Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
Great hosts, lovely apartment, excellent location. Perfect for my family and I, thank you for accommodating our requests for an extra set of keys as well as baby amenities. Overall a wonderful stay.

Riverside Suite
Wonderful stay at Teah and Matt's place! Beautiful apartment with amazing views! Close to all the sights, restaurants and trams to explore the city. The trains can be noisy but we were tired so fell into background for sleeping. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

Heart of Melbourne CBD
We enjoyed this air bnb very much, super close to the trams and trains. It was very clean and Pree responded pretty quickly. It has a washer, which was awesome and we were able to return home with clean clothes! Great stay and I can’t wait to go back.

Spacious 3 Bed Apt with Stunning River/City Views
An amazing place to stay with an amazing view and walking distance to some great amenities such as the exhibition centre, crown casino as well as close access to tram services that were in the free travel zone. Well appointed place with plenty of room for 3 adults to have their own space. Hosts were fantastic and always responded rapidly and easy to deal with. Hoping to come back and stay here again next year when back for work at the convention centre.

Spacious bayside unit close to the Beach & Bay St
Port Melbourne is a great area with lots to do and only a tram away from the city. Sakshee's place is strategically located near the beach which makes all the areas accessible. The place is clean and nice, communication is very good and very accommodating. The unit is a bit complex to get to with lots of doors to go through but Sakshee makes it easy with clear instructions. The unit is very private, cozy and quiet. Overall, worth every penny, I would go back there again when I go back to port Melbourne.

Riverside Apartment with Balcony
Staying at Sandy’s Airbnb was a fantastic experience! She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The place was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, convenient and close to everything. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches and the relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay!

Entire 1 Bedroom Riverside Apartment
For what we needed, a home away from home, close to family and great views. Grace’s apartment was just perfect. Already planning on when we can come back again.

Modern 1 Bedroom Apartment in Docklands
Mehria and Shahrooz's place was really clean, spacious and comfortable. Their unit has everything for cook. I enjoyed cooking like I was living in Melbourne reality. Tram station has 3 nearby, also you can go to Southern Cross station only 10 minutes on foot. So it was really convenient to go anywhere. They are really kind and friendly. I enjoyed my stay for a month. I highly recommend to stay this great place. Thanks, Mehria and Shahrooz.

Historic House & Oasis Pool Garden by the Beach
Marco was a great host. A perfect house for a large group.

Spacious large family house and garden
We loved this house!!! Lauren has done a beautiful job of furnishing and decorating this old 70s house. From the front, the street appeal isn't great but that doesn't matter at all once you enter. It's VERY spacious, stylish, comfortable and homely. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped, Lauren even provides multiple towels for each guest which is so lovely when having a longer stay! It's the small, thoughtful touches like this that can make a huge difference.. There are books and games for both kids and adults alike. Lauren is so helpful and friendly, and was always quick to respond. Despite being an older house, we can't fault our stay, we absolutely loved it and would happily return. Thank you so much Lauren!!

Two Level Luxe Townhouse
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 had a great time staying at Rebecca's lovely home in Williamstown. It's in a great location and right by the seafront! Will definitely look to stay here again when we next return

Waterside Elegance Tranquil Villa | Free Parking
Great place to stay for a larger group of people, plenty of space and amenities! The off-street parking was also a bonus. The local area is peaceful, quiet and some great cafes nearby! The communication from our host was exceptional with no detail spared. The ease of requesting a later check-out was truly appreciated! We’ll be reaching out to the host for future visits to Melbourne.

Waterside Place - Upscale River Precinct
Beautiful house it was so easy to find and felt just like home, beds felt amazing and comfortable. The house was super clean and was perfect for staying, would definitely stay longer. Especially the shopping centre being only a 5 min drives was perfect for shopping.

Trendy 2Bed/2Bath City Views Riverside Apartment
Thanks Rael, we had a great stay and your place worked perfectly for us.

Classy, large 2BR apartment, marina view
Lovely spacious contemporary apartment with easy access to CBD via the free tram which was only 2 minutes walk away. There were a few local restaurants within easy walk distance. My husband and I slept in the smaller bedroom as the traffic noise was less there & the bed more comfortable. No noise was heard from other apartments. We slept well there.

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment with AMAZING city views
Was an excellent base to attend concert at Marvel Stadium, explore the city and easy access to the airport. Thank you!
