Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kallista

We had a fantastic stay at Alix and Taj's property! The home was spotless, well-equipped, and perfectly maintained. Alix and Taj were wonderful hosts—helpful, friendly, and responsive. We loved the thoughtful touches like hotel-style bathroom products, fresh milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and even ramen (a big hit with the kids!). There were plenty of towels, adding to the comfort. The building lobby had a beautiful perfume—we even asked the concierge about it, though they didn’t know the scent. The location is unbeatable, with Southbank attractions nearby and easy access to public transport. We stayed over New Year’s and enjoyed a stunning view of the fireworks from The Shrine Celebration Zone—an unforgettable highlight! Highly recommend staying here, and we’d love to return. Thank you, Alix and Taj!

From the moment you enter this beautiful ecletic home, it encompasses you in a world like no other. Set upon a beautiful property with views, wild life and gorgeous colours. We spent time in each corner and section of the house, embracing the magical, tranquil space. Reading the magazines on the coffee table, speaks of the history of the house and shows it in all its glory through the various seasons. Full glass walls allows for natural light to embrace you and for what seems to be no boundary between inside and outside with the greenry throughout. At night you can watch the sunset and get lost in the stars and observe the sugar gliders and ringtail possoms as they visit. It is truly a labour of love & clearly the life work of the lovely Veronika. Although the host lives nearby in a guest house, you can see the pride and love she has for this retreat. A warm welcome, clear house rules to ensure the stay is comfortable but also to preserve her beautiful home. Perfect place to escape.

Brian and Rhonda’s property has everything you could ask for as a family. We loved our time here, especially the sandpit and introducing our little one to a record player. The spa bath was lots of fun, and being surrounded by nature and animals made this a truly memorable stay.

Thank you for allowing us to stay. The home was beautifully presented with essential amenities provided. The grandchildren loved watching the cows and the long veranda accommodated playtime when raining. It was a lovely stay. Thank you

A lovely place for our extended family to come together for a weekend. Plenty of room to hang out, with own bedrooms. Great location, and wonderful View

This was my second stay in Tikali's wonderful apartment, and will be my favorite home to return to when I come to Melbourne. Perfect location for my work, stunning apartment offers comfortable stay. Not to mention the view! Best kept secret to share with you!

Nestled on a slope, the house is beautifully designed and decorated and feels very warm and cosy. The host is very responsive to our queries and even provided us with a list of recommendations on things to do around Warburton. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s coming to Melbourne and would like to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, this place will be a welcome respite.

Colin was an excellent host. Communication was great, he even opend the appartement for us prior to the usual checkin time. We had a perfect week at his place and can absolutely recommend it.

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:-))

We had a 3 night mini vacation, with our dogs. Jolene was a super host, and accepted our 3 dogs to stay. We spent most of the time at the dog beach, and the accommodation was exceptional for us with a secure undercover concrete outdoor space (where we spent almost all of our time). The unit was bigger than I expected and had everything you need. A few reviews commented on the noise, but it really isnt an issue (and im a light sleeper). We shared the space with son and partner and there was plenty of room. I would definitely stay again, so many great dinning options, and literally accross the road is beach access. For our personal stay it was to take the dogs to the off leash dog beach, which is only 5 min down the road, so perfect location, easy to get to. We enjoyed our stay, and i did get to meet Jolene and she was extremely welcoming and made us all feel right at home. Highly recommend, and as reviews have said, yes the shower pressure was amazing, especially after beach day

We had a gorgeous stay at Lavender Farm. Such a beautiful location to spend a few days, relax and enjoy the views. The breakfast provisions and walnut cake were so thoughtful and delicious. We would recommend a weekend away at Lavender Farm to everyone. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

Exceptional cottage. We loved our weekend! The cottage is better than the photos. The garden (front and back) is stunning and lots of wildlife and very secure for dogs. The cottage was super clean and had everything we needed. Great location - walking distance to Healesville shops and a short drive to so many wineries. Paul and Judith were great hosts and their property is GREAT value for money.

Temora House was absolutely stunning ! stayed here with a group of friends after a wedding- amazingly comfortable beds and really lovley amenities !! the house was extremely clean and the surroundings were beautiful, walking distance to a great cafe for breaky the next day Mitch was really great to communicate with and even helped us organise a shuttle to and from the wedding ! made a busy/stressful weekend easy and we were all extremely grateful ☺️

Very nice apartment, well fitted out and in a handy location for St Kilda. Lots of local bars, cafes and restaurants. Quiet apartment considering busy location. Geri was very helpful. Would definitely return for another stay.

Beautiful iconic Melbourne warehouse. Had all the amenities you would need. Very spacious and lots of toys to entertain the kids with. Location is great, short walk to train station and trams. Erika and Chris were super friendly and great hosts!

Sam, my dog, and I had a wonderful stay. Christine and family are lovely. The property was exactly as described. It's quite large and has a very comfortable bed and sofa (which is a comfortable sofa bed), WiFi, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The shower is a little tired but the water is hot and shampoo etc supplied. Sam was allowed access to the back yard which was a huge bonus for him. Cleaning up after him goes without saying. You're so close to the beach and Woolies, with trains and cafes, restaurants and a magnificent icecream shop not far away. We would definitely recommend this property and would definitely stay there again. Thanks Christine.

Excellent location & facility for me.

Ten adults in their 50’s go away every year for the Labour Day weekend it’s close to pubs, restaurants and bars, a wonderful period home. Pool was great as it was hot, but would also love a stay in winter with the wood fire heating. All in all, we had a fantastic time! Beds comfortable, place clean, plenty of kitchen and dining amenities. Finally, the place is big but still cozy. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

This was a terrific stay. A lovely, quiet apartment with everything needed for a comfortable visit. The place is close to trams and within walking distance of nice restaurants. The host is lovely and very communicative and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

Julie was responsive in communication, the accommodation was very homely, suited us perfectly - absolutely packed with kitchen supplies, linen clean, excellent walking distance to CBD and south Melbs market. Absolutely amazing and we will return. Easy check in and check out. 10/10. Thank you Julie ❤️

Great location, 300m from tram, 500m from train station. Clean, quiet, super comfy bed, toiletries were a nice touch which made the place feel more luxurious, outstanding communication - best I’ve ever had with an airbnb host. Great place to stay as a solo traveller or a couple.

Great apartment, modern with great fittings. Good location between restaurants, cafes and the river (great to walk along into the city). The only drawback was the construction opposite, but we were aware of this before we booked, so didn’t impact us too much and outside of the control of the host! Would happily stay again if we come back to Melbourne.

We had a wonderful four day stay at Nahla’s apartment. It was such a cute space, really tastefully put together. The cafe downstairs was really nice as well. The location itself makes getting around Melbourne pretty easy too. Would absolutely recommend this spot. Nahla was also super responsive and helpful as a host :)

Easy check in. Parking provided. Centrally located with great places for dinner in South bank. Walking distance to crown. Overall great experience.
