Vacation rentals with lake access in Australasia

We had the most wonderful stay at Nigel and Denise’s place. The views were absolutely breathtaking – waking up to the ever-changing water and skies was pure magic. The house was thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the cozy living areas, and the luxurious bathrooms with spectacular views. Everything was exactly as described – or even better! Thank you for creating such a peaceful and beautiful retreat. It was the perfect base for our Tasmanian adventure. We would absolutely love to return someday!

Great location and great fireplace and pit, close to Beechworth, an interesting bathroom design a little chilly bit i admired the architecture and if you like minimalist space this is great ], great host help us oldies with the oven an accommodating on the firewood, true representation in the pictures, a beautiful weekend

We had an amazing weekend getaway at this pretty house! The property was peaceful, clean, and just as described, with breathtaking views of the river. We spent our time fishing, kayaking, and even got to drive the boat provided, which was such a unique and unforgettable experience. It really made the trip feel special and adventurous. The host was responsive and made everything from check-in to check-out super easy. A perfect spot to relax, explore, and enjoy nature—highly recommended!

Excellent stay at Ben’s lovely home. Quiet, comfortable and had everything we could have needed and more! Hot tub was fantastic and the fire pit at night was perfect. Would highly recommend staying here and listening to the ocean waves

This place is a hidden gem. It’s great for a retreat from the hustling and bustling life, and transport you back into nature. It’s very secluded, but it is meant to be the way it is. A Stonehill retreat. If you are looking for something that is near town, this is not for you. But if you are looking for a tranquil, peaceful place, I would recommend it 200%! Jacqui was also extremely helpful in her travel directions, and took extra effort to provide us with some oil when we ran out. Thanks much!

We had a fantastic stay at Tim and Caitlin’s. The deck area is huge, with the view looking out to the fields just magical in the afternoon. Plenty of room inside, with a big table and couches and a kitchen with all necessary cooking equipment. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks so much for hosting us.

Modern house with a very nice outlook. Highly recommend this house.

We had a very relaxing and peaceful time at Deviot Boathouse. The property is well equipped with luxurious facilities, and the surrounding views are absolutely stunning. Thank you for the great stay!

A great place to stay. Charles was so responsive and always willing to provide information and help when required. We will definitely be back!

Excellent cabin, had everything we needed. Hosts were very responsive to all of my questions. Nice and cozy and warm with the air conditioning , extra blankets and having a fire pit under the starlight was very heartwarming. Great location, 8mins to the centre of Jindy. The lake is also walkable from your cabin which was quite picturesque.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lakefront@Tyrolean. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully furnished with all the modern amenities for a comfortable and relaxing break. Its location was perfect—just a short walk to the lake and an excellent base for scenic drives to Thredbo, Perisher, and Charlotte Pass.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The resort facilities were a huge hit with the kids, they couldn't get enough of the kayaking and the play areas. The apartment itself was perfect; it had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. The kids particularly loved the loft sleeping area, it added a special touch of excitement to their stay. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and hassle-free getaway!

Very nice stay & Arlene great host who leaves you to it after local recommendations. Would definitely stay again.

A beautiful, clean, spacious apartment that was well equipped, central and homely. My partner and I had a lovely time and wish we could have stayed longer!

Kerri and Alan were great hosts. Place was tidy and clean and as described. Easy to find and they dealt with our late check in very well! Thanks and look forward to coming back again! Patrick

Sarah’s place is a good find. Conveniently located near downtown Melbourne. She was very responsive. Incredible views of downtown Melbourne from her place. You have to pick up the key from a local grocery store (which worked fine) and there is only one key, but overall the stay was great. Excellent swimming pool and gym. Recommend staying here! Good value!

We loved staying at the Muddy. We stayed for two nights during a cold spell. The fire was lit for our arrival and we were warm and cosy. Cathie and Michael were friendly and welcoming. The Muddy is private, very quiet, beautifully furnished and has a peaceful outlook - yet it's only three minutes' drive to town. We enjoyed a day hike in the Cathedral ranges. This is a gem of a home - we highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking for somewhere close to Melbourne (just over two hours) in peaceful countryside.

The place was beautiful! clean, modern, cosy. It had everything we needed - fireplace, fridge/freezer, kitchen and utensils, washer and dryer, heater in the bedroom, electric blankets, hairdryer, shampoo/conditioner/bodywash. Everything. So conveniently located in Katoomba close to all the shops/restaurants. We will stay again definitely!

Loved every minute of our stay. Such a beautiful setting. Thank you for the amazing complimentary breakfast. It was delicious. The bikes were a lot of fun to ride around the village

Howard was a wonderful host. The house was immaculate even came in to awesome music playing when we first arrived, the scenery was breathtaking and the overall experience was something you don’t get often in the city. My partner and I will definitely be back!

Great stay, no complications and beautiful views. The place is lovely and separated enough from the house that it feels like its own little home. Aaron made the check in and check out super easy and was very accommodating with any of our needs - but thanks to the ease of the stay we didn’t need to reach out at all! Lola, their puppy, was also a lovely morning surprise when she would greet us at the door. 100% would recommend to anyone!

Derwent River Cottage is everything you see on the listing. Absolutely beautiful home with the most amazing view over the Derwent river, the mountains and the lights of Hobart. Very comfortable with a beautiful fireplace and everything you could ask for. Hosting Hobart were amazing and very prompt at responding to all of our queries, even bringing us extra coffee pods and tea bags when we arrived. They communicated with us very well with a fast response time, were extremely polite and accommodating. We had the best time in Hobart and staying at Derwent Cottage was definitely one of the highlights. We would highly recommend this accommodation and Hosting Hobart and we look forward to staying there again in the future. Thank you so much Hosting Hobart and all your staff, we are truly grateful.

Paul is an excellent host — Always responsive and helpful, offering tips on what to do in the area and checking if we had everything we needed. I feel like I have no words to describe the place; it is simply perfect. I was looking for a nice place to take my mom, and I was amazed when we arrived. The house has everything you need, the fireplace is great and makes it very cozy. The bedrooms include heaters and the beds have electric blankets. The kitchen has everything you need and the garden is just wow. I would definitely visit again. Thank you again, Paul, for the wonderful time you gave us :)

We were so sad to leave Amy and Joseph’s place. It is in a truly magical location, and it was so special to wake up to the view of the ocean and local wildlife. A very warm and inviting home with lots of special touches, especially if you’re traveling with small humans. Highly recommend.
