Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Hawthorn East

A stay in Maple Cottage feels like a warm hug. What stood out most for us was the immediate ambience of coming home, on arrival. It was very easy to relax in the comfort of this clean, cosy space, situated in a quiet neighbourhood very conveniently located to amenities. Attention to detail in the décor and the interior design skills of whoever has decorated Maple cottage, have achieved a very good balance of function, simplicity and quality in this lovely home. Thank you Nancy for your quick responses and ease of communication. I would love to stay in Maple Cottage again.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Chambers South Yarra. Location was great with restaurants and supermarket close by. It was also just a short drive to the city. The home is perfect for families. Min and Ted are amazing hosts! They are very kind and responsive and they made sure we had a pleasant stay. Highly recommend The Chambers and we look forward to staying here again when in Melbourne!

It was a home away from home. We grew to love the place with the natural lighting, heated floors, piano/keyboard and the deli round the corner. Raymond was also excellent in responding to our queries.

I have stayed in many airbnbs over the years but James place is just perfect. James is welcoming, friendly and obliging. The cottage has everything you could need and more. We arrived late and having all the items needed for breakfast was so appreciated. The cottage is warm and inviting. The bedrooms are large and well equipped from bedding, to hangers and even electric charge spots. The kitchen too has all you will need. The lounge is comfortable with a lovely view to a well maintained garden. The cottage is very well situated for the local Elsternwick area - shops, restaurants and a supermarket close by. Public transport is also very accessible to local areas and to the city and sporting venues. Honestly you couldn't ask for more for your stay in Melbourne.

So happy to be back here for the second time. Mary is very nice，and the house is cozy and comfortable. It’s also conveniently located near the venue where my child plays basketball games. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again！Thanks Mary❤️

Amazing location! Would stay here again.

A very enjoyable stay. The house was clean, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. The location is great, well within walking distance to the city and right by the South Melbourne markets. Would definitely stay again and recommend others giving it a look!

Thanks Rachel and Bianca for a great stay in your beautiful home. The house was the perfect size for the two of us and we loved the amenities - particularly the loft bed! Was very impressed by the furnishings. The Myki cards were great too and tram instructions easy to follow. Would highly recommend to others, and we hope to be back soon. Tammy & Jarrad, Auckland NZ

Great place, just as described. Very helpful and responsive owner. Instructions made it easy.

Great apartment in a quiet Melbourne neighborhood—perfect for a comfortable stay. The space is clean, well-equipped, and having a washer was super convenient. Ana was an excellent host—very communicative and responsive. When I mentioned the kitchen knives needed sharpening, she went above and beyond and bought a new set. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a hassle-free stay in Melbourne!

A lovely stay. Everything was as represented and the apartment was comfortable and cosy. It was very peaceful staying by the river, and also convenient to everything I needed. Communication with the host was easy and questions were quickly responded to. I would recommend to others and would happily stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights at Allan and Elizabeth’s listing. The place was as per photos and felt very clean and fresh. Host was kind to get the heating turned on for us before we arrived as it was a cold day. We chose this area as it was in close proximity to the massive Chadstone shopping centre and is between Melbourne and Phillip Island (penguins). Overall a very pleasant and easy stay. Do note to request for self check-in if required as we had the host wait up for us and we felt really bad!

"We had a wonderful stay at Collingwood! The location was perfect, and the accommodation was lovely. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their hospitality was top-notch, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay. Thank you for your warmth and generosity. We can't wait to stay with you again!" 5/5 stars.

We stayed at Cathie and Michael’s for three nights. The apartment is situated close to cafes, restaurants and shops, with a tram stop not too far away. The apartment was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Even though we went in winter, we still made use of the spacious verandah. It’s one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in, we would definitely stay again.

Catherine was very helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the booking, check in and check out process. The place was amazing and in such a great location in St Kilda. The added touch of putting the fire on for us on arrival, on a cold evening, was very thoughtful. We had a great time in St Kilda and Melbourne, using Catherine's place as a hub made it all the more special. I cannot forget to mention the great recommendations for cafes, bars and restaurants locally that are now on our 'must go back to' list.

Brian's place is fantastic! The location is central to everything you want to be near in Melbourne, and the place itself is a little oasis of calm. This is our second time staying here, and we would stay here again too! And Brian is a responsive and kind host.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless – very clean and tidy throughout, which made it super comfortable. The location was central and convenient, with easy access to public transport, making it a great base for exploring the area. The host was exceptional – clear and consistent with communication, and all instructions were easy to follow. They were also incredibly hospitable and flexible, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The whole stay was seamless. Perfect apartment to explore Melbourne

We felt very cosy in this apartment due to the great couch, comfortable bed, terrific heater in the bedroom and nice decor as well as really clean throughout. The kitchen is well appointed and the bathroom has good shelf space and a really hot and good pressure shower.

This is a great place, great location, very clean. Relaxing view, pool, spa and sauna. Would definitely recommend to others.

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.

Great accommodation. Very quiet at night considering it’s near crossways with trams. Public transport only 2 mins walk away( trams), catch to Caulfield train station( 5 mins away). The apartment is very bright and sunny, amenities are great. Good setup with kitchen ( gas cooker), if wishing to stay home and cook. Lastly , the bed!!!! Sooooo comfortable, has electric blanket, and good supporting pillows. Highly recommend staying, the city is so close but away from the maddening crowds and noise.. chadstone shopping centre is just an uber away.

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

I’m glad to have stayed at Aster’s place once again—this time at a different listing. The location was incredibly convenient, situated right opposite Southern Cross Station, which made getting to and from the airport a breeze. With trams just around the corner, exploring the city was easy and accessible. It was a smooth and pleasant stay overall, and I’ll happily choose Aster’s place again the next time I’m in Melbourne.
