Family-friendly holiday rentals in Rural City of Wangaratta

Amazing place, amazing hosts. Been staying at Merrijig for many years and this is one of the best homes we’ve stayed in. Kind hosts with complementary food and drinks that were left for us at check-in. Very strongly recommend.

Beautiful place to stop to break up a long drive. The sunset was lovely. We would visit again.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Fiona & Lar’s Merlewood. Our accommodation was spotless, & very cosy. The roomy cottage was surrounded by beautiful peaceful Australian countryside. Bed was incredibly comfortable and large. Nights were spent cooking a meal, followed by a spa one night, and movie. Mornings were enjoyed taking in the beautiful sun filled view from every room after opening the blinds. Followed by a walk up the back hill, a sit on the deck, a sight seeing by car to Alexandra for lunch at the large cafe there, and enjoyed hiring a kayak at Jerusalem Creek to paddle around Eildon weir. Another day we drove to Yarck and purchased some essential oiled natural skin products at DINDI. There was also Op shop visits in Alexandra & Yea where we found a couple of bargains. This is the perfect place for a couple to unwind, & take in the scenery & tranquility, and use as a base to explore the region. Thanks Fiona & Lars making this lovely stay possible.

John and Anne's property is beautiful with an abundance of birds. We felt much happier staying in Harrietville over Bright and the bigger towns in the area. A fantastic base to head off and explore the Alpine.

my family and i had a good memory in this cozy cottage!

Lovely setting in tranquil surrounds. Great communication. Ideal set up for large groups. Thanks for sharing this lovely house.

An excellent location which suits the needs for large groups of people - everyone was able to have their own space across the three floors while also meeting in comfortable communal spaces to hang out together. A great space with a lot of personality and a very responsive team - we lost power during the stay and the Bright Escapes Team was very quick to answer our queries and link to resources to help us out. A short distance from the town made getting around and engaging in what Bright has to offer very easy, but if you're walking or riding be aware that there are two very big hills leading in and out of the property. Would definitely stay there again, a great space for a holiday.

The unit was clean as recently been updated, with everything you need and close locations to shops and easy access to everything.

How’s the serenity? Says it all. Not only an Aussie icon movie, the house lives up to it. The Doon has been a favourite destination for decades and the Castle has been a part of it. The lake is always spectacular whether it be sunrise or sunset, on a wooden deck, with a beer, some music. Absolute perfection !! The Doon Hotel will always be a favourite!! Thank you. Suffer in your jocks! We’ll be back!!

From the moment we arrived Belinda made us feel welcome and at home. Nine Mile House is situated in a great location which is only a short drive to any town. The house is very well equipped and was stocked with snacks, and breakfast essentials which took the stress out of finding the local shops upon arrival. Being dog friendly is a big plus for us as well. Would recommend a stay at Belinda’s Nine Mile House any time of year.

Nicole’s property is easy to find, well presented and with all essentials provided. Kids had great time with the toys. Comms were really good, she kept us informed at all times. We stayed at her property for one night on our return to Melbourne. Highly recommended her place! Will definitely book next time when visiting Albury. Thank you for hosting us.

Nice old home. Lovely furnishings.

Imagine a charming countryside retreat designed for a small family, nestled in lush greenery with a beautiful garden as its centerpiece. This tranquil escape offers a cozy cottage or tiny house surrounded by vibrant flowers, fruit trees, and winding pathways. A private yard provides space for children to play, while a secluded patio invites relaxation with morning coffee or evening stargazing. We enjoied our stay with our grand kids last week ends. Thank you Barbara , will be back again.

My friends and I had a great stay at Sarah’s place. The house is massive and comfortably fits a large group. The views were lovely and Sarah was great to communicate with.

Our stay at Moyhu was lovely, Juliana is an amazing host and nothing was too much trouble. The accommodation itself is beautiful, comfy bed, gorgeous styling and we fell in love with the feature tiles! It was very tastefully decorated and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Our pup was welcomed as much as we were, and she loved watching (and barking at!) the neighbouring cows. We highly recommend staying here with Jules, and we'll definitely stay again!

Charmaine’s place was perfect, she let us have early check in and late check out! She was super flexible with letting the in laws stay last minute, due to a personal concern. Charmaine was super easy to communicate with. Great location & clean property

I had the loveliest and most relaxing stay at Jamie + Peter’s place. Sadly, I was very unwell during my stay, however, it is the most relaxing place to unwind, rest and recover. Everything is so clean, beautifully curated, and very cozy - the bed is super comfy. The eggs from their hen and the bread/milk they left for me was life saving as it meant I didn’t have to go out if I didn’t want to! Jamie was so lovely and making sure I was okay and if I needed anything, and is such a lovely human - which I didn’t get to see Peter much but I’m sure he’s the same. Djinni, their dog, is also gorgeous and so sweet. While my stay was short, it’s definitely one of the best airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at in terms of the beauty of the property and also the care of the hosts. I’ll be back again for sure ☺️

We had a truly wonderful one-night stay at this peaceful farm cottage. Even though it was a short visit, it gave us the perfect break to unwind and reconnect with nature. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. We especially loved spending the evening by the outdoor firepit, it was such a beautiful spot to relax, and we were lucky to share it with Max, the sweetest dog. He’s such a gentle soul and he made us smile every time we saw him. We also enjoyed a lovely walk through the paddocks and got to meet some of the animals. Tab, the host, has clearly put a lot of care into creating a space that feels both comfortable and inviting. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and it really made the cottage feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, heartwarming escape even just for a night!

We had a wonderful time at this place and it was close to the John McEwen Fields where we played our sporting tournament. Wonderful Home with everything you could ever need.

Such a lovely, relaxing place to spend a weekend catching up with friends! The house was beautiful with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds.

We stayed here for the weekend while attending a wedding nearby. It was perfect for a few couples to stay together, lots of space, great amenities and the pool was lovely.

Lovely place in a gorgeous setting. The sunsets and sunrises over the hills were amazing. It had everything we needed and more - comfy beds, deck with a view and the kids even braved the pool and enjoyed watching the kangaroos and alpacas.

We had one of the best holidays we have had in Victoria in this beautiful house and even better surrounds. Bright in Autumn couldn’t be prettier and Linda’s home was perfect for my husband and I, the kids and my parents in every way. We relaxed, ate amazing food, slept peacefully, shopped, biked, hiked, toasted marshmallows, swam, laughed a lot and just can’t wait to come back.

This was a beautifully presented property and was as described. The property was large and expansive with excellent facilities. We were very comfortable and all our needs were met.
