Vacation rentals with a fireplace in South Melbourne

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.

Our 2 month stay was really great experience. Sharon is very responsible and has a lot of good advice on places to visit. The house is clean and the garden is lovely. It's fully equipped, which makes life much easier. The only inconvenient is the noise of the traffic in front of the house, especially in the front bedroom, as we were not used to city environments.

Fantastic month long stay at this brilliant property in St Kilda. The house was so spacious and Kerri was such a welcoming host, cannot recommend this enough. Will hopefully be back again next year to stay in the same location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Mister Montague. The property itself is beautifully renovated, and has been furnished and equipped to a high standard. We were especially impressed by the kitchen, which has pretty much everything you could possibly need, making it very much a home away from home. Kim herself was a great host - responsive to questions and very thoughtful and generous about accommodating the needs of our young family. The location is very convenient for South Melbourne Market and just a short tram ride away from Melbourne’s main attractions. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Saeed's property was as described. Inside the house, there was ample space to relax and unwind. The house was clean and tidy and the BBQ was prepped and ready for use. The pool area was also clean and easy to access. The internal central heating worked really quickly when the night became cold. The house was set up with a swing, hammock, fooseball table as well as a few other games. Saeed was a helpful and responsive host, willing to accommodate us. I would mention that it is one large house on the property, separating guests from Saeed's family by an internal locked door (so noise could be heard from the other side of the door). The pool can also be seen from the entire house, so if you wanted privacy, this is probably not the accommodation for you.

We really enjoyed staying here, great location for us, easy walk to the bus stop, 15min stroll to the Central West shopping centre and easy access to the Melbourne bike path network. Carly’s place was comfortable and very quiet at night. Carly was terrific to deal with and I would def stay here again.

This is the second time staying at this property and I absolutely love it. Michelle's property it always spotless and the surroundings are beautiful. Thank you Michelle for always accommodating.

Thank you Anna for sharing your interesting, fabulous, , iconic home. It was very large and comfortable with extensive crockery, cutlery and glassware, bed linen and towels. Exceptionally well equipped. We loved living in the 70’s and the beautiful outdoor area and pool was a bonus. My UK visiting cousins and I had a very relaxed and enjoyable time together in this lovely home and the area is great for the beach and the many Sandy cafes and restaurants, and of course the station.

Great location, easy walking distance to everything. Living space was good size for us as a couple with a toddler, might have been stretched to comfortably fit another couple. Helen and Eric were very quick to respond to messages sent which made for a relaxing time away. Would definitely stay again when visiting Melbourne.

We enjoyed our stay. Great location and very comfortable apartment. Chris provided very clear directions and instructions for checking in and out.

Gorgeous old building with plenty of character in the perfect location for the international garden show! Karen’s studio has a great view of Carlton Gardens, is beautiful, restful with lovely breezes, and sooo many restaurants nearby (only a 5 minute stroll to Lygon street). A lovely cosy place to come home to. We had a wonderful visit, thank you!

A cosy apartment that is well appointed and comfortable inside. Conveniently located close to Burke Road, Camberwell train station and all the shopping in Camberwell Junction.

What a wonderful experience with a truly thoughtful host. Michelle has created a wonderful home away from home with all the right ‘feels’ and a touch of luxury, she made us feel like valued guests and we were extremely happy with the location and personality within the home .

Staying at Catherine & Rod’s was a special must do experience. Their place is so beautiful with lovely interior homely design that’s very close to the beach and all the treasures of St Kilda. We wanted to stay longer to enjoy all the offerings so will definitely be back.

Very happy with this host and can’t thank you enough for the last min booking. Would definitely stay again

The apartment is well located with many restaurants and amenities very nearby. There is a Coles supermarket within walking distance. The smaller room in the apartment has not windows that open to the outside but a glass window panel looking into the living room. The apartment is bright, neat and clean. However, you have get the keys from a convenience store about 5 minutes walk from the apartment. Not a big issue just have to find a place to temporary park your car to collect the keys, which can be a little challenging in the middle of Melbourne city. Getting to the building carpark and then to the building is a little confusing but Peter provide good instructions. However, we still find ourselves lost getting out of the carpark because there is no clear signages. Overall we have an nice stay and an enjoyable time in Melbourne.

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

Amazing secluded location, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished house. Lovely quality things, well stocked for basics and firewood.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Avila. The house is very spacious and comfortably accommodated our large group. It had everything we needed to have a relaxing short break. The location is literally a short walk of 5 minutes to the beach. Summer was very easy to deal with and the instructions regarding the premises were clearly outlined in the house manual.

Had an amazing getaway with my partner! We had a wonderful time. The whole place was immaculate, everything was clean and spacious. The jet spa was just the perfect touch and the pool table kept us entertained. Steve and Ka are awesome hosts, highly recommended.

What a change of scenery for a family holiday.. and less than an hour outside of Melbourne CBD! We enjoyed waking up to the sunrise over the tree line from the master bedroom window, and the kids loved exploring the gardens almost as much as our pup. The outdoor space here might be the hidden gem of a stay, as we found spot after spot for memorable family photos. While there were some minor hiccups during our stay, the hosts Deepika and Ravi were far more than accommodating and absolutely wonderful people to communicate with. They really went the extra mile (km?) to ensure we had a lovely visit.. which we most certainly did.

Couldn't be more positive about Ria's property. Not cheap but great value with a premium property well suited to our large family short stay - or any other medium group requirement. Pet friendly was a huge bonus. Property has multiple hang outs suitable for full group and the bespoke roof top area was a great bonus (and cigar spot!). Couple of minor issues that Ria sorted pronto! We'll be back.

We booked blackwood for our wedding anniversary. I was looking for a lux 2 night escape that felt dreamy and romantic and this is exactly what we got! The king size bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was able to be made dark allowing us to have long sleep ins (which is something we never get!) the thoughtful touch of the cheese board came in very hand while taking a soak in the spa! The accomodation was situated right in the heart of sassafras which is home to lovely little cafes and specialty stores (although the town is very sleepy until 10am) If you are going to this area we recommend the bakery ‘Proserpina’! Amazing pastries 🥐 and ‘The pig and whistle’ was a great pub night out. Thank you for such lovely accommodation we had a very memorable weekend x
