Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Merimbula

Our second year staying at Serendip, and we loved it even more this time around. A beautiful cottage with heaps of charm, in the most incredible place. Rachel is warm, welcoming and goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. So many thoughtful touches to make your stay enjoyable.

We loved our stay, beautiful house and scenery. Enjoyed the pool and how private the house is.

We were three families, and this was easily one of the best stays we've had in a long time. The property was exceptionally well-equipped, with thoughtful touches far beyond the basics, clearly reflecting the care Victoria has put in. Victoria was a wonderful host, providing clear check-in instructions and checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. The beach was just a 4-minute walk away, and the full wall of windows offered stunning sunrise views, perfectly enjoyed from the comfy couch with coffee in our hands. Bedrooms were spotless and cozy, and the bathrooms were very clean, something which was one of our criteria. The outdoor BBQ area, with seating for 12, was a highlight. There are lots of toys for kids and good indoor activities as well. Thank you Victoria. We now know exactly where to stay the next time we're in Tathra.

What a unique, character filled, art-loving, cosy place to stay in a magical location! We loved waking up and watching the sunrise from the generous bed and then having coffee on the deck soaking up the autumn sun and listening to the sounds of the bush. Our dog loved the space to run around, as much as we enjoyed taking a few days at a slower pace. I really appreciated the small details- cute ceramics to sip tea from and to make our platters look extra special. Highly recommend the box house!

Very peaceful. Easy to get out for a quick walk along the lake. Nice place to relax!

Thanks so much for hosting us this weekend. The cottage was cosy and perfect home base for trips to the sapphire coast.

Very clean and serviceable. 2 of us stayed, but would be also comfortable for many more.

This beautiful old church was a pleasure to stay at. Located on a large private block on a hill overlooking the village of Wolumla, it offers peace and quiet with stunning views of the rolling hills below, all within a short drive to Merimbula, Pambula and the beautiful little settlement of Candelo. The residence is open plan, which makes it perfect for young families with kids, while the separate bathhouse, shower and toilet offers privacy where it matters. With high ecclesiastical ceilings and beautiful old stained glass window features, not to mention wonderful acoustics, it’s a really unique experience. And the external deck is a great place to share a meal or admire the view. A rare spot and a truly wonderful stay. Our seven-year-old son especially loved it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something different.

We had a wonderful week exploring Tathra and surrounding areas. Katie’s home was the perfect base and so beautifully set up with everything you need. Great location to be able to walk to the wharf, Chamberlain lookout, supermarket, Kianinny Bay and just generally explore the town. Thank you so much to Katie, Edith and Olive for letting us borrow your home for the week. We can’t wait to return!

We had a long trip driving with 3 little ones from Melbourne to Sydney. We decided to spend 2 nights at Harvey's on the way and it was a perfect place to rest and relax. We appreciate all the thought that you have put into making it a really welcoming and comfortable. We loved watching and listening to the birds and the stunning views. Thank you for sharing this very special place!

My kids and I have enjoyed staying at Phil’s place numerous times. It’s perfect if the family don’t mind sharing an open plan room. It’s close to the beach and bike tracks which suits our needs. Will return!

Perfect location and easy to get to everything. Walks and a swim at Bar Beach every morning was a great way to start the day. Stunning views of the Lake. Leonie was a great host and made our first AirBnb experience A1. Great communication right from the start. We will definitely be back. Thanks again Leonie.

Anthony and Ana are superb hosts with regular communication. The location is so convenient and everything is within walking distance. We were so happy to explore Bermagui knowing we could return to a lovely comfortable residence.

Great stay. friendly host and its in the middle of Bermagui. Our only regret was we didn't book for a longer stay.

Paul and Lee were warm and welcoming hosts and we loved our time at the View. Its location and great view were as described. My only disappointment was that the two single beds were bunk beds. Paul’s photos show this clearly, but I had pictured “two single beds” as twin beds. No doubt, it was my lack of attention to detail that caused the issue, but I think worth highlighting. In short, the perfect configuration for a family with kids, but not so much for two older couples.

What an absolute gem, this quirky, gorgeous flat is a dream to stay at, we loved absolutely everything about it. Haani is such a beautiful soul, so welcoming and accommodating, she truly made our stay extra special.
