Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Wye River

I recently stayed at a stunning hillside Airbnb, and it was nothing short of magical. Nestled on a quiet, private hill, the property offered the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. The views from the house were absolutely breathtaking—lush greenery surrounded the area, and every morning I was greeted with the sound of birds chirping and the peaceful sight of the sun rising over the hills. The home itself was beautifully designed, blending rustic charm with modern amenities. It felt cozy yet spacious, with large windows that allowed natural light to pour in and provide panoramic views of the landscape. I loved the outdoor space, which included a private deck perfect for sipping coffee while watching the sunset. What truly set this Airbnb apart, though, was the sense of tranquility. The only sounds were the breeze and nature, offering the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The host was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, ensuring everything was in place

If you're looking for a tranquil escape, Coral Fern Retreat is it! The home is immaculately presented, and Barbara and Greg couldn't have been better hosts – their detailed instructions were so helpful. I can't recommend it enough and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Nicks place was one word: phenomenal. Not only were the team absolutely amazing and helpful, but we went there and felt like it was our own. The home is as seen in photos, above the ocean in the sky. Surrounded by trees and beautiful nature. The walkway into the Airbnb was made to perfection. The team put a lot of effort in to every corner of that place. We even had a wonderful 90 minute massage done overlooking the ocean! As a female, to see an original GHD straightener for their guests blew my mind. The candles by the bath - the welcoming fairy lights. It’s the small things that made this place better than what i expected. The ocean, the home, the host. 100/10. Highly recommended to all and definitely will return.

Simon and Mella’s home was absolutely perfect for our family wedding weekend. The house was ideal for three families and our grandchildren loved the games and trampoline. The house well equipped and had everything (and more) than we could have asked for. The views were magnificent and the surrounds were so very peaceful. Time in the hammock and looking out to the ocean is a must if you stay at 180 Vista! Simon and Mella responded immediately to any questions l had and were extremely accommodating with check in times. Thank you Simon and Mella!

I had the most wonderful stay at this Airbnb – everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described in the listing (if not even better in person!). The attention to detail was impressive – from the cozy furnishings to the fully equipped kitchen and thoughtful little touches that made me feel right at home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had the best sleep during my stay. The bathroom was clean and modern, with great water pressure and all the amenities I needed. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which was important for me since I needed to do some work during my trip. The location was also perfect – quiet and peaceful, yet close to everything. Whether it was cafes, restaurants, or public transport, everything was within easy reach. I truly felt like I was living like a local, which made my experience even more enjoyable. The host was exceptional – super responsive, friendly, and welcoming. Co

Loved Mark's place. Cosy, great design, amazing art, and gorgeous gardens. Highly recommend!

I booked Nick’s place for a restorative weekend away with a group of girlfriends and would highly recommend it. The house is absolutely beautiful, tasteful furnishings, well appointed kitchen and pantry and well stocked with beautiful towels and linens. The view is stunning. We really appreciated the welcome touches and the fire ready to be lit! Nick was responsive and attentive without being intrusive. Thank you Nick and Lisa!

Thank you! Very clean, great location, clear instructions. Had a great time thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at Cockatoo View! It was a beautiful space and offered a fantastic view!

We had a fantastic long weekend here, Lisa was an amazing host and the apartment was stunning and comfortable.

A beautiful apartment a stones throw from GMHBA stadium. Rachael was so helpful and responsive, and the apartment perfectly matched the photos. We will be back.

We enjoyed staying at Seafarers. Warrick was really communicative and all was clear to us with what to expect and instructions. We loved the view looking out to the ocean. Thanks for a great stay Warrick.

Fabulous place! We had an amazing time and it's probably the best-equipped Airbnb we've ever stayed at. The attention to detail is impressive, with everything thoughtfully provided, from the cozy bedding to the well-stocked kitchen. The host truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home. The location was perfect too—close to town and beach but still peaceful and private. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and will definitely be back

Susan’s apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our getaway. It was the perfect location, close to the shops and restaurants but off the main strip so it is not noisy. Susan was very responsive, provided lots of information and even checked in with us as soon as the power went out (for a few seconds). The early check in and late check out were a bonus!

Great place Loved the site, nice clean house. Just tucked away in peaceful place. Plenty of sleeping option. Lisa was great to deal with. No doubt will visit again.

We had a great time at the Portarlington National Celtic festival over the June long weekend. To top this off our very comfortable accommodation was a highlight. The Hosts have put so much effort to make their place a home away from home and it shows with every thoughtful detail . Certainly would recommend to anyone wanting to stay and also explore the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. Hopefully we can return for another luxury escape !! Rgds Margaret & Bob

We had a great stay at George's place. Great view of the breaking waves from the deck, a warm house, comfy bed, well-equipped and stocked kitchen. Communication was easy. All as good as could be!

I had a lovely stay at Boonaview at The Victoria. The place was just as described—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Ruth was a wonderful host—very responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout the stay. I really appreciated her clear communication and warm hospitality. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

A hidden gem just outside Lorne where the only drama is deciding whether to have your wine in the hot tub or by the fire. Spoiler: we did both. Peaceful, cozy, and the perfect spot to live your best relaxed life.

We had a wonderful stay at Ria's place. The house is exactly like the photos, beautiful, luminous and well equiped. It has everything you need (even an office!). There were six of us (grandparents and 2 kids) and we had an amazing time. Ria was lovely to interact with and very responsive. We would love to come back! Thank you Ria!!

It was such an incredible trip! Isla was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The place itself is amazing—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Highly recommended!

Genuinely wonderful! Go beachfront if you can - it is worth it. Views incredible, villa is perfect, location is out of this world. Will definitely be back.

This place is exactly what is advertised. What a great place! We walked into nice smells, warmth and a bottle chilled, nice touch Fran. The bed, the bath, the view! All stellar! I want that bed, bath and view all year round. Attention to detail was my biggest carry out. So many pump bottles with various creams and lotions. Luxury bathrobes. The bed again, it was next level. Fire place with everything you needed. Windows very clean, even the balcony wall glass. Gardens pretty, so pretty. Sofa big enough to lounge on. Kitchen with everything I needed, even quality plates and bowls. Single drawer dishwasher! Black out draw down blinds. The spa has candles. A local guide book that is actually helpful! 7min drive to town. Earth friendly products. I found this place to be the best place on Airbnb I’ve ever stayed. I could go on about their attention to detail. Fran was really attentive to anything I had to ask. We had zero issues and now have an Airbnb we’ll visit more. Thanks Fran.

We had a lovely start at Wisteria cottage. Everything was as expected and more. We were traveling with a child and toddler and were very comfortable during the stay. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time at the farm. The biggest highlight being the tractor tour of the farm and interacting with the animals are close quarters. The cottage was perfect in all aspects and had a homely feel about it. We would highly recommend it to anyone especially if you are traveling with children.
