Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southwest

Andrea is an excellent host and the accommodation was top-notch. Dogs were allowed and well-catered for, which was a deal-breaker for my father and his constant companion! Everything we needed was there, and it was lovely to relax in the sunny living room with a view of the river.

Absolutely stunning place and location! Nel and Lorne were amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. They had thought of all the little things to make us feel welcome and it truly felt like we were staying with friends…like a home away from home. We arrived to the smell of fresh bread baking, and found a loaf baking in the bread oven. Nel had even left us a jar of her homemade raspberry jam, which was to die for! We fell asleep every night to the sound of the waves which was absolutely magical and so peaceful. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! Would 100% recommend and would love to come back sometime!

Fantastic host, beautiful property, highly recommend 😊

We had a great stay at 43 Degrees! Location was perfect and the scenery was unmatched, well worth the price. Would absolutely recommend.

My first visit to Hobart, and I’m glad I chose Brian’s accommodation. Besides being in a great location, easy to get anywhere, the place is amazing clean with a lot of facilities giving you the comfort of a home. Brian is a great host, very flexible and accommodating and tries everything he can to make your stay an amazing one! Looking forward to visiting again.

Beautiful equipped home which is just what I needed travelling with kids. Stairs were steep which didn't worry mine but maybe worth being mindful of for small children. So close to town, everything in walking distance and a great selection of food options very close. Never had a problem getting parking near the house for our car. Hosts reached out a few times to ask needs and preferences before we arrived and even let us know the place was ready earlier in the day than check in. Great experience.

We have the pleasure staying at this beautiful home in Hobart and I couldn’t be more impressed. The host Tom and Cate were very responsive and communicated with me before my arrival and also during my stay. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The house is spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything we need. The bedroom slippers were very thoughtful. Thank you for the generous refreshment, and beverages. The hosts were incredibly friendly and making sure we enjoyed our stay. The location is ideal, close to many restaurants, and attractions. It was the perfect base for exploring Hobart and nearby attractions like Salamaca market which open only on Saturday and Mount Wellington. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were super comfortable, and the living areas felt warm and inviting—truly a home away from home. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Hobart. I’m already looking forward to coming back!

Beautiful old world cottage in centre of historic Richmond near cafes & easy walking tours. Modernised bathroom, everything sparkling clean. Thoughtful host supplied breakfast. A peaceful garden to relax in, highly recommended.

There were three generations staying in this lovely cottage. Everybody had a spacious room. The cottage was very well equipped with spare pillows, blankets, kitchen appliances (incl microwave) and extra condiments, coffee of all kinds etc. I walked every morning in the area, very peaceful and lots of flowers in the gardens. Great park just 2 blocks away. 10 min walk to the main street with shops and cafes. 10 min by car to CBD and really EASY drive via HWY... It is a central location for travelling further out of Hobart. There was a collection of books and enormous collection of DVDs. We had a great time and I would stay there again.

Our stay with Maggie & Gary was such an excellent find! We greatly appreciated their hospitality, welcoming attitude, advice on sights in Tasmania, and delicious home made spreads. Such a wonderful experience for us in a beautiful environment.

A fantastic dog friendly place to stay! Ris was very communicative and friendly. Check in easy. the house was quiet, cosy. and comfortable. Excellent location, 10 mins from the city, 5 mins from shopping centre, lots of restaurants and cafes and only a 2 min drive/5 minute walk to an amazing dog park if you have your pup with you. All in all a great stay. Thank you!

If I could have given Mandala 10 stars I would have. The house is beautifully located and the surrounds are natural and peaceful. There is a walking track right across the street that is gorgeous. Wina’s house is charming spacious and warm- it encourages the gathering of loved ones, the creation of beautiful food, conversations,laughter and love. We loved the games shed and the grass with benches for our Finska competitions. The kids loved the playhouse. Every single one of us had a wonderful time and loved the house. Thanks Wina!

Lovely spot to stay within easy walking distance of everything in Hobart.

We enjoyed the house and area for an extended family trip. Lots of room and activities at the house. Kids loved the painting spot, and the short walk to fish off the jetty. Some nice foreshore walks, with a well formed track to Verona Sands. Thanks

We had a really comfortable stay! Kerrie and Kelly were great hosts, with lots of local recommendations and everything provided that we could possibly need. The location across the street from the grocery store and a short walk down to the harbour was ideal. The whole visit was lovely from start to finish!

Can highly recommend! Honni is a fantastic host and the beach house really has everything you need. The view (both directions) is just incredible. It was clean, tidy and well presented. The weather was cold and raining at times but the fire was lovely and cosy. An amazing place to stay!

Thanks a lot for your warmth and friendly welcome. We will come back again. Absolutely loved the experience.

We stayed for 3 nights and it was great. The location next to the river was beautiful. The cottage contained everything we could wish for and was very comfortable.

The stay was exactly what we wanted, cosy apartment for two with a bedroom each. The kitchen was everything we needed and extremely functional. The passcode entry was perfect as we didn’t need to worry about forgetting keys or making sure someone was always there when the other was out. Jodi and Lindsay were extremely responsive and conversations always felt personal as they were invested in why we travelled to Tasmania.

Jodi's apartment is at the best location, vrry close to a great cafe, grocery stores, bus stop and moonah shops. Best thing is private car parking which is hard to find with other air bnb places. You can view beautiful mount Wellington from the bedrooms, and living room gets cozy by sunshine during the day. Jodi was kind enough to give us quick tour of the house on checking-in, and also let us stay an extra hour before checking out. Thank you Jodi for letting us stay at your lovely place.

Fantastic place to stay. pool is great. having a complimentary car is the best seats 8! perfect for my large family.
