Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Parkville

Loved this house. Craig and Julia are excellent hosts, accommodating our early arrival and late departure. great house for 2 adults and 2 children or 2x2 adults if in couple don't mind twin beds. beds were comfortable. the house is spacious and has a lovely outdoor area and was really clean. kitchen is well stocked if you want to self cater (we didn't but easily could have) although not in the midst of restaurants and pubs, it is very close: walkable for most, but an easy tram ride if not.

At the departure there were some rude comments made by someone else. I really don’t appreciate it. If they can forgive it, I’m willing to continue recommending it to everyone I know. Thank you

I stayed in this charming one-bedroom Fitzroy house while visiting my daughter and found it a lovely, well-located base. The bright downstairs area had a large back window and a small patio — perfect for nice weather. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, even with milk for tea, and all linens and essentials were provided. The airy loft bedroom was comfortable and mostly quiet. The host was excellent — quick to respond and helpful with local tips. One caveat: there was active construction on both sides of the house. While not constant, some days included noise from heavy equipment and hammering, which might matter if you’re home during the day. Otherwise, a great stay just two blocks from the tram and easy walking distance to everything Fitzroy offers.

Great spot, pretty quiet. Easy access to Melbourne CBD and surrounds. Bed was comfy. Would be happy to stay here again.

Great location, easy access to public transport and amenities. Beautifully decorated, a lovely space to escape to.

Such a lovely place to stay in the heart of Brunswick. What was amazing was it was so quite, beautiful birds singing in the morning and it felt like you were miles away from the city.

We loved our starts at Darren’s place. Great location, walking distance to a range of cafes and restaurants as well as public transport. The kids loved the playground at the end of the road.

We had a great stay. Comfy beds, had everything we needed. Super cute courtyard. Well heated. Evie was responsive and communicative well. Great location. Loved the corner pub. Highly recommended.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fiona's. The bed was very comfortable and cosy. Fiona had provided extra bedding which was great as weather turned cold. Good heating facilities..the wall--mounted heater was put to good use. The kitchen well stocked . We loved looking at the art books. Fiona had thoughtfully provided lists of activities and resataurants/cafes close by. Great location ..far enough away from CBD but not too far...,close to tram stop. This took us to the city as well as to the Queen Vic Markets. Fiona's place is in a lovely and peaceful complex of apartments . It was perfect for our 3 night stay. Thanks Fiona !

Andreas was a wonderful host! The apartment was clean and tidy and provided with the necessary equipment. During my stay, we shared many cross-cultural experiences, and he was willing to provide much information about Melbourne. It was very rewarding in just a few days, and I would highly recommend staying at his place!

Amanda's place in Carlton is in a great location, handy to public transport, shops and great eating spots and lots of them! The apartment is lovely. Very comfortable beds and couch in lounge. Light and spacious feeling. Great bathrooms, lots of hot water and very clean. The TV was easy to use and Amanda's instructions always clear and easy to follow. Secure car park was a bonus. We loved out stay . One thing only we managed fine but could have done with another blanket each. There is a wonderful heater , we preferred not to use it at night though. All up a fantastic experience. Thanks Amanda.

Great place, very comfortable with great decor, walkable location, spotlessly clean, very well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend.

I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! Rose was incredibly responsive and provided excellent communication throughout the entire process. The space was clean, comfortable, and just as described. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable stay!

Jack was flexible, friendly, and responsive. His place was everything we needed it to be. Thankful!

Thank you for such a warm and welcoming stay. Henry was an excellent communicator and made everything easy from start to finish!

One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. So close to everything, big space and a beautiful view! The stairs to get to the apartment were quickly forgotten when we walked in. Beautiful place and very kind and generous hosts!

Andrew was the perfect host - he was super helpful, responsive and offered to stay up late in case I had issues getting in, given my late arrival time. Communication was great and very open to helping where possible. The apartment itself was lovely and views were fantastic being on the top floor. You could still hear a lot of the traffic and trams however so perhaps bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper but otherwise not a big deal, just one of the things about being in an urban area. I was there for work so was a very quick stay but it was a close walk for where I needed to be which was great, thanks for having me Andrew and being a fantastic host!

Loved Selina’s place! It was perfect. Great location with everything in walking distance. Perfect little home. Exactly what we thought it would be!

Kate's cosy apartment was super good. Restaurants, theaters, great shopping, transport and even parks all really close by. Really close. Great shower, comfy bed, and so many thoughtful extras that I never expected. Thanks Kate for a wonderful week.

My wife and I had great 5 day stay. Amanda was a great host and clear with her instructions. The unit is in a fantastic position, ultra quiet and close to all you need to do in Melbourne without the hustle and bustle of staying in the CBD. We would gladly stay at Amanda's place again on our next journey to Melbourne. Steven and Lisa

We had a great stay. Everything was as described, very clean, we had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly responsive and we were very comfortable.

I had a fantastic stay at Simon’s place. The apartment was incredibly cosy, spotless and had everything I needed. The location couldn’t have been better - right in the heart of Melbourne Central, making it super easy to get around and explore the city. I especially loved the access to the building’s sauna and gym, which were great extras to have. Simon was an excellent host—very responsive and helpful with any questions I had. He truly made my stay smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend staying here!

This is our second time staying at Monica's place. The apartment is clean and tidy, check in is easy, communication with Monica is always smooth. The apartment is very close to tram station, so it's easy to go anywhere. Definitely recommend it if you're paying a visit to Melbourne.

Loved staying here for a few nights. The kitchen is fully stocked which was helpful to cook at home, great location with cafes nearby. Everything was clean and neat and the space is amazing for the price. The washer and dryer were very handy too. Would definitely stay again.
