Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Fitzroy

I stayed in this charming one-bedroom Fitzroy house while visiting my daughter and found it a lovely, well-located base. The bright downstairs area had a large back window and a small patio — perfect for nice weather. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, even with milk for tea, and all linens and essentials were provided. The airy loft bedroom was comfortable and mostly quiet. The host was excellent — quick to respond and helpful with local tips. One caveat: there was active construction on both sides of the house. While not constant, some days included noise from heavy equipment and hammering, which might matter if you’re home during the day. Otherwise, a great stay just two blocks from the tram and easy walking distance to everything Fitzroy offers.

Great spot, pretty quiet. Easy access to Melbourne CBD and surrounds. Bed was comfy. Would be happy to stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay – the house is beautifully styled, in a great neighborhood, and easy to find with accessible parking. It’s a cozy, welcoming space that’s clearly well looked after. Just a heads up: the 2 bedrooms in the main house don’t have AC, so if you're sensitive to temperature, it might be worth considering the season before booking - there is AC in the main living area, but it's at the other end of the house. It was unseasonably warm in Melbourne during our stay, but we got through it alright. Kali was a fantastic host – super responsive and friendly, and since she lives next door, she was always around if we needed anything. Would happily stay again!

Great location, easy access to public transport and amenities. Beautifully decorated, a lovely space to escape to.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, very peaceful and quiet while also being close to transport and shops/restaurants. We really enjoyed the fireplace and spa tub. Would definitely recommend and would stay again. Naomi was a great host and communicator.

We had a pleasant and comfortable stay at Mel's apartment in Clifton Hill, a great spot for us during our visit to Melbourne with easy access to tram and trains. A comfortable bed with good linens,a great shower and a welcome selection of tea, coffee and breakfast sundries. Good communication with Mel ,always with a quick response Close to the house the corner shop ,nearby small supermarket were useful and The Dirty Apron cafe was a favourite coffee spot as well as Uncle Drew's Cafe. It was an ideal spot for us when visiting our daughter in Thornbury with easy access to Flinders street and Central Melbourne tourist spots

Great spot in North Fitzroy and the hosts are very user friendly. Would stay again!

Gemimas place is amazing The apartment is beautiful, spacious and a little oasis amidst the business of Gertrude street The outdoor bath/garden is so beautiful and serene - we got some sunshine out there and it was just gorgeous One of the best airbnbs we’ve stayed in Will definitely be looking to stay again

A nice, affordable stay near the city. Clean, spacious. Parking available with permit. Mr. Chappy was a pleasant surprise. Roz was friendly and helpful. Recommend.

Lewis went above and beyond what was required - we had long air flights across time zones so he made sure we had the instructions for the lock box. The flat is very close to lots of eateries and Lewis has details of which streets to look along. It’s close to the CBD and just opposite a large park, and the flat is lovely inside. A great place to stay.

We loved our stay here and the hosts Jared and Kristy were lovely and very responsive! Studio was nice, cozy and clean. It was more spacious than we expected for the 3 of us. Weather was freezing in Melb and a heater was also kindly set up for us. Location is fantastic, in front of the beautiful Carlton Gardens and easily walkable to the city and surrounding suburbs (e.g. Fitzroy). We left our car in the car park and walked everywhere we wanted. Lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby (also appreciated the recommendations by the hosts). Apartment complex is very secure (incl. car park). We'd like stay here when we visit Melb again in the near future.

Art is a very attentive host. Easy check in and great location.

Perfect location! Walking distance to main strip of great restaurants and shops and great communication from hosts.

Jillian's space was thoughtful and well set out. Such quiet surrounds for city living. Park just down the street for beautiful walks with special directions from the hostess for the best views. Wonderfully modern bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom with the biggest shower you will ever find. Would recommend and definitely request to stay again in the future.

Such a great place, we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The apartment was clean, well equipped and felt homely yet modern. The location is fantastic and we were able to explore the local area (including lots of cafe, restaurants and shops) by foot. We highly recommend this place!

I had a very enjoyable stay! Quiet, comfortable, cosy, private & well appointed kitchen & bathroom. Also very close to all the highlights of Smith & Gertrude Streets & Collingwood Yards. I’d certainly like to return! Thank you :)

Its an apartment with a magnificent view across Melbourne, right next to the incredible Victoria Market and the thumping heart of the centre of the city. Yet it is peaceful and quiet. The pool is long and lovely and there is a gym too. Selina was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely come back if I visited Melbourne again.

Kate's cosy apartment was super good. Restaurants, theaters, great shopping, transport and even parks all really close by. Really close. Great shower, comfy bed, and so many thoughtful extras that I never expected. Thanks Kate for a wonderful week.

My wife and I had great 5 day stay. Amanda was a great host and clear with her instructions. The unit is in a fantastic position, ultra quiet and close to all you need to do in Melbourne without the hustle and bustle of staying in the CBD. We would gladly stay at Amanda's place again on our next journey to Melbourne. Steven and Lisa

A great stay, just on the edge of China town, the food in the area is incredible. Aside from endless food and drink the stay itself was perfect. A great space, the photos of the place honestly don’t do it justice. Having a night in the high rise with the city views is just a good time all around. Grantley, was incredibly responsive and was flexible when we needed something. We would stay here again without thought. Truly sad to have to check out! Till next time.

Excellent high quality building. Simon was wonderful to deal with. Pool on the roof was a highlight

Beautiful place with astonishing night view. There's still room for improvement on the cleanness of bedding sets.

Great apartment for a short stay in Melboure. Host was quick to respond to any questions and helpful. Supermarkets near by, close to public transport and in a nice area of Melbourne. Super comfy bed, good bathroom and enough kitchen facilities to cook a meal. I collected keys from a nearby location - easy to do, but something to note if you're arriving super early/late. Would recommend!

The unit is close to Fitzroy’s coffee shops, bars and such but its location is peaceful and surrounded by wonderful trees and greenery. It’s cosy and as described in the listing. As well as the local area it was a great base for exploring Melbourne as a whole. Rebecca always replied quickly and she acted appropriately when we discovered a maintenance issue. Two recommendations right on the doorstep: Slowpoke coffee (including the best banana bread); and the tour of the Royal Exhibition Building from the Melbourne Museum.
