Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk

WilliamRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Excellent accommodation, great location right outside a free tram to city centre. We used the swimming pool several times which was fantastic. Shu was a very helpful host, ensuring we had a cot and high chair before we arrived.

Beachside Port Melbourne

TaniaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The apartment and location suited our needs very well as we wanted something spacious for us all to spread out and chill but also something close to the things we wanted to do without the noise and business of the city. Nearby Tram into the city was very handy. The apartment was lovely and we felt really comfortable. Barbara was a such a lovely host, we arrived very late and she made sure we had some supplies ready for the next morning for the kids which was a godsend! We used the pool on hot days and it really felt like home. Highly recommend!

Great modern and comfortable apartment with everything you need. In the heart of Portarlington so easy access to ferries, transport and right next door to the Grand Portarlington Hotel. Sound proof glass so very quiet.

Spacious 3 Bed Apt with Stunning River/City Views

Tee YongRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I enjoy the stay. The air cond is centralised so it was good for summer. The parking is good and well placed. I will stay again for my next trip. I highly recommend this place for family as the dining table is big for gathering of 5 to 10 people. Great work.

Modern 1 Bedroom Apartment in Docklands

AnnaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our stay. Host were super responsive and friendly assisting with changing our check in time when we needed to. It’s a great location, tram right outside or very easy walk to southern cross station. Apartment was spotlessly clean, bed linen and towels great and bed very comfy. Pool was also lovely with an amazing view. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Comfort by the bay - short walk to St Kilda! Free

AshleeRating, 5 stars2 months ago
John’s home was so lovely. He and his wife greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the home and provided us with incredible recommendations in the area. Perfect location that has easy access to the city on the tram, 2 minute walk to the beach, and a 10 minute walk to coffee shops and a lot of restaurants & bars. Highly recommend to anyone coming to Melbourne and would absolutely stay myself again! John provided incredible communication as well which is super helpful coming all the way from the States.

Waterfront 1BR Docklands Apt with FreeParking#2

FionaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place. As described in the listing and by the other reviews. It’s within the free tram zone, with the tram stop right outside the door so very easy to get around. Right near Southern Cross Station (only a few minutes on the tram) so easy coming and going from the airport using the Sky Bus. Docklands is in the city but quiet and chilled.

Bellarine Beach Shack

SashaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Amazing house, the kitchen is fully stocked with appliances which is not usual for an airbnb (air fryer, wine aerator etc). The front porch is so cozy, and the abundance of little sitting areas is great for a large group when you need time away from the masses. Beds are comfy as well!

Waterside Elegance Tranquil Villa | Free Parking

JoleneRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
It is difficult to find accommodation in the city that can host a family of five and has a garage, so when I found this property I was very grateful. From the moment I reached out to V she was responsive, helpful and went out of her way to provide support. I reached out to V and a host of another property at the same time and V was so much more responsive and accomodating. Overall, a very positive experience and I would recommend and stay in this property again.

Escape to Beachfront Bliss in Elwood!

AnneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The location cannot be beat. Seaside Views, walkable restaurants, shops, parks and entertainment. The home is clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. Floor-plan is worked well for us, office space, bed/bath and laundry on bottom floor. Kitchen, bathroom and family room with large TV on middle floor, and two bedrooms with attached bathrooms on top floor. Not ideal for young children as there are steep wooden stairs throughout. But we had no trouble with the layout. A/C got nice and cool, smart TV and wifi, dishwasher, washer & dryer plus strong water pressure made for a comfortable stay for us from the States. We stayed with our two children 11 and 14 and they loved watching all the dogs at the park across the street.

Such a perfect little apartment! It made us want to stay longer. So many beautiful little touches to the place that you just don’t find anywhere else. It was quiet, peaceful and easy to get around the city from where it is located. The host was friendly and made everything easier and even let us know when the room was ready so we could check in early! We will be back! Genuinely the nicest air bnb i’ve ever stayed in ❤️

We had a great stay over new years! The rooftop garden was a front row seat to the fireworks without the crowds. We felt right at home with all the amenities we needed for a weeks stay! The tram stop right outside made getting around very easy. Would absolutely stay again, thank you for hosting us ☺️

Modern 2BR Apartment Across Calm White Sandy Beach

EllyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My family and I had a beautiful stay over summer in Sid’s place in Seaford. The flat is 5 min walk to the beach - it’s lovely, light-filled, clean and spacious, with every amenity you could need. It’s at the back of the block so very quiet (no traffic noise, despite being on a main road) and surrounded by a garden and a creek. You can sit at the dining table, outside or lie on the couch and watch the birds and sunrise/sunset skies. The beds and pillows were particularly comfortable, and the kitchen, bathroom and laundry have the basics. While I did have an issue initially with the remote, it turned out to need a new battery - Sid was extremely helpful and prompt. A great stay - we’ll be back the next time we visit our family in SE Melbourne.

Romantic Beach Condo

SusanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved the apartment once we got in. We were cleared for early check in, but once we arrived , there was no access for 2 hours Also the combination inside the mailbox was difficult to operate for both checkin and check out . Other than that , we loved the apartment for location , comfort and access to beach , transportation and restaurants.
