Cottage holiday rentals in Braeside

This is an absolute gem hidden amongst the trees of Cockatoo. A beautiful wood cottage nestled in the woods, so spacious, well appointed, airy, lots of light, great in any season. Quiet but at the appropriate time, you could watch and take great pictures of the famous Puffing Billy railway making its way past Felder Station which is just a short walk away. This is a great place to make as Headquarters for exploring the Dandenong and Yarra Valley regions. We spent three nights there and it was too soon. Kane and Brook are terrific hosts and made us feel at home with little kind touches, greeting us on arrival and made us feel right at home. This is a place not to be missed. Well done and thank you so much!

This property is beautifully serene, private and well equipped for a weekend to get away from it all. The host was stellar in ensuring that the time at the property was the best it could be. 5 stars.

We had a wonderful stay at the cozy cottage and our son loved the farm animals and surrounding gardens. The space was warm, comfortable and very clean. We loved collecting fresh eggs as fruits from the garden in the mornings, what a special treat!

A truly beautiful experience staying at the Wild Orchid Cottage. It is evident to see the love and thought Pia has put into the place. The cottage is in a perfect location and the surroundings are majestic. Pia could not have been more helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay, for that we are so grateful.

Very comfortable. Enjoyed watching tv from the four poster bed, and from the spa. Also loved sitting out back watching sheep grazing. And the breakfast provided was fresh and very generous.

lovely place for a little getaway. not too far from local strip shops on jetty road. spa was great! the place itself is very clean and peaceful. had a wonderful stay. will definitely 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!

Such a serene place, perfect place to stay especially if wanting a romantic get away with your partner. Beautiful wildlife especially having lyrebird spotting, sounds of the rainforest with the waterfall, a nice spa to get into when wanting to relax. There’s no wifi or struggle to gain data/reception the best bet is to bring either a hotspot box if wanting one or extra things like books, or other things to relax. They have a wonderful selection for breakfast but if lactose intolerant they don’t offer that but they do give gluten free little biscuits which is so kind as well! I am so grateful for this to be my first night away with my partner and will definitely be coming back.

We had such a fantastic stay. The house is so thoughtfully pieced together and Tricia was such an accomodating host. Heater on got arrival, bottle of wine from the winery next door and offered flexibility with checking in and out. Fantastic property and host!

What a beautiful cottage. The location and styling gave off such a relaxing environment which was the reason for our getaway. A gorgeous well-appointed property. We will definitely be booking again. Thank-you

A beautiful, relaxing and homely stay. The space was very cosy with the log fire for a wintry weekend away. Lovely extra touches with fresh farm eggs and homemade strawberry jam in the fridge for us. Thank you Madeleine for your great hospitality.

One of our favourite places to stay. Everything was perfect again.

We had a wonderful holiday at Chiara's place, very comfortable, lovely art throughout the house and an easy walk to everything

More than happy to return to Chris's cottage, we really enjoy this location and the cottage is cosy, private and peaceful. we particularly like the additional parking space too, it helps if you have a trailer on as we did for this visit. Chris warmed up the house for our arrival along with lights and snacks. we'll be back (our home away from home)

lovely cottage, garden was great for our dog. Lots to do and enjoy in the surrounding area. Highly recommend a stay.

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.

A gorgeous place in a divine location. Every little detail taken care of and very warm and cozy. We will be back. Thank you for having us.

Our stay at the cottage was perfect. Andrew was very accomodating and friendly. The place made us feel very at home. The courtyard was perfect for our dog and was very private and quiet. 10/10 recommend

Had a wonderful week at Willow Gum Cottage. A great central spot on Mornington Peninsular. Also a great spot to stay away from the hustle and bustle but within a close drive to everything. The cottage was cosy and homely beautiful and clean and had everything you could want and more. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Greg and Jane were fabulous hosts. We were left a lovely note and snacks on our arrival and of course there was the Alpacas Zeus and Rocketman to welcome us each day.

Dimitra’s place is a dream. We feel very fortunate that we could escape and spend a couple of days at her cottage in an ideal location. Very handy to not have to use a car. Beautiful space, extremely comfortable bed and amazing bath. Thanks for the extra touches of wine and chocolates on arrival. We loved our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Sulochi’s place. It was clean, peaceful and private, and our hosts were extremely helpful and responsive. The home had everything we needed for the perfect getaway

second time staying at Julie's place and we'll be sure to be back if we're in Melbourne. comfy beds, large rooms, has everything you need in a good location

Such a lovely little cottage! Spotlessly clean and well appointed, we loved the deck and being able to feed the birds. We would absolutely stay again.

Naomi was a wonderful host! The Forest cottage was in a serene location and was a great place to unwind for the weekend. It was a short drive to some beautiful towns in the Dandenong and the sound of the kookaburras and the bubbling creek was a lovely soundscape to kick off our relaxing stay!
