St Kilda/Elwood water views - Woy Woy Two
We had a lovely stay at Donna's space. It was clean, cozy and comfortable and we felt right at home. Everything that we could have needed for our stay was there, and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. Donna was great at providing us with clear information about check-in and check-out as well. Would definitely stay here again!

Albert Park Bayside 3 Bedroom Close to Everything
Quaint little home in a great location, close to good cafes, restaurants, the beach and a comfortable walk to Albert Park. Andrew was very responsive and easy to communicate with at every stage. We all enjoyed our stay, thank you :)

Spacious art deco apartment in premium position
Loved our stay here. Very roomy with everything we needed. Anne was friendly and helpful. The seat at the front window with views across the park and bay towards the city was our favourite spot.

Thackeray cottage
I have stayed at Thackeray many times. it's the perfect location on the beach.. great bike rides... easy to park... close to everything and Alyce is continually upgrading equipment in her home so everything works! highly recommended. a unique place with beautiful character.

Little Venice townhome. North facing & bay views.
Wonderful! Normally hate scorching heat and summer but staying here made me fall in love with it. Stayed for nearly two months while my house was getting renovated and felt like I was on a long extended holiday. The hosts (Lara and Jente) were very helpful and accomodating with everything. Smaller kitchen than what I was used to, but it worked out in the long run and ended up eating cleaner, fresher meals and got fit as a result. Plus being able to have dinner while watching the sun set from the balcony was absolutely heavenly. Will miss that place for sure. Thank you ladies!

Half Moon House
Thank you Rosie for sharing your beautiful place. The home is positioned so nicely, right across from Half Moon Bay, and the drive way is set up for easy access on and off of Beach road. The outdoor space is huge and lovely. And the home, is set up perfectly to move right in and feel at home. Fabulous amenities and well equipped kitchen. Thank you Rosie!!!

Spacious - ArtDeco - St Kilda The perfect location
This was our second stay at Natalie‘s. We love Saint Kilda but we love it because we have such a nice place to stay. The apartments are in an old hotel called the Arizona. It has so much character along with all the amenities.

Bright Modern CBD waterside Apt Free parking pool
Charlie’s place was clean and comfortable to stay in. His fast responses and clear instructions were greatly appreciated and made communication very easy. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Stunningly designed 3 levels on Port Melb Beach.
Wonderful location to stay in! We had a car and the private parking space in the gated area was perfect. We also took public transportation and the tram was a short walk. We did so much on our week long stay, and after a full day of activities it was great to come back to our place. The bathrooms were great, instant hot water with no wait! The beach is just a block or two away, and we gathered a lot of shells to collect, there were millions on the shore! We had a full week including a few day trips. South Melbourne Market and Prahran market were wonderful markets. We drove out to Yarra Valley and did a U Pick fruit tour, we did a small walk at Rainforest Gallery, we did a Funky Farm tour(so cool!), and we even saw the Penguin Parade which is a must do! Some details, what worked best for us was parking the car and then using the key card to go through the passenger gate to get in/out of the front door. There is also a small remote to unlock open/close the car gate. Thanks Gemma!!

Amazing Apt+Heated Pool in secure luxury building
Our family of four stayed here for four nights. The beds were super comfortable and the apartment was clean and extremely well set up for a short or longer stay. We loved all the extra touches like the welcome treats and toiletries. It was super handy having a dishwasher and washing machine. The apartment is very secure and we loved the location, which is very near to tram stops and a vibrant local area including great cafes and restaurants. There is also a Woolworths metro very nearby. Bring your running shoes if you enjoy running, as there is an excellent 5km loop around the Lake, just across the road. The pool area is amazing, with the most stunning views, lovely tepid water and piping hot rain showers to warm you up if it's a bit cold or windy. Simon and Renee are amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome! We will definitely stay here again next time we come back to Melbourne, as I can't imagine finding another place that ticks so many boxes. Thanks guys!

Huge, stylish, central, 3 br apartment with pool.
We had a fantastic stay in this spacious and airy 60's-style apartment, which was perfect for our group of six ladies travelling for a sports event. The apartment had everything we needed—plenty of bedding, towels, pillows, and even extra mattresses. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable, making it feel like a home away from home. Sarah, our host, was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating from start to finish, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The location was ideal and made getting around super easy. We had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay—highly recommended!

Top beachside location in Hampton- ground floor
A stone throw from the beach, coffee shops, street and train station. Nice spot to relax and unwind. Janelle was helpful very kind. I’ll be staying here again.

Amzing Ocean View On THE Beach City Location
What a fabulous spot to enjoy what Melbourne has to offer. The views are truly spectacular and the apartment is well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

Port Melbourne Penthouse with City Skyline Views
Mia place is in a great location, walking distance to beach, off-leash dog parks and main Port Melbourne street full of cafes, shops and pubs. There is also public transport nearby to enable further travel to Melbourne main tourist spots. Highly recommend this Airbnb.

Beach Street Luxury | Beach & Bay Views
I lived in Port Melbourne and nearby years ago so it was wonderful to be back. The apartment was perfectly located, just beside the promenade, handy for those morning walks, strolls, runs, and super for a nothing walk on to the beach for yoga or a dip. The main street was a few min walk for cafes, restaurants, and supermarkets and shops. We also got a week pass for the South Pacific Health Club Gym. A really good gym, great views, only a 3 min walk, reasonably priced, 24/7, and very friendly. The 109 tram is again a few min walk. So handy for South Melbourne Market, The CBD, or the Australian Open. The apartment itself is really well decorated and kitted out. A sense of openness and yes beautiful views. Such a bonus to have the shared pool too.

The Hamptons | Condo Steps From Williamstown Beach
Stunning location and beautiful unit that has everything you could need. We really appreciated the extra towels, kids cutlery, excellent TV and communication provided. Easy to check in and out. Would recommend this location. Thanks so much!

Beach Living - “A bit of Mykonos near Mordialloc!”
Really great location. The place is really well set up, and Julienne is extremely friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

Home away from home close to the Beach & Bay St!
Excellent stay! The apartment is spacious and beautiful, and located in a great area. Sakshee was also extremely communicative and took care of all our needs.

Beach Hideaway
Our stay at Beach Hideaway was enhanced by our host Laura's excellent instructions and introduction to the property. Beach Hideaway is a dream of a small property, beautifully fitted out with everything one could need. It was fastidiously clean and attractively appointed. The bedroom, with plentiful cupboards and attractive bed coverings to choose from was very comfortable. The kitchen included all new equipment, large frig freezer, stove top and oven and two person compact dishwasher. Plenty of room in the laundry for a washing machine and dryer. The outside area contained a garden, nice furniture and a barbecue. The property also had off street parking for one car. A step and a hop takes you to Parkdale Beach and the main street shopping strip. We had a thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable time in Beach Hideaway and look forward to a return visit. Oh by the way, we also enjoyed the chocolates Laura kindly left for us!

Romantic Beach Condo
We had another wonderful stay at Josephine’s beautiful beach condo. Perfect location! Great cafes & restaurants all in walking distance. Highly recommend!

Empress Escape
We had a most wonderful time for our 3 month stay at Matthew’s apartment. It’s clear that Matthew has spent a considerable amount of time, effort and money making the apartment what it is. The furnishings, beds, bedding and equipment are all top notch. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need and more. Lots of little touches that go a long way to making your stay as comfortable as possible. Matthew Is an amazing host and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a good stay.He truly cares about giving you the best experience. Williamstown is a great place to stay, with easy access to central Melbourne via train. The station is less than a 10 minute walk from the apartment. There are great cafes and restaurants in Williamstown itself, within an easy few minutes walk. Our favourite being ‘The Pint of Milk’. There is lots of great walks and cycling along the coastal paths and a lovely beach. The apartment was quiet with beautiful views, nice patio for breakfast and dinner

Admirals View 2 bedroom Apartment - Situated on ‘The Strand’, Williamtown’s best street, with bike and walking paths along waterfront.
Very helpful host - Fabulous apartment - super location! Would definitely like to stay here again - thank you so much!

Hampton Beach House
Simon's place is extremely peaceful, clean and in a lovely location. Everything is very thoughtfully and neatly laid out, and very functional. I would happily stay here again next time I'm visiting Melbourne.
