Cottage holiday rentals in Koonwarra

A truly beautiful experience staying at the Wild Orchid Cottage. It is evident to see the love and thought Pia has put into the place. The cottage is in a perfect location and the surroundings are majestic. Pia could not have been more helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, for that we are so grateful.

Fantastic venue. My partner and I booked this quiet getaway to celebrate new years. It had the peace and quiet we were after. The host was also very accommodating answering any questions we had. We highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a quiet getaway with a great and reaponsive host. 5/5 stars.

Absolutely lovely cottage, even better than the photos. Host also provided amenities and fresh bread which was such a treat, really cute get away for a short stay. Only thing to note is that the main road is close so you will hear cars driving past all night and windows face the public/ other guests.

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Sea Salt BNB! The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home. Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The location was ideal for exploring the nearby beach and local attractions. We especially loved the charming decor and the little touches that made our stay extra special. We can’t wait to return for another relaxing escape!

We had a lovely stay! The host was very nice and always responded quickly to any questions we had, which made everything smooth and easy. The location is great—it's within a kid-friendly hotel, and we were able to access the hotel facilities, which was a big plus for our family. Everyone enjoyed the stay, and we'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place to stay. The cottage was perfect for our group and had everything we needed. The local area had so much going on and Julie’s recommendations of things to do I. The area were stunning and kept us busy. Highly recommend - and would stay again!

We had such a great time staying at Lauretta’s Airbnb! The area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. There were so many amazing sites and scenic hikes nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Lauretta was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed something. Her place had such a unique charm, from the decor to the overall vibe—it really added to the experience and made it feel special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy spot with character and access to nature. Thanks again, Lauretta!

We were provided with comprehensive information for directions to the property, their expectations regarding dogs that are brought to the farm, and information on what was available to do at the farm and nearby and further away towns . We never met Nicola, but met Bernie and Diane, who were both friendly and helpful. On arrival our door locks were not operating properly and Bernie came promptly, when we called him, and spent time, himself, to fix the problem. Diane spent a long time showing us the 3 friendly camel's on the property and answering our questions about them. We enjoyed sitting on the rear deck of the Rainbow Cottage watching the flames settle to a glow in the fire pit, observing the river taking with it a pelican as it flowed past, looking at the stars in the night sky, and seeing and hearing the sounds of nature. The breakfast provisions were more than we could get through and it was lovely to be given a choice of the type of milk and bread we preferred. A great stay

We stayed here before and after our wedding. What a little slice of paradise. Sitting on the balcony, listening to the birds in the morning was a lovely reminder to slow down and soak in this beautiful place. Direct access to the winery and only a short 10 minute drive from our wedding venue. The rooms are fantastic and bathrooms are just something else! Beautiful home and beautiful host. Thank you very much for sharing your perfect space with us. Love, the Newlyweds!

We had a great week at Steve’s place. The house was spacious, the yard was open and like being out in nature with only a short 3 minute walk to the dog beach. The neighbours were all very friendly too when bumping into them! We couldn’t have been happier and look forward to heading back soon!

Lovely little cottage perfectly situated for easy walking around Cowes. Comfortable beds with linen supplied. We had a very relaxing weekend stay. Thanks Joanne.

We LOVED our stay at Kay’s summer house. We got wonderful holiday vibes from the moment we stepped inside the cute cottage - and our pups loved the large fenced in backyard. The house was super clean and easily the most well appointed and equipped Airbnb so far!

We had a great time. Penny is a great host and the place is great for exploring the peninsula. The location is perfect, only minutes walk to all the amenities including a local library, cinema, various shops and lovely beaches. Our puppy loved going to the beach and played in the water. Penny’s place is great value for money. The people in town were just so friendly to us. I highly recommend Penny’s place.

Beautiful cottage. Had a beautiful aura as soon as we got in. Amazing outdoor deck with chairs. House was so well presented. Very clean. Petrina clearly has a lot of passion and we were made to feel very welcomed. Perfect for our dogs too. They loved it. I highly recommend this place and when we come again, we will certainly try to stay here again.

I needed the mini getaway and the Fern cottage was just the perfect place. It was peaceful, clean and most of all it was pet friendly. So glad I booked it! We had a great time. Thank you Jennifer and Cliff for your hospitality and having us at your beautiful property.

this place is amazing... rustic and old world cosy. we absolutely loved it, and one of the cheapest places in venus bay... dont tell the owners.

Great house to stay in a great location, would recommend

A Perfect Country Retreat! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful country property, and I can wholeheartedly give it a 10/10! The peaceful atmosphere and stunning views made for a truly relaxing getaway. The highlight was the amazing bathtub with a view—soaking while enjoying the picturesque landscape was simply delightful. The accommodations were cozy, and the host was warm and attentive. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking tranquility, and I look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

It was a wonderful place to spend the night with family. More than ample space to host a lovely family dinner and board games afterwards. The fireplace made it all the more cosy.

Everything we needed, comfortable bed and the couch was not low and hard to get out of. Delightful location on the balcony with Bellbirds and Fantails. Plenty of secure exploring area for our dog.

Perfect for a little weekend getaway in the Dandenong mountains.

My partner and I went to the Gembrook cottages, specifically Harem and it was a amazing. We were greeted by a lemon scent and beautiful interior that seems to be inspired by Egypt with splendid antiques. We had a great time. Highly recommended. Thanks :)

We had three days spare when visiting Melbourne and found Natalie and Philip's place available, not too far from Wilsons Prom and at a good price. The dirt road leading to the house was in good condition, the house is charming and very well equipped, Philip gave us a warm welcome, even though we came well after dark. There are no shops or restaurants nearby, so bring the food and drinks you need. We absolutely loved the house and enjoyed our interaction with Philip, Daisy the blind dog and the chooks. A very peaceful and special place.

Naomi was a wonderful host! The Forest cottage was in a serene location and was a great place to unwind for the weekend. It was a short drive to some beautiful towns in the Dandenong and the sound of the kookaburras and the bubbling creek was a lovely soundscape to kick off our relaxing stay!
