Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bonnie Doon

We enjoyed a lovely long weekend by the lake. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and in a great location with a gorgeous view over the water. The kitchen was really well-appointed with plenty of everything we needed to make a meal. The beds were comfy and the shower had great water pressure! It rained most of our stay but we kept warm and dry with the lovely fire and watched DVDs - there were loads to choose from. When the rain cleared it was an easy drive into Mansfield and the hosts left great recommendations for coffee, shopping and meals. We also went for some lakeside walks and tried our hands at fishing - all right out the front of the cottage. Our host was so responsive and friendly offering great recommendations and advice and made check-in and check-out a breeze. Loved our stay. Highly recommend.

Excellent location, a five-minute walk into town and all the great coffee shops and restaurants. Electric blankets on the bed and the heated bathroom floor were very welcome additions to a very comfortable home. Fiona was a great host, very welcoming and friendly in her communications with us.

Lovely stay, great location close to town, the twilight market and the pondage.

By far the best place I've stayed with my family.... EVER ! The view is incredible, the house is stunning, it has everything you possibly need and more !! Being able to launch my boat from the waterfront was amazing and the spa at night under the stars was incredible. The open outdoor fire place was put to good use and we ate outside every night, as the outdoor setting is like Tuscany :) This is oficially my favourite ever AIRBNB. Huge thanks Tania, for sharing this place.

We had the most amazing time at this Airbnb, everything was exactly as described and even better in person. The place was spotless, beautifully styled, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Would 100% recommend to anyone and would love to stay again. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Pops place was lovely for a family getaway. With a wonderful decking and massive backyard there was plenty of room for everyone. The home itself had such a nice homey feel and was decorated so well, with so many different places to rest & relax.

We loved our stay! It was so peaceful and a great location. Leith was very communicative and the property had everything we needed. The kids loved the space they had to run around, the sunsets and night sky were incredible.

The house was just as described & just what we were looking for. The pool table provided lots of entertainment for the adults & the views were fantastic. The beds were comfortable & no one in our group had any complaints. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Amazing stay. Thank you, Lynda & Andrew for proactively communicating and making sure we have our best time. I want to appreciate them, as they found my apple iWatch and offered postage facility. Thank you once again, we will see you in June 2026.

We really enjoyed our stay at Melinda’s Airbnb. It was in a great location, easy to find and access, the fire was alight when we arrived and the space was very warm and welcoming. We really enjoyed the decor and found the space clean and tidy. We had a slight mishap with the shower which has a narrow entry. We would recommend bringing your own pillows (we unfortunately forgot ours). The yard is great for leashed toilet walks for dogs. We were mindful that we could hear people on the other side of the adjoining door which is just something to note but wasn’t particularly intrusive. Overall, would recommend and we would stay again. Melinda was a great host.

Had a wonderful stay at Geoffrey’s place! It was cozy, comfortable and peaceful! Geoffrey was a great host too, providing us with lots of information prior to our arrival and even welcomed us when we reached to give us a little tour of the place. Definitely one of the best host ever!

Very comfortable base for our cycling trips on the Great Victorian Rail trail. Good location, very walkable distance to shopping strip (and eating places etc.). Bath came in handy for post-ride aches! Lots of TVs, though you need to download Netflix etc. onto your own devices. Fridge is a little loud (cycles on and off), though the place itself is very quiet with only soft bird-song. Lots of heating in house (we didn't use the split-system cooler, as the weather wasn't hot at all when we were there).

We had a fantastic time at Cathy’s place. An incredibly peaceful experience with the most amazing views of surrounding Yarra Valley wineries. We will certainly be back!

Really nice place, incredibly comfortable bed and great range of pillows for people like me finicky about pillows. As we were there in the dead of winter, a very effective heater was also a pleasure to get back to. Veronica’s home-made muesli was a great treat too and it was a pleasure meeting her. Definitely would stay again.

Great peaceful place in the forest, the ride to the place was bumpy but other than that everything was fine

The property was beautiful! Very peaceful getaway and lots to do in the towns around the area. The house was really clean, and the bath was a great addition 🙂
