"This is my third visit and it is in such a great spot for when I come to Melbourne for work with public transport into the city. It is a consistently great experience, I highly recommend to other travellers." (Adam - June 2017)
"Absolutely gorgeous house! It felt like a home away from home, still so central to restaurants, shops and very close to the city. It was made easy by the quick check in and check out and even by the little bits and pieces Karina supplied - the breakfast ! Would definitely recommend to friends and family and will be staying here in the future!" (Melissa - June 2017)
"This beautiful house is in an awesome location …..Getting around by tram was so easy - just at the end of the street. The house was beautiful, very comfortable living space, great kitchen and fantastic outdoor living areas. The beds were very comfortable, the linen luxurious and most importantly very quiet rooms. The provisions and treats were much appreciated and having such a fabulous place to stay made our trip. I would definitely recommend this house and I plan to return! Thank you so much for providing such a great place plus making the whole experience so easy." (Celina - May 2017)
"… an absolutely beautiful home-away-from-home …. It's spacious, quiet and spotless. Karina had the fridge stocked with fresh fruit, milk, chocolates, breakfast options and so much more on offer. It's also super close to trains and trams. The whole process was seamless, and communication was great. We will definitely book this place again when friends visit Melbourne." (Jo - May 2017)

Fantastic guests who were responsive and respectful. Welcome back anytime.
Amazing location! Short walk to tram stop and train station. A 15 walk to High Street Northcote which has a wonderful selection of cafes, bars and shops. House was a lovely single front hertiage cottage tastefully renovated. My niece and I really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying again next time we are in Melbourne.

Hi Lucy, thank you for staying. Glad you enjoyed our home and location.
We don’t provide nor do we advertise that breakfast is included. Sorry for any confusion,
We are pleased to offer complimentary breakfast starters to help our guests settle in (milk, tea, coffee, cereal, condiments etc). We know some people prefer to experience the great neighbour cafes, so to avoid waste we keep it to the essentials.
Lots of extras and beautiful touches included in a relaxing home environment. Quiet location yet close to public transport and main road artery. Great communication.

Thank you for being great guests. Delighted you enjoyed your stay, and the location.
I’ve stayed at more than my fair share of private rentals, and even had my own listing for a couple of years (with an unblemished 5.0/5.0 rating!). This property, however, takes the cake hands-down. Aside from the natural location which couldn’t be beat, so much thought has gone into its setup and management that I don’t know where to start. Just book it and find out yourself!

Delighted you enjoyed your stay in our home, the location and ammenities.
A wonderful stay in a welcoming, beautifully furnished, clean, and comfortable home away from home, complete with fresh flowers, well stocked pantry and even an umbrella if it rains.
Great location. Short walk to High St, and either tram line 11 or 86. Myki cards available from pharmacy on High St, Westgarth. Could not ask for more for the perfect place to stay when visiting Melbourne.

This house was lovely. All necessities were included along with some further touches showing that the host had really thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. For us the location was perfect as were wanted to be near family. We plan to return.
Fantastic location and great sized home. Very good beds. Has all the extras you could want including lovely breakfast provisions, and many other thoughtful touches. Only addition would be some comfy furniture in the back rooms.
Would definitely stay here again.

Jennifer thank you for staying. Glad you enjoyed our home.
With two living areas we have left the big comfy couch for the main lounge, and a snuggly reading chair for the back area and study.
This house is very nice. The patio was very appreciated and it is covered for the rainy days...
