Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Yarra River

A stay in Maple Cottage feels like a warm hug. What stood out most for us was the immediate ambience of coming home, on arrival. It was very easy to relax in the comfort of this clean, cosy space, situated in a quiet neighbourhood very conveniently located to amenities. Attention to detail in the décor and the interior design skills of whoever has decorated Maple cottage, have achieved a very good balance of function, simplicity and quality in this lovely home. Thank you Nancy for your quick responses and ease of communication. I would love to stay in Maple Cottage again.

Chris and Grant's place was such a lovely base for the weekend! From the start, communication was clear and detailed. It was very easy to check in and to start a beautiful warm fire on arrival. We loved adventuring to some of the local sites with our dogs and coming back to a cosy home each night. The wildlife around the property was incredible, and watching the birds while you eat breakfast was awesome. Definitely can recommend this place to others either as a couples retreat or for your family. Thanks Chris and Grant!

Richard always communicated promptly and was very easy to deal with. The house was perfect for a fun weekend away and the highlight was definately the spa on the balcony. A lovely touch to arrive with a chilled bottle of bubbles and the heater on for us, a very thoughtful host.

Fran was amazing and friendly. The right entertainment was provided for our kids. Also had perfect recommendations for the winery on the property. We had a great time during our stay.

Absolutely loved our stay at Olinda Woods Retreat! Emma was incredible throughout every stage with excellent communication and going above and beyond. She included lovely breakfast provisions (also catering to dietary requirements). Emma's dad popped by to welcome us and did an incredible job making the gardens look immaculate! We had some photos taken for an elopement style wedding and were absolutely thrilled with the accommodation and gardens! Can't wait to return, hopefully for our 1 year anniversary next May!

If you want an Australian bush experience with peace and tranquility then stay here. We were two couples and it was perfect, offering two great bathrooms and comfortable beds and pillows. Our hosts had thought of everything and there wasn't anything more required for a truly wonderful warm 4 nights. Such a treat to see the lyrebirds most days but sadly Wilson must have been sleeping.

We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Matt’s beautiful cottage near the Yarra Valley. Even though it was raining during our visit, the stunning views from the cottage more than made up for it — it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage was cosy, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — a clean bathroom, washer and dryer, Netflix, and even a Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. Sarah was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special highlight for my son was getting to meet their adorable family pony, Little Penny — such a sweet touch that made our stay even more memorable. We truly appreciated the tranquility of the surroundings and would highly recommend this lovely spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for the lovely stay!

We loved Gingers on the Hill. It feels like home and is full of thoughtful touches to make your trip away that little bit special. It's an elegant nod to the mid-century aesthetic and so comfortable and quiet. So great. Highly recommend.

Overall a nice place to stay. Peter was super responsive and he replace the shampoo immediately when I told him it ran out.

Perfect position and everything you need for a few nights away. Will be booking again

This place is a gem. Beautiful view of sun set and sun rise, with chance of seeing Hotair balloon right in front of you. Lots of things to do at home, cooking, washing and bbq-ing. Will love to stay here again if we visit Melbourne again.

Jo's place was beautiful, exactly as described and felt right at home. Check in was also easy. Jo was super responsive and communication was easy. Would book again!

Michelle's place is in a fantastic location, convenient to everything you'd want to do in the city. The apartment is clean, with everything we needed for our weekend getaway. Michelle is a super responsive host and we can't thank her enough for organising an early check in.

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 🙂

Catherine was very helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the booking, check in and check out process. The place was amazing and in such a great location in St Kilda. The added touch of putting the fire on for us on arrival, on a cold evening, was very thoughtful. We had a great time in St Kilda and Melbourne, using Catherine's place as a hub made it all the more special. I cannot forget to mention the great recommendations for cafes, bars and restaurants locally that are now on our 'must go back to' list.

This place is beautiful beyond words. Our host was so accommodating. The place was spotless. Loved loved our time here. Well worth checking out.

This place is beautiful. Furnished with pieces from all over the world, plenty of greenery inside and out. Veronika is very pleasant and helpful. A great little getaway inside Victoria

an amazing place, very well furnished. A perfect holiday place, ideal for a big group. kids will love the place too. has a clean pool n a play area. Enough of indoor games n books :-) for a peaceful read, sitting with birds in the balcony overlooking the town, the cloud clad hills. would love to visit in spring /summer again. thank you, Phil.

Beautiful location, easy to find, close to town but far enough out to be peaceful. So thoughtfully set up and absolutely more stunning than the pictures. Stayed with a group of friends and we had an absolute divine time. Enough space for everyone to hang out and plenty of everything we needed for a gorgeous weekend.

An exquisite property set in stunning scenery, immaculately clean, luxuriously furnished, extremely comfortable with thoughtful amenities and a personalized welcome, made this an unforgettable stay!! I highly recommend this property, it is without doubt the best airbnb we've ever stayed in and equivalent to 5* luxury accommodation. Our hosts, Talei & Phil, were friendly, welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Thank-you for an amazing stay!

The place is great, very clean and Steve is a great host. Steve is extremey responsive and considerate. The house is very close to nature and we really enjoyed the spa specially our son. The only thing that could be improvide is the kitchen and its preparedness to host guests who plan to cook for exemple having more utensilis.

Beautiful home and setting that is close to near by towns and attractions…will be coming back in the future 😊

We had a wonderful stay at Ria's place. The house is exactly like the photos, beautiful, luminous and well equiped. It has everything you need (even an office!). There were six of us (grandparents and 2 kids) and we had an amazing time. Ria was lovely to interact with and very responsive. We would love to come back! Thank you Ria!!

Beautifully appointed and thoughtfully decorated little spot in a fantastic location! It’s small, but much larger than the pictures suggest - never cramped, just cozy. The kitchen is more than appropriate for cooking, and the entertainment system is fantastic with solid speakers that are always appreciated. It’s incredibly close to the main Sassafras strip, which does lead to a small amount of traffic noise especially if you’re sitting outside, but the road is very quiet at night and the doors and windows isolate well so it never bothered us. Being able to walk to dinner and not have to drive home is well worth the trade off in my eyes! My partner and I also greatly appreciated the spa bathtub, and the fact that you can watch a movie while in it thanks to the thoughtfully planned layout. All in all, a great little spot that I would gladly return to.
