Family-friendly holiday rentals in Victoria

Our stay with Karina was lovely, the house was just what this girl’s weekend needed. The gardens, grounds, veggie patch and chicken coop was absolutely delightful to wander through during early hours of the morning for breakfast, and late evening to pick dinner supplies. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

The whole experience was fantastic. Very rustic and comfortable accommodation. Loved the quiet and serenity of the property. Everything you needed was there (except milk) and the shower/bath may be a challenge if you are anyway limited with mobility. Loved the wildlife. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely stay at Swan Bays View Apartment - Glenys and Geoff were perfect hosts - they think about everything including a real coffee machine, soy milk, generous provisions so you really didn't have to think about a thing. A wonderfully cozy self contained roomy apartment was provided. Glenys also provided lots of tips, advice and information on local history, geography and the best places to eat in the area. The hot tub was an added bonus, perfect in the colder weather and they made sure it was heated prior to our arrival - fantastic! Thanks again for the wonderful stay, we will be back again soon! Graeme and Victoria.

We had a great stay at George's place. Great view of the breaking waves from the deck, a warm house, comfy bed, well-equipped and stocked kitchen. Communication was easy. All as good as could be!

Lady Marmalade has quickly become a favourite for our annual girls trip. It’s cozy, close to the shops and a beautiful house. We look forward to our visit every year. James is a great host and very friendly and responsive.

Beautiful location that we and our dog loved. So peaceful and relaxing - the perfect way to escape the city for a couple of days. And the cottage itself was super cute but had everything we needed.

Genuinely wonderful! Go beachfront if you can - it is worth it. Views incredible, villa is perfect, location is out of this world. Will definitely be back.

We loved Gingers on the Hill. It feels like home and is full of thoughtful touches to make your trip away that little bit special. It's an elegant nod to the mid-century aesthetic and so comfortable and quiet. So great. Highly recommend.

This was such a charming place; the photos don’t do it justice. There is ample heating, so you won’t need to worry about freezing in the autumn/winter months. Plus, there’s a beautiful fireplace with firewood provided. The back of the house opens out to a grazing field, so if you’re lucky, you might spot a couple of cows hanging out. We visited in autumn, so the view of the backyard was absolutely stunning. We loved our stay here and highly recommend it.

Cute little Eco-lodge, beautiful scenes to wake up to, and saw lots of lovely wildlife around the property. If you are staying here you are looking for a remote getaway, so there’s no shops within walking distance. Simple getaway for a bit of relaxation time!

Beautiful and quaint -just like the photos. The bathroom was great. Plenty of hot water and a decent shower nozzle. The place had everything we needed including a fireplace and split system heater. Lizzie was responsive and the place is easy to find-just a 5 min drive from Castlemaine. There are properties around you so this is not rural acreage but there is a small area out the front to sit and watch the world go by. Would definitely stay again

We had a great stay at Tanglewood, we were visiting family on the area. Lovely place well kitted out very peaceful and tranquil and a good size. Roslyn is lovely and a great host. We would definitely recommend and return

Duncan is a great host. Everything is exactly the same from the photo. We had a wonderful holiday at Duncan’s place. Our kids and doggy love it. Will definitely recommend to our friend and we will be back ! Thanks Duncan.

Wow! A beautiful place that's been made with love...and you can feel it! We particularly appreciated Buffy's swift call to warn us that we'd left some of our gear behind. A great country stay, highly recommended

I loved my stay at The Stables! It was such a lovely space and the generosity and obvious care for her guests from Georgina made it even more special. The bed was comfy, the black out blinds worked well, the location was fab, I will 100% stay again!

What a great little spot to unwind with the family. We had a great stay at Henry’s cottage. It was a wet and cold weekend which was perfect for bunkering down with a cosy fire, board games, puzzles and books! The kitchen was well equipped, a lovely clean bathroom and super comfortable beds. Also in walking distance to the coffee shop and local pub serving great food. Will definitely stay again! :)

We had a very comfortable stay at Fiona's. It had everything we needed. So warm by the lovely fire and plenty of firewood. The beds are extremely comfy and I loved the beautiful views of the farm and countryside. The peace and quiet was so welcome and we both wished we could have stayed longer to investigate the surrounding areas. We did see a lot though in 2 days. Loved the lake out at Eildon, the views are spectacular. I can highly recommend a stay at the farm. Thanks again Susan and Ian

Felt like home & so peaceful. Highly recommend the suggestion to see the morning horse training at the beach in front of the Pavilion Cafe. Would love to return in summer to enjoy the pool.

We keep coming back to the Farm Cottage because we love the peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation, excellent location, feeding the animals with James in the mornings, and playing with Zeus the sheepdog. It was our fourth visit and we are already planning another stay! A huge thank you to Michelle and James for welcoming us back again, and for being such wonderfully hospitable and kind hosts.

The house is right opposite The District Docklands, which I really want to find. The host was very helpful with the instructions and quick to reply. The house itself was very nice, clean and have all the essential amenities to make my stay comfortable and feels like home. The view was superb and pretty. Highly recommended!

This was a four day getaway for us and it surely was. The cottage is so beautifully decorated, extremely clean surrounded with lovely gardens. The property is so private and peaceful. Thanks again Peter and Jamie.

Nicola’s house is set in a beautiful well cared for garden! The house is as beautiful as the garden! Nicola was a very responsive host who left us an extremely well stocked kitchen! Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us Nicola!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Esther's. The location was terrific, and the setting beautiful- secluded and tranquil but only a two minute drive into town. Well set up for kids and adults alike and cosy in cold weather - we loved feeding the native birds and even spotting a wallaby and its baby in the yard one morning!

This was the perfect place to celebrate my Dad's 80th birthday with close family. It is spacious with stunning views across the fields with cows and the odd kangaroo. We loved the pool, the indoor fire, the outdoor fire pit and the games room. The kids loved exploring the tree house, playing basketball and feeding the friendly ponies and goats. Excellent communication with the owners of this beautiful property made this a very relaxing experience.
