Holiday Homes in Melbourne
Melbourne's holiday-home scene spreads from the city's cultural heart to its leafy northern and eastern suburbs. Here, you can trade a hotel corridor for a whole house with a garden, a private pool, or a rooftop terrace. Stay near the CBD in neighbourhoods like Carlton or Richmond for quick access to museums and markets, or base yourself in the north-west for an easy airport commute. The price range reflects this diversity: a couple can find a simple two-bedroom pad for less than 250 Australian dollars a night, while larger groups can secure a six-bedroom property with multiple ensuites for over a thousand.
The holiday homes on this page are self-contained — most have kitchens, many have parking, and several welcome pets. A few others (listed separately as villas) also appear, but the focus here is on homes that offer space and independence. The city's character shows through in the details: converted factories in Fitzroy, a historic 1850s cottage near Gladstone Park, and townhouses with views over the Prahran Food Market.
The bottom line
Holiday homes in Melbourne suit travellers who want space, self-catering flexibility, and a local neighbourhood feel. They are ideal for families, groups, and those planning longer stays. If you prefer the convenience of hotel services or need specific amenities like parking or central locations, browse our other Melbourne pages — such as 'Hotels with parking' or 'Central hotels' — for options that may suit your needs better.
