to find the house were clear, though the location was slightly tricky to navigate at first. However, it was absolutely worth it—the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful, with quick and easy access to the beach. Phil and Trudy were fantastic hosts, going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They even opened an extra room for us so we could work and take calls separately, which we truly appreciated. The house itself was a delight—filled with books and games to keep us entertained, including some exceptional reads about Port Fairy’s history. Plus, the nearby coffee spots were excellent, with friendly staff adding to the charm of the area. A perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of Port Fairy. Highly recommend!

This was a great place for our Easter getaway with the family. Anna was helpful and responsive and the home had everything we needed and was great value for our stay. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Comfortable bed with nice linen and basic cooking equipment if you want something simple to eat in the room. Clean and good value for a night or 2.

This is the second time we have stayed. It’s a beautiful home with all the bells and whistles! From the well appointed kitchen with everything you need to the spacious, comfortable bedrooms. The location looking over the Glenelg River is stunning. One of our best trips, thanks Kellie!

David’s Nelson getaway, Tawarri, was absolute serenity. The ambience of the house was incredible—peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully set up. We didn’t need to bring a thing; everything we could have needed was provided. The property is literally a stone’s throw from the picturesque Glenelg River, making it a perfect base for nature lovers. If the weather’s good, there are endless walks in the national park, plenty of fishing opportunities, or you can simply light the fire and relax with a good book on the couch. David was incredibly courteous and helpful throughout our stay. We’ll definitely be back!
