Yarra Valley Gateway Stay
Gorgeous location with breathtaking views. The house is very homely and Kristie was a great host. Hope to revisit in the future.

Ttekceba Retreat B/B
We enjoyed a quiet two night stay at Veronika’s unique house. The highlight was the main bedroom with the bath tub and open views to an amazing moss garden. The house had everything you would need and breakfast was also provided. The pool and outdoor area was beautiful and well kept but unfortunately the weather was a little too cold for us to jump in this time. Veronika was contactable and answered any questions during our stay but was very respectful of our privacy.

Beachside Vibes 2 min stroll to Parkdale Beach
Amazing stay. Managed to book it on the day of check in due to unforeseen circumstances and they were very accommodating. Everything you could need and more. It was very relaxing and had everything within walking distance. Couldn’t recommend staying here more. Everything was very clean and beds were very comfy. Thanks for the best stay. Nothing to fault.

Lovely 2 bedroom solar powered villa with parking
Susie's place is really comfortable with lovely beds, well-appointed kitchen, and a relaxed vibe. Great for inner Melbourne area - walkable and lots of public transport options, but also has a car space if needed. A recommended place to stay.

Elwood Beach Apartment with Private Courtyard
Jack is a world-class host, super responsive and caring of his guests. The place got 2 decent size bedrooms spacious living room and beautiful back yard. The place is really close to the beach ( 3 minute walk) and 5 minute walk to Elwood village (where you can find cafes, deli, health food shops and bars). The bus station is just around the corner, so very easy to get around with public transport (1 stop from Acland street) Everything we needed Jack was fast to provide and we will definitely come back on our next visit.

Tanglewood Cottage Wonga Park
We had a great stay at Tanglewood, we were visiting family on the area. Lovely place well kitted out very peaceful and tranquil and a good size. Roslyn is lovely and a great host. We would definitely recommend and return

The Views, wildlife, spa , cosy, campfire
Angelika was a fantastic host, and the place was perfect - as described and seen in the photos. Clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Would be happy to stay again

Self-contained Rural Apartment
place was great and had everything we needed at a reasonable price. The kids loved the farm animals and were kept entertained throughout our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place in the outskirts of Melbourne

Loved the house and the layout was different but great to hang around in.

Hampton Living - 2/3 Bedroom
We had our father in hospital from an unexpected road accident. We are from the country so Being with Tennis on in Melbourne we were struggling to find accommodation close to the Alfred. I got on to Air B n B and found John’s house. John was very quick to respond. It was only a short easy drive to the hospital and the house suited us well for the 3 days we spent in Hampton and visiting our father. John’s house felt very homely and is what we needed while visiting our father in hospital. Thanks John. Cheers

Venue, Party, Entertain, Stay
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a fantastic stay at your Airbnb for my 30th! The place was perfect, and we had an amazing time. My friends and I had the best time and will most definitely be back for a party hopefully very soon. Really appreciate your hospitality—everything was spot on. Thank you again Matt

Cosy convenient 2 bedrooms house close to shops
An absolutely wonderful stay. Location was perfect for our needs, host was very responsive. Home was lovely and felt very comfortable. Brilliant.

Rose's home - Place to stay
Lan's place was fantastic! It was clean, tidy, and located in a great area. It had all the necessary amenities to make our stay comfortable, even during a muggy Melbourne weekend.

Tropical Oasis with spa and Cinema room
Annick and JP made us feel very at home and welcomed. They were very accommodating to our individual needs & supportive of the fact i have a disability which required extra support. We needed long term housing & trying to find accommodation for that amount of time was extremely difficult and both Annick & JP came to our rescue & really saved us from being homeless whilst our house was being rebuilt. They were respectful of our privacy during our time there & made us feel like it was our home during our stay. The SPA is AMAAAAAAZING and worth coming to stay for it alone and my daughter and family also enjoyed the theatre room. We cant THANK BOTH ANNICK & JP for everything you have done for us.

Magnolia Cottage-Relaxing Abode W Tranquil Gardens
Cozy Airbnb bliss! Warm lighting, plush throws, and a calming palette made it instantly relaxing. Thoughtful touches everywhere, from a well-equiped kitchen to comfy bedding. Spotlessly clean, and perfect for unwinding. A true home away from home. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Winchester Terrace Moonee Ponds
Charlotte’s beautiful place was just the home away from home we needed for a trip back to Melbourne for a family wedding. Walking distance to Moonee Ponds station, Puckle street and numerous cute little back street cafes. Street parking was never an issue and the house had all the amenities we could have asked for travelling with a child- and then some. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

Builders own Large Hampton style home - Croydon
The house is lovely and very nicely done. Spotless, super quiet location and spacious. Set up was good for us and having the 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms was essential. Bathrooms are slick and modern. Location was convenient for visiting our relatives in the area but you are likely to need a car or use something like uber for shopping and eating out. We had a car but used uber as well and response times were very good. Would definitely look at staying again. A very enjoyable 5 day stay.

Heart of Fitzroy; 2 bedroom terrace #parking #wifi
The place is very conveniently located. Very easy to find and minutes drive away from great restaurants and grocery stores. There is a park right across the street. The bedrooms are street facing, but it is quiet at night. The amenities are complete and thoughtful. Great experience!

Heavenly Hamptons, Surrey Hills
amazing place we loved it James as a host with his wife were amazing easy to deal with pleasant friendly the property was immaculate it was like our home so we were very comfortable thank you for allowing us to stay xx

Lovely renovated holiday house
Well equipped kitchen, with most necessities provided. IGA super market, and local eats bunched together on Thames prom. The home has a beautiful garden at the front, close the gates.. fur buddy wonderland. Rear garden, under cover with small landscaped grass area, nice for coffee and a chat. Thanks Isy

Stunning contemporary residence, free parking
It was an absolute pleasure to be hosted by Melanie at her gorgeous home! We had a brilliant stay and loved the neighbourhood. It was close enough to walk into town and to local pubs, cafes etc. The home was immaculate and luxurious with lots of exotic touches. We really appreciated the extras that Melanie provided, i.e. quality bathroom products, and a well set up kitchen. Also Melanie owns an amazing restaurant, Grain Store in Flinders Lane, which we visited twice during our stay.. highly recommended! We loved our visit and will be back!

Central Home Playground 5 min to Beach/Shops/Cafes
We enjoyed every minute staying in this beautiful home. I felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. Would love to stay again the next time my family are all together in Melbourne. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to be close to the heart of everything Melbourne, yet be comfortable in a spacious, charming, warm, and very welcoming home. Sanaz is a great host and gave clear instructions, also checking in with us to make sure we were all OK, offering assistance and a late check out if we needed it. Thank you, Sanaz. I miss your beautiful Elster home already! 💚

Hills haven home away from home.
