2 bedroom, self contained & Private apartment

MarkRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved our stay at Katri's place. The unit is in a fantastic location close to cafes, the river and walks in the state park. Katri made us feel very welcome, including some very helpful provisions on our arrival. The unit was very comfy and we all loved sitting outside on the patio, enjoying the weather and listening to all the king parrots.

Private self contained studio

AhramRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our family came from New Zealand because our son was participating in the DownUnder World Series tournament held in Melbourne. My husband came from Korea. While looking for a place near the stadium, we booked this home, stayed 1 week—and wow, it was the best decision! It's only a 5-minute drive to the stadium, which was perfect since we had to drop our child off early in the morning for warm-ups. The house had everything a family of four needed to cook breakfast and dinner comfortably. The upstairs bedrooms were amazing. Every night, we watched Korean professional baseball from upstairs and eventually fell asleep in our own cozy beds. The bathroom was also spotless and very clean. If we come to Melbourne again, we’ll definitely stay here. Thank you, Gus!

Hampton Living - 2/3 Bedroom

TroyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We had our father in hospital from an unexpected road accident. We are from the country so Being with Tennis on in Melbourne we were struggling to find accommodation close to the Alfred. I got on to Air B n B and found John’s house. John was very quick to respond. It was only a short easy drive to the hospital and the house suited us well for the 3 days we spent in Hampton and visiting our father. John’s house felt very homely and is what we needed while visiting our father in hospital. Thanks John. Cheers

Had my daughters 21st here. The best place to have a party without worring about noise restrictions. We had music blasting outside and karaoke going on inside till 5am. This place is such a vibe. Everyone asking about it and complimenting the place. Matt was very helpful and welcoming. He gave us a thorough walk thorough with everything we needed to know and answered all our questions. Definitely recommend for your next event! You will not regret it 💯🔥

Tropical Oasis with spa and Cinema room

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Annick and JP made us feel very at home and welcomed. They were very accommodating to our individual needs & supportive of the fact i have a disability which required extra support. We needed long term housing & trying to find accommodation for that amount of time was extremely difficult and both Annick & JP came to our rescue & really saved us from being homeless whilst our house was being rebuilt. They were respectful of our privacy during our time there & made us feel like it was our home during our stay. The SPA is AMAAAAAAZING and worth coming to stay for it alone and my daughter and family also enjoyed the theatre room. We cant THANK BOTH ANNICK & JP for everything you have done for us.

Austin Powers 1970's Retro Pad - South Yarra

BernadetteRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay! The location is great—close to shops, food options, grocery stores, and public transport (trams and the station). There’s also a fantastic dog park and playground just around the corner, which was perfect for our pups and toddler. The place has a cool, relaxed vibe with a modern-retro feel, and it was really well set up. Super clean, well-kept, and had everything we needed—from kitchen appliances to laundry facilities. You could easily stay longer and feel right at home. Having on-site parking was a huge plus, especially over the Easter long weekend. And being dog-friendly sealed the deal for us. Boris was a great host—easy to contact, proactive with messaging and reminders, and made everything really smooth. Great value for money—would absolutely book again!

DebbieRating, 5 stars4 months ago
If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

Retro + Home Garden 3 Min Walk to Tram F/E Kitchen

AurélieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our 2 month stay was really great experience. Sharon is very responsible and has a lot of good advice on places to visit. The house is clean and the garden is lovely. It's fully equipped, which makes life much easier. The only inconvenient is the noise of the traffic in front of the house, especially in the front bedroom, as we were not used to city environments.

Art house by the bay

AnnieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Andrew’s place was perfect for our stay. We were across the road from the sporting tournament we had travelled for. There were excellent coffee shops, cafes & supermarkets all within a short 5 minute drive. The house was very unique with its decorations, furniture & artwork. The entire house was spotlessly clean & had everything we needed. The shower & bath were both wonderful & the beds were very comfortable.

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!

Architectural designed 3brm house located near CBD

HinakoRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was our first trip to Melbourne, and we stayed at this property. The house was exactly as shown in the photos—very spacious and clean. The host kindly prepared some light snacks for us, and we also enjoyed coffee and other beverages. Although we didn’t cook this time, the kitchen was fully equipped, and I believe we wouldn’t have any trouble living here. The host was very kind in our messages, and everyone in our group really loved this house. We’d love to stay here again if we have the chance. If you’re visiting Melbourne, I highly recommend this home!
