Close to the lake, this smoke-free vacation home brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 24-minute drive to Flemington Racecourse or the 24-minute drive to Royal Melbourne Showgrounds (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the garden and enjoy the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

A sitting area, a dining area, air conditioning, and a desk are featured at this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer and towels. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a freezer, as well as an electric kettle, a microwave, and cookware. And there's a washer/dryer, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
