Garden Bungalow with the Possums
Barbara is a wonderful and caring host with a genuine interest in pthers. The accommodation is set in a beautiful garden and has a lovely cottagey feel. It is in a great location near public transport and a great array of shops. It is also lovely to be able to walk to the beach. Could not have been happier.

Arty Funky Studio - free bikes
Our two night stay at Anthony's was very comfortable - a great little place with everything we needed. Fabulous location as so easy to get around and with all the attractions of inner city north. We would love to return and next time get out on the bikes!

Wake up across the road from the beach!
Host was responsive and proactive, keen to give guests a positive experience. House is well located, walkable distance to shops and restaurants and the beach. Thanks for having me! Will definitely visit again.

Creek Studio
This is a beautiful little spot in a convenient part of Melbourne - tram and trains very close as is a choice of cafes, restaurants and shops. Vicki and John were very helpful when they heard I wasn’t well - that was appreciated. Next time I stay I will be hoping for better health and warmer weather!

LOVELY SELF-CONTAINED STUDIO!!!
Nous avons passé un très beau séjour dans le Studio. Simone et Adam on été très gentils, accueillants et disponibles afin de rendre notre séjour des plus agréable. On retournera avec grand plaisir dans leur studio si nous repassons dans le coin. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement 😃

Warrandyte Treetop Retreat.
The Treetop Retreat is simply stunning—an absolutely perfect escape for a relaxing getaway. Nestled in a peaceful, quiet location with a beautiful, serene outlook over the treetops, it offers tranquility both inside the cottage and out on the verandah. I especially loved being able to soak in the gorgeous view from both spots. Its close proximity to the river and state park was a real highlight—I really enjoyed the scenic walk along the river into town. The cottage itself was immaculately clean, thoughtfully organised, and tastefully appointed. The bed was incredibly comfy (so important for a good night’s sleep!), and the little treats were much appreciated—and enjoyed! Sally is the most beautiful and receptive host—it was such a blessing to meet you, Sally. Warrandyte holds a special place in my heart, and having this beautiful cottage as my base was truly a gift. I absolutely loved my stay and have no doubt I’ll be back again. Thank you so much for your kind and generous hospitality.

Long Island Getaway Patterson Lakes

Garden Suite in the Dandenong Ranges

Private Getaway - Portarlington!
Great place, new and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Perhaps a fan in the rooms as it was quite warm at night but otherwise, all good :)

The Farm on One Tree Hill
We very much enjoyed our stay at Adrienne’s place. From the moment we got there check in was super easy and the basket full of goodies alongside the eggs were such a generous welcome gift! The amenities were great and lots of programs to watch on the TV. We highly recommend staying here!

Stylish guest house, in between CBD&airport
Well where do I start? On behalf of my wife & I we would like to say thank you Yulia for allowing us into your beautiful bnb. It's like a hidden gem tucked away until you walk into it, only then you will understand. Highly recommended, communication was on point - I asked for an additional night without no problem which was adjusted pretty much immediately which was awesome. Looking forward to staying here on our next visit to Melbourne. Thanks Yulia🙏

Eagle Hill Hideaway
Our little family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eagle Hill! This is the cleanest small house I have ever stayed in. The property itself is beautiful with plenty of space and breath taking views. We enjoyed our coffee (compliments of the coffee machine) on the deck every morning taking in the native animals and cooked dinner on the bbq provided each night. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and we appreciated oil, salt, pepper and other bits and pieces like quality body wash, hand soaps and comfortable bed linen. Huge thanks to Duncan who communicated with ease, allowed us space and privacy and kindly left us carrots each morning for our boys to feed the horses. Well located between towns with plenty to do a short-drive away. We hope to come back again one day soon!

Entire private guesthouse w/ patio & bbq
We had an amazing stay with Azar, the cottage is beautiful, and so is the area. The place was spotlessly clean and the kitchen provided everything that we could’ve wanted. I was happy with how easy it was to keep the cottage warm, the weather got a bit chilly, but the inside felt very cosy with the heater. A freshly washed blanket on the couch was a very nice touch, it made me feel comfortable and assured me that it was clean. Azar also left some snacks for us to nibble on, which was very kind. The neighboring forrests and parks are wonderful, and offer much needed peace and tranquility. We recommend this place very much and are hoping to stay again sometime in the future!

Beachside oasis & Parkside bliss
Very cute place that looked exactly like the photos, was very well looked after and had a very fresh vibe. Would definitely stay again, very friendly host and super responsive and instructive of local shops/ places available in area.

Montrose Hideout
Fabulous stay at Peter and Jen’s place. The outside bath and fire were so beautiful. Fantastic amenities and brekkie provided. Thanks so much for having us!

Guest house on the park
I had a truly wonderful stay at Sophie’s place in Melbourne! From the moment I arrived, everything was perfectly arranged — the space was clean, cozy, and felt just like home. Sophie was an amazing host — kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with any questions or recommendations. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness made my stay both comfortable and memorable. I felt safe, relaxed, and well cared for throughout my time there. I would highly recommend Sophie’s place to anyone visiting Melbourne, and I would definitely love to return! Thank you, Sophie, for making my trip extra special!

Oikos: A sunny self-contained unit in Coburg
Oikos is a sweet sanctuary in the city. Quiet, private, peaceful. Beautifully built, light filled rooms with garden views, lots of closet space and a comfortable bedroom. It’s an easy walk to the train, shops and a pretty little lake and riverside walking path. Tessa and David are kind and thoughtful hosts who made us feel right at home. Recommend!

Coastal by the Creek
We had a fantastic 10-night stay at Mark’s Airbnb with family. The place is beautifully organized, comfortable, and filled with all the amenities we needed. Its convenient location made exploring easy while still offering a peaceful retreat. The home was spotless, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed. Mark was an excellent host—responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend this place and would love to stay again!

*Promo* 2 Minutes Walk to Train Station!
The photos are accurate, what you see is what you get. This is a very convenient place to stay due to the train station being so close. The hosts are incredibly helpful and responsive. For example, I found one of the mattresses too hard and they changed it on the same day. We stayed for a month and they also provided a change of bed linen when requested. We saw the best sunsets from the front room window/driveway. Keep in mind that having the station right there means that you can hear the train. This is a unit with a shared driveway. We stayed in unit 5, the last one at the end of the driveway, it is a mirror image of the one in the photos and it is next to the field/playground of a primary school. During school days we heard the entrance and recess music, all school announcements loud and clear, and children playing on every recess. I would not call this a particularly peaceful place because the noise levels are one the high end.

Light filled self-contained 1 bedroom studio
Well appointed with all essentials. Lis was a very helpful and generous hostess. convenient to services and family.

Cosy inner city loft with the comforts of home
I really enjoyed staying at Denise's place. It's a very cute second floor space in the back of her courtyard separate from the house. It was very cozy and comfortable. I was able to do laundry and hang them on the laundry line in the backyard. Great windows out front that welcomed the morning sun. And very easy to get to the local train station which was under a five minute walk away. Lots to do in the area in very safe. Thank you Denise!

Cosy stay in Newport
Bronte was an excellent host. Super friendly and accommodating. The place is a perfect little self contained space. Spotlessly clean and some lovey little touches. The park across the road was lovely for a walk and a play on the playground.

Skyview Studio
Great place to stay and the owner is very helpful. Natural wake-up and unique design of the room.

Fab Fitzroy Studio - Laneway Lifestyle
Lovely place in the heart of Fitzroy! Walkable to many lovely restaurants, bars, and cafes. Conveniently located near public transit. Hosts were kind and responsive, and happy to help with travel recommendations and questions about the unit/neighborhood. Would definitely stay in this lovely studio again!
