Holiday rentals with a kayak in Yarra River

Thanks Fi for a fabulous stay! Your place had something special for everyone and was truly a well equipped ‘home away from home’. Our only regret is that we didn’t book longer! Hopefully we are lucky enough to return again one day for longer 😊 Thanks also for being an amazing host and for promptly answering all the questions I had too. You were such a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Fi and her ‘surf beach’ getaway.

Booked this place last minute, The house was absolutely spotless and beautifully decorated. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we settled in well and was very responsive. Host was very considerate offering flexible check out also.

Queenie was extremely responsive and checked in onus to make sure everything was set. Had a me was modern and clean. An excellent stay

We and the kids absolutely loved our stay. From the big backyard and ping pong table on the deck to the spacious living areas and comfy beds, we couldn't find any fault whatsoever. It's close to the beach and a couple of eateries, but very peaceful. looking forward to returning soon!

Our family loved staying at the Barefoot Beach House - the house contained everything that needed for a family stay (the caravan cubby was a huge hit with the kids) and there was plenty of space to spread, but still be connected. Location so close to the beach was amazing. Definitely a place to return to!

We were looking for a quiet family weekend away and it was just what we needed! Absolutely loved our stay - the accommodation and location was perfect. It was cold and rainy all weekend so the fireplace was a win! We still managed to explore the area a bit despite the rain, which was lovely - nice and central for some great day trips Trentham, Kyneton and Daylesford. Lovely walks around the property too! Our fur child loved her time too, she was fascinated with the kangaroos and bunnies.

We had a great relaxing time with two families. We enjoyed the house and its surroundings. The house was very clean with all ammenities! We appreciate the host who was always very responsive. Would recommend!

Great place for our crew to stay whilst working at local schools. Would highly recommend!

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage for an anniversary. Great location by some beautiful state forest. Very cozy spending time by the fireplace.

A rare gem—pure bliss by the lake! We stayed one night at Cottage by the Lake, but it felt like a world away from everything. Just 5 minutes from Hanging Rock, this stunning waterfront property features two tranquil lakes, complete with a rowboat and kayaks that guests are free to enjoy. The cottage itself is warm, inviting, and beautifully appointed with a wood fireplace (firewood generously supplied). The upper-level attic bedroom is spacious and cosy, while the well-stocked kitchen had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Hosts Ann and Kevin were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’d be remiss not to mention Jock, the sweetest dog who welcomed us on arrival and came by for regular visits. He loves pats and hugs and truly made us feel at home. This place is a nature lover’s paradise—kangaroos all around, stunning views, and absolute peace. A rare find we won’t forget. Wish we stayed longer. We will be back for a longer visit next time!

A great spot just a short walk from the dog beach and the home is comfortable and a lovely spot to relax. Just note the property is not fully fenced if you are bringing a dog. Great communication and a lovely part of the world to holiday.

Beautiful location, peaceful and relaxing. Loved everything about it especially all the extra details that are put into this property. Thank you Janine for being so accommodating and very responsive. Absolutely love my stay.

Susan's place was exactly what we were looking for for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. It's close enough for an easy drive, lovely scenery, and a very comfortable place to stay. Lancefield was the closest town which had all of the the food and restaurant options we could use. The bed was fantastic, and there were extra blankets, towels, and enough cutlery and crockery for a couple of people on a weekend away. We had tea, coffee, and very kindly some fruit and biscuits for us on arrival which made it feel right at home. The property is listed as pet friendly, and it's so well organised for the pup that we had everything at hand that we needed including towels to keep her dry when it was raining outside. The hot tub was great, and although the weather wasn't fantastic, it was lovely to spend the evening in. I could go on, but if you're reading this, and need a short stay away in the country this is the place to be.

We had the most wonderful stay at Cindy & Jeff’s Bungalow. We felt a million miles away whilst being close to all the region has to offer. We were just happy to have a drink, sit by the fire and go fishing. Luckily for us we had some luck, catching a very decent gummy shark on night 1! Bring your bogs and enjoy the country, feed the cows and eat some fresh eggs. We will be back!

Jim and Louisa’s pod is a perfect private Haven, walking disrance to the beach, beautiful garden for a little dog to run out at the front, and the pod had all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot spa at night looking at the stars is a must. Definitely recommend!

Amazing location! Incredible set up! Just a beautiful property! The Lake was a low which made it a little hard to access, but we made it work and still caught fish, enjoyed a kayak and plenty of swimming.

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.
