Lovely home

Everything needed was available. The house is very comfortable, with some great little touches provided to increase your welcome. Fabulous garden/outdoor space. The property manager and the owner, were absolutely wonderful to deal with and really went the extra mile to assist my client. I cannot thank them enough.

Relaxing stay.

Bernds house is very comfortable, in a quiet street, and has a large fenced back yard, perfect for dogs. Bernd communicated with us very quickly and was able to resolve any issues we had. We had a lovely relaxing stay, thank you Bernd.

Family and pet friendly

Mid century cottage, nicely appointed. Well equipped kitchen. Massive backyard for the two dogs. Very quiet part of Northern Melbourne, close to Dan Murphys and High Street. Northlands was only moments away. Very easy stay. Thank you kindly for sharing your very cute home.
