Homestays in Victoria, Australia

We had a ”Deluxe 2 Bedroom Cabin” which was very clean and well maintained. Not much space between these cabins but there wasn't any noise so that wasn't an issue. Beds and lounge furniture was comfortable and the usual selection of tea bags, coffee sachets and toiletries were provided. All in all no complaints with the accommodation. The one issue we did have was with the wifi - although advertised as having wifi the connection was so unreliable and slow we gave up and ended up tethering our phones to our laptops and using mobile data so we could do what work that we needed to do. However we would stay there again, the location is good and the accommodation we had was better than we had expected.

This caravan park is spotless and well laid out. The lady in reception was friendly, the amenities block is clean, and there are plenty of bins scattered around the park. It is very well maintained. This is the second time we've been here and we were not disappointed.

The rooms were very basic and a bit dated, although they were clean. There were no staff working at the property. The bathrooms were shared with other guests. Overall you get what you pay for. The location was great and was very central to the MCG and Richmond. It is cheap accommodation for anyone looking in Melbourne.

If you’re looking for the perfect setting for a romantic getaway, these lux safari tents do not disappoint. Soft mood lighting, quality bedding, heating, cooling, all so clean and new. Beach views that should cost way more. Walk out directly onto pristine beach or bathe in a claw foot tub on your private deck under festoon lights. Our safari tent had everything we needed so I can’t comment on the park other than the staff were super friendly and checkin and out was a breeze.

I wish I had something to compare this to in the same area but it was our first time on the Great Ocean Road. Overall, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of this place during the ”off-season”. We were here in April which is early Fall. Basically this is a group of small buildings made into cottages a block from the beach. Each one is unique I think. They made arrangements for an early check-in by leaving the keys in an envelope in the door of the office. Thank you so much! We stayed in the front cottage (I forget the name now) but it had parking, a large main room with a bed, sitting area, and a large luxurious tub which I loved using. There's a fridge, and the AC doubles as a heater which we used because we were chilly. The bed also had a heated mattress pad to turn on and make you cozy. Across the street is a supermarket where you can but all your snacks, wine, and what-have-you. Would certainly stay here again, but did notice some cottages on the beach which might beckon us to try next time? One good thing about his location is you are very near all the restaurants and cafes.

beautiful little cottage with an idyllic setting, easy drive to the Port Campbell main action area, the 12 apostles, Gibsons Steps and other popular tourist spots. they have an attached laundry area if you wish to use it and a small outdoor fenced space to just walk around taking in the country-life scenes of meadows and hills, the fishponds and the herds of cows. nothing much to do at the cottage per se but nice comfy place to spend the night. Be sure to inform the hosts if you're checking in late - it's not your standard commercial reception desk open 24/7. We arrived at almost midnight and the hosts thoughtfully left the house keys and a simple map to find our suite in a ”mysterious” envelope for us. It was fun! Room we choose: Garden Suite

10 “BIG4 ingenia Holiday Phillip island” From when we arrived early they let us check in early we’re super friendly and knowledgeable of local things to do and weather which was important for our stay, also the room when we arrived was better then some 4 star hotels we had stayed out great quality cooking appliances and utensils as well as washing machine and dryer all in A1 condition and comfy beds in both rooms highly recommend and we will definitely be back no more staying at overpriced places around the island this place was amazing and had kids playground games rooms with arcade games and even a jumping pillow for all age kids couldn’t recommend this place enough even had separate kitchen rooms and bbq area for people staying in campers or caravan without those facilities in them and clean showers and toilets if you haven’t tried big4 ingenia definitely give them a try we will be back

Cabin has everything you need!!! Room was cozy and clean, there was a pantry with pots, pans, utensils - home was also very conveniently located to the city centre! Spotted many wild kangaroos too!

We had a fabulous stay at Oxley Estate, and the Manor accommodation was superb,fitted 2 families comfortable. It comes with comfy bedding, fully equiped kitchen and plenty of seating. The pool and bbq area are great and the farm animals were an absolute hit. The hosts are truly the best and super helpful.

Abbotsford Mansion home stay was quite a pleasant experience on this occassion. The room was tidy, amenities were good, the room was clean and quite well presented for this price point. I found the staff helpful and quite friendly also. The only negative feedback I would give was that at times, I could hear conversations going on downstairs form my room on the first floor. But otherwise, my stay was quite pleasant and relaxing. I also appreciated the lovely courtyard off the main living area, very pretty. Also great location.

We stayed for the second year over New Years Eve. Staff are lovely - nothing is too much trouble. Park facilities and location are great. Only negative is that the cabins are getting very tired, definitely time for a bit of money to be spent on a refresh. However compared to many other parks at this time of year the cabins are relatively cheap so I guess like most things in life you get what you pay for. All of this said we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

I can totally recommend this holiday park. Booked 3 cabins for my family and we had the best time From check in with Lisa to enjoying the pool, jump pillow and playground The hosts are friendly but don’t intrude on your stay, but are there if you need them Gave a heap of information about the beaches places to eat. Cabins clean and comfortable We are already planning our next visit and to stay longer Thanks for a wonderful weekend

Ensuites on the campsites were clean. the actual usable size of our campsite and some of the others were smaller than advertised due to trees on the site so that would be something worth asking when booking. Also disappointed that we weren't told in advance that the camp kitchen was closed for maintenance - luckily we brought our own cooking equipment and weren't reliant on this.

Very clean and hygienic, praise, will choose this homestay next time, recommend friends around you to live, really super comfortable, the environment is good, the service attitude is very good.

The Airport Tourist Village clearly acts as an accommodation for transit visitors as well as construction workers, although the areas appear to be quite defined. Transit travelers are accommodated in spacious apartment style rooms that consist of a bedroom, bathroom, lounge area and kitchen. The Bedroom is of a re, containing a very comfortable sofa, reasonable size and contains a large comfortable bed as well as providing considerable closet and storage space. The lounge area is spacious, containing, apart from some occasional furnishings and nice artwork, a very comfortable sofa as well as a dining table and chairs. The kitchen is spacious and is well supplied with kitchenware and complimentary beverages. The bathroom is of a reasonable size, but the shower itself is quite small, meaning that the knocking of elbows while washing becomes inevitable. While towels, bathmat and complimentary toiletries are supplied, face cloths are not. Wi-Fi connection was existent but erratic. Located on a bus route enabling residents to reach local train stations and a five-minute walk from a small local shopping centre which includes several dining options.

We are very familiar with pet friendly accommodation and this does not cater for pets. Are Motels really allowed to say pet friendly when they are not? This place.. No gated safe area either the front or back of our room. If you don't want to wake up to the work traffic at 5.30 am this is the place to avoid. I'm use to noise but this was too much. I read negative reviews way back in 2015 about the cleanliness and nothing has changed, because of that.. I don't think these owners care. You'll be disappointed like we were if you stay here. It also says your towels are changed every 3 days .. nope. Rubbish emptied at least once a week... nope. I can't say one positive comment about this Motel..... so disappointed. We won't be back.

Just finished our third stay at this park and we continue to be impressed. The facilities are always clean and the bins are always empty. There’s a nice pool and spa as well as a laundry with plenty of washing machines and driers. There’s even some private ensuites but I’d go for the older main showers. They are exceptional. Plenty of hot water and great water pressure.

Yes, the room is a little dated but it's very well priced so not an issue. Booked the room via booking.com ... but first rang the lodge to see if they could match the rate so they'd get all the income. However, they wouldn't ... go figure. Stayed five nights at the last minute (husband suddenly in hospital). No weddings on so parking was easy. Gardens are quite lovely and at night they're very pretty with fairy lights. I was really comfortable, felt safe, had plenty of space to move and put my gear, car park right outside, quiet spot (amazingly) and good snoozy bed. Loved being able to watch TV from a sofa (rather than a bed) and I used the desk to draw or use my laptop. Also had a spacious bench to make breakfast or snacks. Getting in and out of the motel onto the main road was easy (school hols so roads are much less crowded). It's a solid half hour walk to the nearest train station and a pleasant (although somewhat noisy) stroll. There's also a bus along Middleborough Rd going to Box Hill station which would be worth looking at . However I worked out where to park close by Laburnum station without paying, so was relatively easy to get into the city and back without needing to take out a parking mortgage. Reception staff pleasant. Didn't use breakfast facilities, air conditioning or wifi, not that I was provided with a password. Every time I needed access, it was after reception closed so gave up. Definitely stay here again when we need accommodation in the east. Was very happy. Keep your expectations realistic and you'll be fine.

The place was cheap and did the job for only going there to sleep. Got what we paid for. It’s fine. The room description said queen size bed but it was definitely a double. There was mould in the bathroom and no soaps for us to use, only two packets of shampoo. The aircon was not the best but did the job. Lots of places throughout the hotel that need a touch up, it’s very old and has had barley any work done. The entire place has an odd smell of dust and other stuff and I couldn’t stop sneezing the whole time. Everything was cheap, TV was cheap, towels were cheap, pillow covers were cheap. But, the staff were lovely and helpful. The location is very good. The hotel is beautiful on the outside. The bed was very comfy.

We wanted somewhere central and comfortable to stay for a couple of nights, but not a motel or a house. This was the most appealing, looking at the web site. We found it to be very comfortable and cosy. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was nice and modern and stocked with some nice teas. King bed was really comfortable, with interesting marine artefacts above and the heating was great. However, the shower was just warm enough and the water from the bathroom tap took ages to heat up. The bathroom was nice and large which was good as usually we find them rather small. An extra ledge to put things in there would be useful. There was some noise from trucks overnight, but it is opposite a hospital. The bathroom door is rather unusual - large, heavy and we were curious as to why as we'd never seen one like this before. We were able to walk to dinner at a nearby hotel bistro. We enjoyed our breakfast out on the porch in the lovely courtyard. We really enjoyed our stay.

We arrived late at the hotel. We arrived at 8 or 9 o'clock. The front desk of the hotel left an envelope in the mailbox of the front desk, indicating the location of the room, but did not leave the key, and reminded us to check out the next morning at 10 o'clock ~ The room was early and late, and I stayed very nervous for one night. After finding the location of the house marked in the envelope, it was found that the door of the wooden house was unlocked and the key was placed inside. Feeling insecure. This house is a wooden house, but the taste in the room is really old, and the overall experience is very average.

This is a quirky property. The host Tanya was very welcoming and just wanted us to make sure we had everything we needed. It was good that a continental breakfast is provided as well as some soft drinks and beer in the fridge, for a small fee. A query about the TV remote was resolved quickly and we were very happy. One of the good things about the property is that dogs are welcome to stay as well. The property is around 10 mins drive from Avalon Airport which is great for those traveling. We like the fact that the Little River Hotel is next door. We would recommend and return here in the future.
