Cute and spotless.

Communication with the owners was excellent. Check-in instructions very good and so easy to understand with pics and all. Locality to the beach is across the road - however there are many steps to get down there and wouldn’t suite all. Area was very quite and be mindful you will need to drive to go get breakfast or even a coffee. A car is essential. Property was small however for 2 people using it as a base it’s fine. Bed was very comfortable with spotless linen and everything extremely clean. Keep in mind this is more of a hotel room without a full kitchen- mini fridge and kettle and toaster provided. The only complaint was the paper thin walls. Overall a great little place. Thank you.

Ample space for 2 though stretching it for 4. Sink in the kitchen would have been nice rather than in the bathroom. Good location.

Exactly what i was hoping for

I had the pleasure of staying here last weekend because i came back to Melbourne for my 30 year school reunion. It was absolutely perfect for what i needed as i only came on my own. I was surprised with a lovely note and a welcome basket of goodies (bread, cereal, biscuits etc). i will definately stay here again.

Great Studio room!

room was modern, well maintained and well equipped. the bathroom was renovated as well so it was in great condition. the owners were very responsive during our stay with any questions that we had, and the location was great literally a few hundred meters from the beach. the room had separate access from the shared parking area. the only thing that i noticed it that the room itself did not have very good soundproofing. we could hear footsteps from the upstairs level and people talking and the tv from the adjacent room. besides this we enjoyed our stay very much!
