Home in Carlton

Me and my friends stayed here for a concert in the city. The place was a beautiful home away from home and felt very cozy. It’s an incredibly short walk away from a tram stop to the cbd and there are some lovely cafes in the area to sit and have a coffee.
Home in Olinda
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 288 reviewsBillabong Falls
Staying at Billabong was wonderful; it’s truly a dream house. We stayed for three nights and spent a lot of time relaxing on the deck, reading, and talking. Our two boys had fun finding tadpoles in the pool. The outdoor hot shower was awesome, and the house was very clean. It’s definitely a great place to stay!

Thanks Mel, we had a lovely stay and the unit was perfect for our needs! We especially appreciate you allowing us to bring our puppy along - she enjoyed sniffing around the garden, and the nearby dog park was super convenient. Thanks again, from Lee, Jules and Jet!

Lovely place to stay. Unreal views and friendly, responsive host.
Home in Panton Hill
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 325 reviewsDandaloo Luxury Escape short drive to Yarra Valley
We stayed 2 nights at Eric’s place with a toddler and a baby and we felt right at home. The house is even better in person, the photos don’t do justice on how beautiful the property is. A lot of extras are provided in the home that you don’t see in your average air bnb. The complimentary breakfast with homemade bread dropped at our door in the morning just speaks volumes to the kind of hosts they are. We will 100% be back.

Rental unit in St Kilda
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 109 reviewsA Heritage Beach Side Beauty - St. Kilda.
Very hospitable host. Lovely and thoughtful welcome food basket. Key entry obstacle was easily sorted out by a phone call. Excellent communication. We arrived on a very chilly day and were grateful for the easy to use gas fire. We should have explored more and sooner to find the laundry - found on the last day when taking out the rubbish. All in all - a great experience. Tks Catherine
Rental unit in Melbourne
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 217 reviewsModern 1-BR CBD Apt + Gym + Pool
✔️Location Convenient for Tram Ride It's a great location for a free trip to the✔️ city ✔️A place to stay with a top-notch Airbnb ✔️The place was so clean There are all the✔️ cooking utensils, so it's good to eat at home (there is a grocery store right in front of you until 11pm + 10 minutes on foot from the Korean Mart) The ✔️window is large, so the beauty of the city view (it's a little cold in winter because the window is big, but it warms up when the heater is turned on) It was 19 minutes by tram from✔️ most Korean guided tours ✔️The luggage storage at Southern Cross Station (Big Train Station) is right in front (sincerely 1 minute) ✔️Swimming pool, gym, sauna on the 2nd floor I really recommend it so much. The host is also quick to contact and friendly. Don't pay expensive money at the hotel and come here. It's not a paid post. I was genuinely satisfied, so I used the verse. If you're thinking about it, go here.

I really enjoyed the time I had at Debbie’s place :) not only was it amazing but Debbie was so kind and supportive though it all, I think that’s what made the stay feel so special. It was lovely in terms of location and refreshing to have a host who loves what they do here and genuinely want what’s best for the people who stay. I’m sure whoever wants to have a time off in a nice place this would be perfect

Rental unit in East Melbourne
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsRomantic East Melbourne Apartment with city views
This is a really nice apartment, very cozy and clean. Loved the location because it’s walking distance from cool Fitzroy but at the same time situated in a peaceful neighbourhood. Really loved how quiet it was at night. Sean is very communicative and responsive which is convenient if you have any questions. If I’m ever back in Melbourne I’d stay here again.
