Elyse- Spacious Home in the Heart of Melbourne
It’s a really nice place, very well maintained. Everything was super clean and taken care of. Alix and Taj were always kind and helpful. Highly recommend

St Kilda Beach, Art Deco apartment.
Anne was extremely helpful and friendly. She made us feel right at home especially after a long flight from the UK. She met us at the apartment and showing us round the property and giving us great tips on the surrounding area. Anne was always very responsive during our stay and was a great help in ensuring my son found longer term accommodation for his new job in Melbourne. The apartment was nicely located for trams into the CBD and a 5 minute walk to the beach!!! I cannot thank Anne enough not only allowing us to use her property but for all the advice and help. Would definitely stay again.

Luxurious Penthouse with Balcony and City Views
A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

Inner city oasis with views + free parking
Tikali was very accommodating. Flexible with our needs with our pet. The unit was fantastic in a great spot with a scrumptious cafe underneath.

Wisteria Cottage - directly opposite beach
We had a great stay at Simon’s. It catered for the whole family with kids and dogs. Great location directly opposite the beach, undercover bbq area and kids playground. Big fenced backyard for the dogs and play equipment to entertain the kids. There’s a studio detached from the house which was perfect for a guest with sensory sensitives when peace and quiet was needed. Highly recommended.

A Windmill Barn
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!

Sunny, Modern Apartment with Cityscape Views
Our stay was excellent. The location was fantastic, the apartment was cosy and had everything we needed plus more.

Fabulous Freshwater
This is a wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed the convenience of the location for all the things we like to do in Melbourne, theatre, footy, South Melbourne Market, free Chadstone bus, MMWC, Casino and the Belgian Beer Cafe. The room was spacious, comfortable and secure, well maintained and clean. It was a real haven after a day clocking up thousands of steps around town, especially the shower which we both loved. Communication with Colin was easy and he always responded promptly. He met us and showed us to the room despite our arrival after midnight. He even took the trouble to mail back an item we left in the room. Our six night stay was over all to soon and we’d certainly love to come back

Gresilda’s place was perfect for our ten day stay. It had everything required and more!! Thank you so much for hosting us and your generosity Gresilda.

Bricks Yarraville - Pet Friendly Fenced Courtyards
Bricks was a perfect home away from home for our family whilst visiting Melbourne. Myki cards were at the house for us to use for public transport access which was fantastic. A short walk to food outlets, supermarkets and the train station. Karena and Rob were great at communicating and checked up on us after our arrival to ensure we had settled in. Highly recommend! Thanks K&R for a great stay!

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.

Blue Sea Retreat genuinely pet friendly house
Jane’s Blue House was a pleasure to stay at. Comfortable beds and good shower! I hope to be back next time with my 4 legged friends as I had to leave them behind for this trip.

The Fitzroy House
Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Lovely renovated Victorian terrace. 3 bed, 2 bath.
We felt instantly at home at Alison’s house. It was styled so beautiful and everything was neat, tidy and functional. My mum, Dad, partner & daughter all stay for my birthday/Easter long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier. We visited the local wine bar, cafes, local restaurants etc. It was also wonderful to be able to bring our little dog along for the stay too. It meant a lot to me he was able to join us for my birthday. Beds were all super comfortable, and we all commented on how well we slept. It was so lovely sitting out in the garden in the mornings having a coffees together and spending quality, memorable time together. I highly recommend this house if you want to spend some relaxing quality time with those you love, or just be in a home with great energy.

Tanglewood Cottage Wonga Park
We had a great stay at Tanglewood, we were visiting family on the area. Lovely place well kitted out very peaceful and tranquil and a good size. Roslyn is lovely and a great host. We would definitely recommend and return

Trendy Warehouse in Melbourne laneway, walk to MCG

Newly renovated apartment in the heart of the city
The location is incredibly convenient with great transport links, and the place itself has everything you could need! The bathroom is spacious and bright. It even comes fully equipped-fridge, washing machine, gas stove, all kinds of cookware and utensils. The room's layout is both cozy and practical!At night, you can even fall asleep under the moonlight (I loved the view!). Such an awesome experience!

Modern 1 BDM app on 31st floor Southbank +parking
Nice and close to lots of restaurants, woolworths and bars. Walkable to the city also. Very clean and tidy place with modern fitout and great amenities. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area. Would happily stay again.

Port Melbourne Perfect 2 Bed
What a beautiful Airbnb! It had absolutely everything we needed plus extra. Mark and Jo are second to none with communication and the information that was useful for our stay. Great location, so close to the beach, restaurants and shopping! Gym and pool plus a car park was excellent! It really had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy and the unit was styled beautifully. Lots of light coming in, a beautiful, peaceful space, was really relaxing after heavy days of studying. Op shops nearby were A-mazing! I found 3, yep 3 quirky paintings from the very cool op shops nearby and DFO South Wharf was fantastic, and close. We loved our stay and will come back again. Can’t thank you enough Mark and Jo :)

Rivergarden 3 bedroom Apartment
My three generational family spent a week in Julie's place for the F1 weekend. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The bedrooms were all spacious with loads of storage, the beds extremely comfortable, sheets crisp and white. A porta cot for my 4-month-old grandson was provided. The bathrooms were very clean and had all the amenities you could need, towels white and fluffy. The kitchen had absolutely everything you needed and then some. Even milk in the fridge. A spacious dining table that sat 8 plus a highchair for my 2-year-old granddaughter. The lounge area had more than enough room for the adults as well as a plentiful supply of toys for the grandies. The location was perfect, right in front of a tram stop and a few minutes' walk away from the Crown Casino and Southbank bars and restaurants. The hostess Julie was brilliant, replied to texts immediately and even accommodated our late check out at the last minute. I absolutely would go back again. The pool is great too.

Cool living close to everything (incl wifi / pool)
Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

Modern 1BD in the Heart of Richmond w/ Pool & Gym!
Perfect location and great apartment, you will want for nothing.

Immaculate Flat Embracing Views-Pool,Gym&Parking
We stayed for five nights, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is in a great location, walkable to the city, art gallery, convention centre, Southbank, parks, and trams. Nice views overlooking Southbank, Casino, and the city, from the living area as well as the bedrooms (one bedroom faces East, the other bedroom has more floor to ceiling windows and faces North and East). The thick windows/balcony door helped to minimise city noise (although you can still hear a little bit, which is to be expected when you are in a busy city). Air conditioning was quick to cool down the apartment. There is also a fan (and heater) in the bedrooms, which we didn’t use. Shower water pressure was sufficient. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were available for use Security in the building was great. Fob key to enter the building, and again for the elevator. Lobby area and elevators were always clean. Check in and check out was very easy with clear, detailed instructions (with photos)

Holiday Retreat Southbank Apartment with Carpark
Nice clean apartment. About 20-25 minutes walk from town. Nice coffee shop and restaurant downstairs. Bed was a bit on the firm side but worked out fine for us. Shower, toilet and sink separated by clear glass walls. Clean place.
