A wonderful experience in an absolutely gorgeous house! The location is perfect- only a short walk to the shops and quick trip into the city centre.
Kate was a great host who responded to all inquiries quickly and kindly. Would not hesitate at all to stay here again next time I’m in Melbourne.
Kate was great to deal with and was always able to respond to queries quickly. We appreciate her going above and beyond to assist us in our situation.

About the host
Hosted by Kate Tonkin
I'm a working mum of 2 little boys, part-time student and native Melbournian! Please let me know if you need any ideas as to how to spend your time in Melbourne (including where our best local eateries and cafes are!). I love travel (though am somewhat hampered in this respect at the moment with the 2 rug rats), and I have lived overseas (in England, France, Germany and Greece) for the best part of a decade. I have also travelled extensively throughout Europe, South America and Asia. Whether you're an Aussie or international traveller, my husband Alex and I would love to welcome you to this little slice of paradise :)
Guests can contact me at any time before or during their stay with any questions, and I'll aim to respond within an hour. Guests will be provided with a pin code for the front door.
