Beautiful big home in South Melbourne
Chris was very helpful and even offered to help out with transportation options ie gave our party his Ute to use for road trips as he felt sorry for us given the f1 was cancelled. The home was tidy and comfortable and is in an amazing spot for the F1. We hope to come back next year ! (COVID-19 free)

Mako House - Spacious & great for families!
Sheryl as a host was very responsive and accommodating. She accepted our early check in request very promptly.. The house is in a very good condition with all the required amenities... Thanks for making our stay/trip a memorable one.

Spacious large family house and garden
We loved this house!!! Lauren has done a beautiful job of furnishing and decorating this old 70s house. From the front, the street appeal isn't great but that doesn't matter at all once you enter. It's VERY spacious, stylish, comfortable and homely. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, Lauren even provides multiple towels for each guest which is so lovely when having a longer stay! It's the small, thoughtful touches like this that can make a huge difference.. There are books and games for both kids and adults alike. Lauren is so helpful and friendly, and was always quick to respond. Despite being an older house, we can't fault our stay, we absolutely loved it and would happily return. Thank you so much Lauren!!

Waterside Place - Upscale River Precinct
Beautiful house it was so easy to find and felt just like home, beds felt amazing and comfortable. The house was super clean and was perfect for staying, would definitely stay longer. Especially the shopping centre being only a 5 min drives was perfect for shopping.

Stylish & Spacious 4-BR Townhouse_ Full facilities
Stayed here for 3 nights and felt very homey and comfortable. Lyn was very responsive and responded fast. Would recommend to stay :)

Luxurious Property Centrally Located!
Matt was an amazing host. We cannot thank Matt enough for an amazing stay. We had to relocate from home due to insurance needing to complete repairs and we felt so comfortable and right at home at Matt’s place. There was a slight issue upon checking in but Matt was at the house within 10 minutes to rectify it. Cannot recommend the home enough, clean, spacious, centrally located in a quiet street. Everything was 10/10. Thanks Matt!

Marcus is a great host, very responsive and gave clear instructions re check-in. This is a comfortable place in St Kilda.

Spectacular views & stylish deco
Absolutely outstanding location with a stunning view and perfectly situated for both public transport and out of city travel. Super responsive and pleasant host. Will definitely come back in the future.

Next to Albert Park Lake
Sally was a great host before I even checked in. She was very accommodating in moving my reservation and flexible with an early check-in. She was extremely responsive, and communication was perfect. Her apartment is located close by public trams which will get you either to the CBD or St. Kilda within minutes. Albert Park lake is literally a block away. Thank you very much for your apartment Sally. It was a pleasure staying with you.

Boutique Minimalist Warehouse Studio
Super friendly and responsive hosts, and the place was perfect for what I needed! It was great having somewhere to park my car that was safe, secure and easily accessible, which is important when you’re a car guy. Would definitely stay again when I’m in Melbourne.

Unrivaled Waterfront w/ Heated Pool/Spa/Gym
Place is very good and exactly what the description says I would recommend staying there!

Amazing Waterfront 1BR Dockland Apt w Balcony/Pool
Great apartment, next to free tram so easy to get in to the city. Very clean and good amenities. I appreciated the nice touches of tea and coffee after a long flight.

Classic 2 Bedroom with Wonderful Views on Collins
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melbourne Lifestyle Apartments. Very clean and nicely laid out apartment with great views. Little extras like the complimentary early luggage storage, red wine and Tim Tam chocolate biscuits were very much appreciated. The tramline right on the doorstep made commuting into the central city and Melbourne Park for the Australian Open tennis very easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back!

Ryans Ranch Retreat
Our two visits 'bookended' a two week holiday in Tasmania, via Ferry rides with car. We very much appreciated being able to visit and stay at Christines accommodation.

Lovingly restored Yarra Valley Settler's Cottage
My partner and I stayed here for the weekend for some wine tasting and a hot air balloon ride. The cabin was really nice and felt so authentic. The atmosphere and environment was beautiful - the surrounding farm lands really added to the authenticity of the cabin experience as well as the well-kept antique furniture. The whole cabin reminded me of my late great aunt’s home back in South Carolina — pure nostalgia for me. The kitchen was super functional, the hot tub was great, the heated floors in the bathroom was an excellent touch, the single air-con was incredibly efficient in keeping the entire cabin cool in the summer heat but I would recommend bringing a personal fan just in case. Overall a fantastic experience, looking forward to staying again

Lavender Cottage
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cozy, welcoming cottage with a beautiful timber finish inside that gave it a warm, homely feel. The garden was full of colour and charm, and the fresh muffins and fully stocked fridge were such thoughtful touches. The hosts were lovely and very responsive — we felt well looked after from start to finish.

Historic Soho Estate, Resort Facilities- Bellarine
Kate and Evan have a BEAUTIFUL property. They were extremely helpful and friendly upon checking in. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful, peaceful and felt very warm and homey. We enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the animals and gardens. Most importantly the stay was dog friendly for our two golden retrievers. Their friendly Labrador Cesar was a great host and greeted us, showed us around the property and kept the Goldie’s good company. Highly recommend a stay at SoHo Estate!

Central Comfort・Historic Quality・Curated Style
Great deal and communication as well as super clean home!

Phar Lap Tree Cottage-Winter Getaway inc breakfast
We spent 6 nights at Phar Lap Tree Cottage and found it to be a relaxing, private , quiet and cosy place to stay. Kevin is a very thoughtful and caring host and welcomed us with chocolate Easter bunnies and a nice bottle of wine. There were also generous breakfast provisions. The queen size bed is probably the most comfortable one we've experienced on our airbnb stays. Looking out over the lovely garden, listening to the birds and watching the sunsets from the verandah was a special highlight. The cottage is in a great position for easy driving access to the Bellarine Peninsula and Great Ocean Road. We plan to stay at Phar Lap Tree Cottage again.
