Cottage vacation rentals in Melbourne

Above and beyond. Great place, beautiful surroundings (some spectacular garden surprises nearby) and welcoming extra’s- thanks for the fresh bread and groceries!!! The family did not want to leave. Till next time…

Beautiful cottage, carefully maintained, can see the host has put lots of love into the property to make it special. Exactly how it was described and matched our expectations. Peaceful surroundings and cosy set up. Great weekend getaway, would stay again!

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Great location, peaceful vibes, and the host was amazing — friendly, helpful, and responsive. Would 100% stay again!

Nice and clean place with a huge decking balcony overlooking mountain view, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Highly Recommended!

We had a great stay! Everything was so thoughtfully supplied, we loved the little details that the hosts left in the cottage for us. It made our stay very special and we felt very welcome.

The Observatory Cottages at the top of Mt Dandenong has been the place to stay in the ranges for years, and with good reason! We last visited Ironbark cottage 20 years ago and we loved it this time as we did two decades ago. It’s extremely cosy and private and you can easily spend a whole weekend at the cottage without leaving! The spa and gas log fire place are highlights, adding to the warm and cozy vibe. Penny leaves great provisions for a cooked breakfast for two mornings and there’s a kitchen if you feel like staying in. She has great communication and is very responsive if you need her for anything. A beautiful choice for a weekend of R&R. Highly recommended.

An amazingly spacious house with great views of the ranges and a great spa bath. Mindy was super responsive when we needed a smoke alarm to be fixed and had it repaired the same day. Really appreciated that and enjoyed our getaway with easy drive to surrounding towns.

The cottage is surrounded by lots of nature and greenery. it was very relaxing the time we enjoyed there. The information and description was exactly as per described. Seamless experience during all our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay at Pigeon Bark farm in the cottage. The place was cosy and specious with comfy beds and couch, spotlessly clean with old world charm. The kitchen had all we needed and was well stocked, the coffee and breakfast provisions and snacks were good. It was completely calm and peaceful but lovely to see the animals around, especially the beautiful friendly peacocks who can be hand fed. Jacqui was an excellent host and living nearby was an excellent help with anything we needed and quickly responded to our needs. She even went the second mile by offering us drop off and pick up from our very close wedding venue. A lovely friendly person.

Our stay at the cottage was perfect. Andrew was very accomodating and friendly. The place made us feel very at home. The courtyard was perfect for our dog and was very private and quiet. 10/10 recommend

It was a wonderful place to spend the night with family. More than ample space to host a lovely family dinner and board games afterwards. The fireplace made it all the more cosy.

I have stayed at Thackeray many times. it's the perfect location on the beach.. great bike rides... easy to park... close to everything and Alyce is continually upgrading equipment in her home so everything works! highly recommended. a unique place with beautiful character.

Location is amazing so close to public transport if needed. So close to the South Melbourne market and Main Streets of South Melbourne. If you want to get a taste of what it’s like to live like a local in Melbourne this is the perfect place. A very place to stay and a wonderful host who had everything you would need! Will swap a hotel stay for work next time and will stay here! And to round out your experience pups are welcome! Thanks Jo and team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great place, we all would choose this place again for family get together. There is enough space for both adults and children. The garden was so peaceful with kookaburras visiting us every time we went into the garden.

Matilda’s Cottage was a perfect little spot that catered two nights before our wedding and our wedding night. While we are local, I highly reccomend utilising this cosy quiet accommodation. You are not far from gisborne vineyards and town centre and a short drive up the freeway into the Macedon ranges. Take a short drive continuing up benson rd you’ll grab a nice view of the valley. Thanks for having us!

My family stayed here for 4 nights & it was a lovely home! the beds were the BEST we have had in an Airbnb! Jo communicated so well & check in & out went smoothly. We had everything we needed to cook & enjoy the space. We were so close to the city but no noice & the heating was so good & increased the cosiness of the cottage. Will definitely be returning! thank you Jo

craig and Donna are wonderful hosts, made us feel at home, could not be more helpful. Beautiful location and accommodation close to everything but felt wonderfully remote. George their Labrador was fabulous and super friendly and obedient. we are world travelers and this was the best bnb we have ever stayed in. Awesome 2 weeks. Definitely booking again.

We stayed over the Easter Weekend and had a wonderful peaceful time. Ian was quick to respond to my questions and his instructions regarding check-in were clear. The cottage was beautiful and cozy and everything we needed. His local guide for Emerald was fantastic and highly recommend to anyone visiting Emerald.

Such a cute little place. Very thoughtful with their complimentary home made sourdough bread, fresh local butter, jam & milk. Was the perfect icing on the cake for us! Fireplace, wine & cheese platter nestled away in a peaceful quite are. No kitchen but we saw they had a sandwich press so we had beautiful toasties with their sourdough for dinner, amazing! Their bakery at the back was amazing, best croissant we have tried, get there first thing tho! Oh also, the knitted face clothes with a bar of soap was really cute too ! Thank you both 😊

I had the most wonderful stay! Everything was amazing… the accommodation was stunning and communication was perfect. Will very happily stay again!

Diana was an incredibly understanding and easy host even with some last minute changes. The cottage is lovely and perfect for any couple.

Great little guest house tucked away in a nice quiet street. Can definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Sulochi’s place. It was clean, peaceful and private, and our hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. The home had everything we needed for the perfect getaway

Love staying here. Hosts are friendly welcoming and Not intrusive. So easy to get around with the Train and Tram around the corner. Great Bars and Restaurants and Shopping! Very cosy and comfortable, with everything you need.
