The house is really fantastic. It is beautifully appointed, comfortably furnished, and really well located.
The Malvern train station is a few-minute walk, and offers easy access to virtually anywhere in Melbourne. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with shopping and dining options. A great supermarket and enclosed mall (with garage parking) is a five-minute walk away. We couldn't have been more pleased with our two-week stay.
Stunning property! Photos did not do it justice. Impecable elegance, simple sophistication.
I can not speak highly enough of this property, it’s absolutely gorgeous in every way.
We spent 11 days at this property & loved it !! It's a great house, close to all amenities & we appreciated the cleanliness & attention to detail. The host was friendly, responsive & always helpful....
