Rye·Sorrento·Blairgowrie·5.0 guest rating
Your next vacation will feel right at home. Thoughtfully curated holiday houses on the Mornington Peninsula, backed by real, round-the-clock guest care.
Our story
Homezy began with a simple frustration: too many holiday rentals look nothing like their photos, and too many hosts go quiet the moment you need them. We set out to build the opposite — a small, hand-picked portfolio of homes across Rye and the Mornington Peninsula, each one personally styled, maintained, and checked between every stay.
We're not a marketplace, and we're not a big-box property manager running hundreds of listings on autopilot. Every Homezy property is chosen because we'd genuinely want to stay there ourselves — real fireplaces, real garden space, real thought put into the linen and the little touches waiting for you on arrival.
What makes us different is what happens after you book. Our guest communication team is on call around the clock, pre-trip planning guides are sent well ahead of your stay, and check-in is designed to be completely hassle-free — no front desk, no waiting around, just a code, a welcome message, and a home that's ready for you.
Feel at home. Your next vacation will feel right at home.

Detailed guides sent ahead of your stay help you plan the perfect getaway before you've even arrived.

Meet the team
Host & Property Manager
Ben has spent the last decade splitting his time between Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, and started Homezy after one too many disappointing holiday rentals of his own. What began with a single cottage in Rye has grown into a small, tightly curated portfolio of homes — each one personally chosen, styled, and maintained rather than bought off a spreadsheet.
His philosophy is simple: a holiday home should feel like an extension of your own, not a hotel room with a kitchen. That means real thought goes into the linen, the coffee on the counter, and the local recommendations left on the fridge — not just the photos on the listing. Ben still visits every property between stays, and every guest message goes through a team that actually knows the houses, not a call centre.
When he's not answering guest messages, you'll usually find him walking the beach at Rye with his own two dogs, scouting the next property to bring into the Homezy family.
Guest stories
Verified reviews from real Homezy guests.
“We went away with two families and this place was perfect. Loads of space to spread out, a swim spa the kids didn't want to leave, and the fire pit made for the best nights. Communication before and during our stay was fast and friendly — every question was answered within minutes. We're already planning our next trip back.”

FAQ
Can't find what you're after? Send us a message and we'll get back to you personally.
We ask for 25% of the total reservation cost at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due 14 days prior to check-in. For bookings made within 14 days of arrival, full payment is required upfront.
Rather than taking a physical bond, we place an authorization hold on your card shortly before check-in. If there's no damage or excess cleaning required, the hold is released automatically after your stay — no paperwork needed.
Yes. Cancellations made 14 or more days before check-in receive a full refund. Cancellations inside 14 days are assessed case by case, and we'll always work with you where we can.
Often, yes — it depends on the property's schedule around your stay. Reach out closer to your check-in date and we'll do our best to accommodate an earlier arrival or later departure at no extra cost.
Most of our properties are pet friendly — look for the pet-friendly badge on each listing. Let us know when you enquire so we can match you with the right home and share any pet-specific house rules.
Every guest receives a check-in guide by message ahead of arrival with a door code, parking details, and Wi-Fi information. There's no key exchange or front desk — you let yourself in and start your holiday straight away.
Our guest communication line is monitored around the clock. Whether it's a question about the appliances or something needs attention, message us any time and we'll respond quickly and sort it out.
