Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Melbourne

Wonderful experience. From first communication to the last, Henfry was friendly, courteous and proactive. Directions for parking and accessing the unit were clear and easy. The unit itself was clean, well stocked and comfortable. Lovely views with good wifi. Good heating for a cold few days! Beds were comfortable and the tram (free tram zone) was just outside the front door making the CBD easily accessible. Great place to stay! Highly recommended

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

Vintage Melbourne available at a great price! The location is excellent. Within walking distance to all St. Kilda has to offer as well as easy access to public transportation. Parking was always available in front of the house but the option for a private spot is included. Great value!

Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

Tikali was a great host and the place was perfect. Would definitely stay here again when we’re in town

What a great place close to everything we needed for our stay in Melbourne. Walking distance to Olympic park, trams and the casino. 5 stars

Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

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 to stay. Excellent location (close to beach, tram stop, park and good coffee shop). Well equipped house and kitchen. Very comfortable for our family to stay for the long weekend.

The stay here was perfect. I stayed with my bridal party the night before my wedding and it had everything we needed. Nancy was also very friendly and responsive which made the booking and checking in process seamless.

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Eva’s place is in a great location and was a perfect place for our family of 6. We really appreciated the kindling and firewood that was supplied ahead of a wet and cold weekend in Melbourne. The fire is very easy to light and heats the space beautifully. Thank you 😊

Beautiful house! The outdoor entertaining area was very nice, and it was great being so close to shops in Richmond.

Perfect ! A gals weekend away allowed us to spread out relax and chit chat in a homely comfortable environment….everything was perfect.

Central location with great views! Check-in went smoother than I expected and the apartment was stocked with all the basics. Location was super walkable and convenient. Would definitely opt for this place again!

Lovely little apartment with everything you need for a great weekend. Walking distance to most Melbourne attractions. 25 metre indoor lap pool and gym made sure we stayed active.

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Had a fantastic experience at this apartment in the heart of Melbourne CBD. The host was incredibly responsive, making the entire process seamless from booking to checkout. The apartment itself was immaculately maintained, offering a comfortable retreat after exploring the city. Perfect location, excellent amenities, and top-notch hospitality —highly recommend for anyone visiting Melbourne!

Wow! Location, location, location, and views forever! Everything in Melbourne is right at your doorstep. The views from the apartment are just amazing, and floor to ceiling windows ensure you can take full advantage of the views and the position. There is a supermarket, liquor store, an amazing food court, and shops just downstairs. Trams are just across the street. So convenient. Sam is an amazing host. Nothing was too much trouble, and he responded to our queries almost immediately. I can recommend Sam’s apartment to anyone who visits Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great experience at Yi’s apartment. The location is perfect! Very easy to get around and access many places of interest. Everything was super convenient and well-connected. The host was absolutely wonderful —welcoming, helpful, and made us feel right at home. The space itself was cozy and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

This was such great experience for my friend who stayed here wjo came.from oversease and as her first experience at Air bnb accomodation. The host, Anne was very prompt, lovely and responsive every single requeat we asked for. The neighbourhood vibe was great. My friend said that she would definitely come back with her family in future. I, myself who reseved the place for my friend was more pleased that I made a right choice for her. I as a neighbour and am familiar with the area, will also absolutely recommend anyone who wants to stay in Melbourne. The heating rack in the bathroom was brilliant in this cold weather. The two cats were also very entertaining. In overall, everything was superb.

Thank you, Natalia, for your wonderful hospitality, flexibility and care to your clients. You're a commendable host and would encourage all people to use your apartment. It was clean. You were responsive and very friendly. You went beyond all challenges amidst us having delayed flights and arriving late at your place. Thank you so much. I trust, we shall come back when we return to Melbourne and will recommend our friends to utilize your services
