Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southern Tablelands

Tracey’s place was absolutely stunning!! Exactly as described in the listing and photos - above and beyond what we expected. A peaceful location with a serene outlook and only a short walk to the beach. Tracey was incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating at all time - I would happily stay there again!!!

Jos's place is South Durras was the perfect location for a belated Christmas holiday with my in-laws. The home is large, and very well appointed with a full kitchen, multiple bathrooms, garage with bikes, etc. It was exactly what we needed! The daily kangaroo visits were an added bonus!

The apartment feels like home, and I like the rice cooker so much! The kitchen provides everything we need to cook basic home meals, and the laundry room is also great (having a washing machine, dryer, and even detergent). The view from the bedroom is lovely. We got additional sheets and pillowcases for our bed. I feel grateful to stay at the apartment. Harry is also very helpful and explains everything clearly.

The property was beautiful both inside and out, offering stunning views that made our stay incredibly relaxing. My family and I had a great time getting away from the city hustle and bustle. The hot tub was a highlight, especially for the kids, and we all enjoyed sighting the local wildlife. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We will be back again!

We had a lovely time staying at Peters place. The house is the perfect location to explore the local area and an easy walk into town. The house was clean, inviting and the spa was relaxing after a day exploring.

As usual, Harry's apartments never disappoint. Neat, clean and well equipped. This apartment is well situated with Canberra Centre only a few minutes away. Check in and out is always a breeze. Would definitely recommend.

Nice, tidy place in a very convenient location. I had a few issues with check-in due to the actions (and inaction) of previous guests the night before, which of course is no reflection on the host - Alex immediately responded to my messages and resolved the problem for me in short order. Overall very comfortable, would happily recommend this place for a short stay in Belconnen.

Doug’s was very helpful and friendly. He had the personal touches in the unit that made you feel welcomed, like breakfast, milk, juice and condiments. It made the late arrival with little kids so much easier. Beds were comfy and the unit had everything we need for our family. Was a great unit to stay at.

Stefan’s house is a fantastic property and he is a fantastic host. Love the old beach vibes decor, close to the beach, the backyard is a perfect spot for relaxing with kids. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Chris provided tips and recommendations as soon as we booked. He was a great host, thank you Donna

I booked this place for my family who came from Melbourne to Canberra for Easter. We were all very pleased with Todds property. It was very clean, had all the recquired amenities to make you feel right at home. Todd made the experience better with how flexible he was with earlier check-in , and late check out. Todd was also very responsive to text messages through air bnb app and phone messaging. Overall, this place is great value for money and i would defineatly recommend this modern cosy space to anyone wanting to crash while they are away and want to feel like they are still at home.

This is my 3rd visit to Cockatoo House. We keep coming back as it has all that we need to look after the show dogs, and attend the Royal Show. Great bathroom, all kitchen amenities Off street parking for several cars. Plenty of space outdoor, undercover. Several living areas inside too.

This is the second time we have stayed there when visiting Canberra. The house is fantastic and well set up for families. It is well placed to travel into Canberra for activities. I love the little things that are provided such as breakfast items and some milk giving us a chance to settle in before needing to think about shopping. Highly recommend and look forward to staying there again for our next family trip to Canberra.

Absolutely loved our time here! Perfect for a weekend gateway! Phil was a great host…was super responsive, accomodating and very helpful. Will definitely visit his place again!

It was lovely to stay on Margot’s farm, we also got to feed the sheep which was an absolute bonus! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a private stay close to everyone to explore in the Southern Highlands.

Again! Absolutely amazing! I love everything about this cabin — it was cozy, peaceful, and had everything I needed for the perfect getaway. The atmosphere was so relaxing, and the attention to detail really made it feel special. I can’t wait to be back again!

Jane was a wonderful host. The property was described. It was very clean, spacious, modern, very accessible, convenient and everything worked. Jane was very responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with. We'd love to be back if she'll have us.

Louie’s apartment was spotless. Everything you would need was available. It is well located in Kingston area not far from Manuka oval and a very easy walk to all Kingston has to offer. Louie was a responsive host and quickly responded to any questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location, perfect for travelling to work each day.

excellent place. peacefully. you feel you don't need the internet. My kids loved the llamas and the night sky. if we are going to snowy mountains region definitely book Dave &. Diane's place for a stop over.

Overall, this place offers an unforgettable experience for those who love nature, tranquility, and a true farm-style retreat. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a fun family adventure, or a trekking experience, this spot has something special to offer. The warm hospitality of Ms. Dianne, the stunning surroundings, and the charming animals make it a unique and refreshing escape from city life. A small adjustment with the limited shower and toilet is worth the peaceful and picturesque setting you'll enjoy. Would definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and immersive nature stay! 🌿🏕️✨

Nice cabin on the beautiful farm. We loved the space and animals around. Thanks a lot for making it a pleasant stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Arabella Guest House- it felt like our home away from home! Both hosts were welcoming, friendly, and generous. We receieved fresh tomatoes from the garden regularly, free of charge and the kids loved playing with Leo, the dog. The grounds of the property were stunning and peaceful. Both hosts were extremely responsive to any requests or questions we had during our stay. I would highly recommend staying at the Arabella Guest House.

For the business traveler or anyone seeking a comfortable stay, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Hugh’s apartment. The space is well-designed, functional, and equipped with quality cooking utensils, and practical linen, making it easy to settle in. The building offers excellent facilities—I made full use of the steam room, sauna, spa, and pool, which were perfect for unwinding after a long day. The gym is also available for those looking to stay active. The location is fantastic, with a short walk to a major shopping complex and only 4-5 minutes to the lake, making it great for both convenience and leisure. What sets this stay apart are the thoughtful extras. The supplied laundry facilities were a welcome convenience, and small appliances like the toaster and coffee maker added a homely touch that isn’t always found in Airbnbs. Hugh was a fantastic host, communicative and helpful throughout. I highly recommend this apartment and would happily stay again. Thanks, Hugh! Enjoy, Gavin
