Travelling with the family can make finding the right accommodation near the airport a little trickier. You need somewhere with enough space for everyone, a spot to prepare a quick meal, and a comfortable place for the kids to relax after a big day of travelling.
Located just minutes from Melbourne Airport, Airport Tourist Village Melbourne (ATVM) offers a range of family-friendly cabins with self-contained facilities and plenty of room to settle in. Perfect for those who are stopping overnight before a flight or staying for a few days to explore Melbourne, our cosy cabins give families more space and flexibility than a standard hotel room.
Why do family cabins make travelling easier?
A family trip doesn’t stop when you arrive at your accommodation. There are bags to unpack, hungry kids to feed and, depending on your flight, an early morning alarm to get everyone moving in time.
Having a little extra space and time can make all that easier. Separate bedrooms, a lounge or dining area, and your own bathroom give everyone room to settle in. Our self-contained facilities mean you don’t have to head out every time someone needs a snack. And with ATVM located so close to the Melbourne Airport, you can enjoy the convenience of not having to rush off in the early hours.
More room for everyone
Trying to fit a whole family into a standard hotel room can get cramped pretty quickly. A modern cabin gives you more room to spread out, with separate sleeping areas and space for bags, meals, and some much-needed downtime.
It’s particularly handy if you’re staying for more than one night. Instead of living out of your suitcases, you can unpack, settle in, and enjoy more of a normal family routine while you explore Melbourne.
Kitchens make family meals easier
Having a kitchen or kitchenette can be a big help when you’re travelling with kids. You can make breakfast before an early flight, prepare a simple dinner after a long day, or keep snacks and drinks on hand without having to find a restaurant every time someone gets hungry (which can get expensive).
Our 2 Bedroom Deluxe Cabin, for example, sleeps up to four guests and includes a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, lounge space, Wi-Fi, and reverse-cycle air conditioning. The 2 Bedroom Standard Cabin also includes a fully equipped kitchen, while the 2 Bedroom Basic Cabin has a kitchenette, dining area, private bathroom, and outdoor patio.
You can explore our self-contained cabin options to find the layout and facilities that suit your family.
Kid-friendly facilities beyond the cabin
It’s not just what’s inside your cabin that matters when you’re travelling with children. Having outdoor areas, a games room, BBQ facilities, laundry access, and shared spaces onsite can make a longer stay much more comfortable and fun. The games room is a clear favourite for kids and gives adults time to relax and unwind, too.
At ATVM, families can enjoy practical facilities that make it easier to settle in and really enjoy your stay. There’s also onsite parking and an airport shuttle service available for guests, with prior booking required.
Choosing the right family cabin
Every family travels a little differently, so the right cabin will depend on the size of your group, how long you’re staying, and how much space you need.
| Family trip | Cabin option | Why it works |
| Small family on a budget | 2 Bedroom Basic Cabin | Separate bedrooms, kitchenette, dining area, and private bathroom. |
| Family staying for a few nights | 2 Bedroom Standard Cabin | More space with a fully equipped kitchen and separate bathroom. |
| Family wanting extra comfort | 2 Bedroom Deluxe Cabin | Fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge space. |
| Larger family or group | 3 or 4 Bedroom Cabin | More bedrooms and space for bigger groups. |
Travelling with a larger family?
If you’re travelling with grandparents, extra children, or a larger group, having enough bedrooms for everyone can make a big difference to your holiday experience.
ATVM has a range of larger accommodation options, including 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom cabins. Some of our family-focused cabins can also accommodate up to six or eight guests, giving larger groups more space to sleep, eat, and relax together in Melbourne.
Our 2 Bedroom Deluxe Family Cabin is another option for families who need extra sleeping capacity and shared living space during the trip.
Family accommodation for more than just holidays
Not every family stay near Melbourne Airport is for a leisurely holiday. You might be visiting Melbourne for a family event, catching an early flight, relocating to the area, or staying nearby while a family member works on a longer project.
That’s where having a self-contained cabin can really come in handy. Kitchens, laundry facilities, parking, and extra living space make it easier to settle in for several nights or even longer, depending on what you need.
And with Melbourne Airport just 5 to 10 minutes away, ATVM gives families a convenient base for getting to the terminal or exploring Melbourne and the surrounding area within a short timeframe. It’s a convenient, cosy, and enjoyable option that takes the stress out of your stay.
