Holiday rentals with breakfast in Balaclava

Marco was a great host. A perfect house for a large group.

If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

Absolutely loved our stay at Ramona’s with a large family group on the weekend of our wedding. So easy to get to, beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful two homes with so much space. We loved our stay and even walked down to our wedding at the Post Office Hotel from the house. Thanks for an amazing stay. Couldn’t recommend more!

Jennifer’s place was perfect for our week in Melbourne. Close to the park, shops and other amenities (including the tram). We enjoyed our stay and appreciated that Jennifer went the extra mile in providing a porta cot and high chair so we didn’t have to bring these from home. Highly recommended.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Not only was the house immaculate, comfortable and well located, but the host was so incredibly helpful when we had questions. We had a small issue with the fridge icing up, which is standard and could have been left to us, but imran not only came around to fix it but brought us an extra bar fridge to make sure we had cold items not spoil. Easy check in, has everything you need, would stay here again and again. Thanks for a wonderful week!

We really enjoyed our short stay for a few days out of Melbourne. Lovely location just walking distance from a pub that had delicious meals. Was perfect for the wind down we needed. Excellent quality bedding making it very comfortable stay. The breakfast goods and freshly baked bread was a nice touch and greatly appreciated. The owners were very responsive and considerate. Highly recommended.

The house has everything we needed. Plenty of room to spread out. The supplied amenities were a welcome suprise. Fruit bowl, milk, cereal and condiments were available to us. We would definately book again.

Beautiful home and property. Loved the breakfast basket provided. We enjoyed having a few kangaroos hanging around the home. I would have liked an area to sit outside and enjoy the view. The outdoor seating area is hidden at the back of the house. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Well located one bedroom apartment with outdoor terrace area. Nicely decorated with an arts theme. Louise left breakfast items for us which was very helpful. Easy to walk into the city and to restaurants in Carlton and shops and cafes in Fitzroy.

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 fabulous stay in a great location. We loved the homely, clean well appointed accomodation. The little extra touches and attention to detail made for a 5 star stay.

Jim’s is a lovely place to spend a few days. Great location, comfortable bed and well equipped. Loved the rain head shower and the outlook over the rooftops. Very light and clean with a great vibe. I will definitely be staying again. Thanks Jim!

This studio apartment helps you enjoy St Kilda as if you had your own beautiful studio. So quick to the tram line, lovely neighbourhood, being Melbourne - tons of restaurants, bars and little local nooks. Kristina was so helpful and considerate of the guests, being responsive and proactive in getting the studio ready. If you are in St Kilda to enjoy the nature; such a short walk to St Kilda Botanic Gardens, walks along the pier or to enjoy the architecture; able to explore some of the beautiful homes and old theatres/buildings etc in streets as you explore. The destination was lovely, the building is private as you escape the hustle and bustle of the CBD. Kristina had some great recommendations (both on the app and physically in person, helping figure out transport to main attractions e.g MCG). Cannot recommend this place enough, our short stay was not long enough but made it so much better.

Excellent location, perfect for the trains, trams and local amenities. Beautifully appointed apartment, well equipped, comfy bed, great shower and lovely balcony. Our third visit !. Thank you Anne , we hope to be here again next year !

We arrived early in the day and where in contact with a lovely lady Jan who let us in and showed us everything. There were supplies milk etc already there for use which was great. Great location, just down the road from amenities, restaurants, supermarket, cafes etc. Tram right along the main street for easy transportation into the CBD. Thoroughly enjoyed our time in Northcote!!!! Thanks Jessica, Christine & Jan

Michelle thoroughly deserves her 5 star rating. The apartment is beautifully appointed with lovely furnishings and great attention to detail. The balcony was awesome - lovely to relax on amongst the trees. Location was excellent- easy to walk everywhere and close to public transport, restaurants and gardens. Can’t recommend highly enough

Always love staying here when we’re in the area. Can’t recommend enough post as amazing at their houses incredible.

Honestly, the best air BnB I have ever stayed in my life, beautiful location, beautiful birds all around the place, beautiful spa, house was unreal. You won’t regret staying here!!!!

A lovely room… wish I could have stayed longer.

such an incredible stay - even better than the pictures! beautiful peaceful location. Isy is an incredible host.

Kumari & Paul are fabulous hosts who look after us really well. The accommodation in their home is spotless, spacious, comfortable, cosy and colourful. You can walk to the beautiful beach at Half Moon Bay and the Black Rock restaurants and cafes. So many reasons to stay and why we return here!

Paul and Jo’s place was beautiful, it had such a peaceful, homely feel to it. The decor was gorgeous! The breakfast supplies were ample and lovely and it was so nice to have a toasted Hot Cross Bun for supper both nights. Wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the home more as we were out all day until late at night. Thanks for telling us about the kangaroos, we saw heaps but we were prepared by Jo and driving slowly :-) The sunrises were lovely (and bright) and the night view was amazing too!

I had an incredible stay at Darren’s Airbnb, thanks to the amazing hospitality of Barry and Parinya. Darren ensured all my requirements were met in advance, making the booking process seamless. Barry and Parinya went above and beyond to make me feel at home. Barry took exceptional care in getting me accustomed to the house, explaining all details about the space and kitchen. He was always available to help and even drove me around the city, helping me set up essentials and explore. What truly stood out was Barry’s generosity—he even took me for house inspections to help me find a long-term stay. When my Airbnb stay ended, he accommodated me in his attic room until my apartment was ready, which was a huge help. Barry and Parinya’s kindness, hospitality, and warmth made my stay unforgettable. I’m grateful for the bond we built and look forward to staying in touch. Highly recommend this Airbnb for a welcoming and homely experience!
