A short distance from swimming, winery tours, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Melbourne Cricket Ground or the 19-minute drive to Queen Victoria Market (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the balcony or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the flat-screen TV (first-run movies available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment.

A living room, a dining area, a gas grill, and a fireplace are featured at this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a deep soaking tub and a hydromassage showerhead, along with a hair dryer, free toiletries, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a lobster pot, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washer/dryer.
