Family-friendly vacation rentals in Goulburn River

We had a great time in Melbourne. The apartment was well located and we were able to walk to all of the places and events that we wanted to see and do. There were restaurants and supermarkets nearby and the Yarra River and Southbank Entertainment Precinct were only two blocks away. The apartment was situated within walking distance of the free tram network.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Fiona & Lar’s Merlewood. Our accommodation was spotless, & very cosy. The roomy cottage was surrounded by beautiful peaceful Australian countryside. Bed was incredibly comfortable and large. Nights were spent cooking a meal, followed by a spa one night, and movie. Mornings were enjoyed taking in the beautiful sun filled view from every room after opening the blinds. Followed by a walk up the back hill, a sit on the deck, a sight seeing by car to Alexandra for lunch at the large cafe there, and enjoyed hiring a kayak at Jerusalem Creek to paddle around Eildon weir. Another day we drove to Yarck and purchased some essential oiled natural skin products at DINDI. There was also Op shop visits in Alexandra & Yea where we found a couple of bargains. This is the perfect place for a couple to unwind, & take in the scenery & tranquility, and use as a base to explore the region. Thanks Fiona & Lars making this lovely stay possible.

This was our third time staying here and there’s a reason we keep coming back! It’s gorgeous and so peaceful - would definitely recommend.

Donna's place was grrat. a lovley little cottage kept very well for its age and it wasfantastic for our faily. it was clean and tidy, all rooms were decorated the same and very neat the back yard was secure and it was within walking distance to the shops and restaurants about 5 mins walk from town! we would definitely stay here again when we return to Echuca! highly recommend this beautiful little cottage!

The house was really cozy and we had plenty of of room for everyone. The property was beautiful great for a break from the city to connect with nature. The host was great and they accomodated for changes on the amount of people. Overall great experience

Gingers on the Hills is more than just a beautiful getaway. It’s a heartfelt home away fr home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this wasn’t just another holiday rental. Every space is filled with warmth & personal touches that reflect the owner's care & love. The cozy ambiance, breathtaking views, and unmatched hospitality made it the most memorable Airbnb our family ever stayed in. The attention to detail was truly exceptional. Everything we could possibly need & more, was thoughtfully provided, plush linens, organic teas, beautifully curated home decor and nostalgic touches like the vinyl and CD player with a perfect music selection. The generous welcome pack went above and beyond expectations, we felt like we were visiting a dear friend rather than staying at a rental. Kylie & team are incredibly kind & attentive, ensuring that every guest, adult or child, feels cared for. Their thoughtfulness made our stay deeply meaningful. We left with full hearts & will surely return.

We had such a great time staying at Lauretta’s Airbnb! The area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing getaway. There were so many amazing sites and scenic hikes nearby, which made exploring the area even more enjoyable. Lauretta was super responsive and helpful anytime we had a question or needed something. Her place had such a unique charm, from the decor to the overall vibe—it really added to the experience and made it feel special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful, cozy spot with character and access to nature. Thanks again, Lauretta!

Lynn's place was amazing! The property was beautiful and well-kept, and it had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Lynn was a friendly and welcoming host who made us feel right at home. One of the highlights for us was the farm animals—our kid absolutely loved them! It was such a joy to see him so excited. Lynn also kindly let me charge my EV, which was incredibly helpful and much appreciated. Highly recommend staying here—would definitely come back

I loved Jo’s place. It was exactly as advertised, spotless and comfortable. I had a fire each night that kept the place perfectly warm and cosy. The bed was comfortable and the linen sheets so lovely. I will definitely book here again in the future.

Loved our stay at Kate's home....beautiful well appointed cottage & we couldn't have been more comfortable. Close to the CBD & a gorgeous stroll to the lake! We hope to be back again as Bendigo was beautiful & our stay made so enjoyable with this accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Jacky for the delicious cake and the fresh produce for our breakfast. The place is beautiful. We loved having a wonder seeing the horses and beautiful birds around. We had a very comfortable stay. Thank you so much for having us.

Such a lovely, relaxing place to spend a weekend catching up with friends! The house was beautiful with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds.

Judith and Paul’s cottage was perfect for our stay in Healesville with our 15 month old son. The property was clean, tidy and had lots of amenities that were important to us as a young family, such as outlet covers, children’s toys, books and tableware. The back deck and gardens were stunning and provided a perfect spot to unwind. In terms of location the cottage is a short 6 minute drive to the Healesville sanctuary, and a short drive into town where there are lots of shops, cafes and parks. We can see why this property would be ideal if you have a dog! We will be recommending the property to our friends who like to travel with their pets.

This was our second stay at Charmaine’s place and it lived up to our expectations once again. Walking distance into town and to the river. The house and outdoor areas are very clean and tidy and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had a great time, thanks

Enjoyed our stay in Richmond. Erika & Chris’s place is a spacious, modern apartment down a quiet alleyway. Has all the amenities needed, and is within walkable distance to both West Richmond and North Richmond train stations, as well as nearby bus & tram stops.

This was our second stay at Hortencia. It is a beautiful and peaceful property, brilliantly located near Trentham and a lovely drive to Daylesford. Our two border collies adore holidaying on this property. They have freedom to roam and they love exploring the beautiful garden. The fencing is dog safe, so we can relax while they have the opportunity to live a more natural life for a few days. All the basics are provided in the kitchen. The lovely big fire place in the lounge is very relaxing - and the hosts are very generous with wood. A great place to unwind.

The location, the building and the apartment are all perfect. Host was excellent- had an issue with the air-con and he immediately brought people over to fix it. Will definitely stay here every time we visit Melbourne. Thank you Ethan!

Great stay! This was a beautiful space to get ready before a wedding in the valley. Not only was there ample space for our group, there were many interesting places to take photos and enjoy each others company. Stacey was extremely responsive to all of our messages, and the stay was seamless. They also gave us a great local coffee recommendation.

The house is clean and tidy with thoughtful coffee and tea from the host.It was a great experience.

Great location, tram stop right outside the door & a good cafe downstairs. Plenty of places to eat nearby in Collins Square during the week. Easy walk to Southern Cross station or bridges over to MCEC. Michael was a great host, good communication & flexible with check-in.

The photos of this place don't do it justice. It's really lovely and decorated so tastefully. The check in instructions were clear and easy, and our hosts were lovely and kind. An easy walk to the general store and pub, breakfast out on the deck, excellent and easy to use technology, and a really peaceful and lovely stay. Thank you for having us!

Great location, 300m from tram, 500m from train station. Clean, quiet, super comfy bed, toiletries were a nice touch which made the place feel more luxurious, outstanding communication - best I’ve ever had with an airbnb host. Great place to stay as a solo traveller or a couple.

Alex's place was the perfect place for a large group of friends escaping the city. Alex was a great host and super helpful and easy to communicate with. The house was perfect for our group with plenty of beds and space for everyone. Well stocked kitchen which you don't always get with some places but Alex's had more than enough of everything you'd need for cooking a feast for loved ones. Oh and the pool and deck/bbq were very enjoyable too. Would definitely stay here again!

Shelley and Simon’s place was beautiful! We enjoyed our stay and it was perfectly close by to the wedding that was in the area. It’s very private, close distance to the Main Street and lake - the house was very clean and well looked after. Would recommend this stay to all!
