We had a lovely stay for our sons wedding at Project 3488 which is just a short walk away. It was a very cold weekend but the property has a/c & a wood heater so no problem staying warm. Opposite the yarra river & plenty of walking tracks we will be back again when the weather warms up.

We had a lovely stay at this property- the peace and tranquility was just what the doctor ordered. The house was very comfortable and the fireplace is amazing. Very well laid out and the location was within walking distance to all shops etc. the only small feedback I would give is that it would be great if the spa bath was fixed so the spa operates, but other than that the house is excellent and we would happily stay again.

Loved our stay was nice and close to everything only thing i would say is it could do with some new utensils and dinnerware as quiet a few cups and plates were chipped and the yard could do with a clean up otherwise had a great stay

Beautiful Location for a Weekend Break!

Our family had a fabulous weekend away staying here…it was a quiet, tranquil and spacious house with a fantastic secure garden for our dogs to play without worry of them escaping! The only negative would be that there were areas that could have done with a really good clean but on the whole we would return!

Family time at Christmas

A beautiful old home for catching up with family. Plenty of room, privacy and so close to the centre of town. The towering trees, gardenia bushes encircling the house and the picturesque old home made it a great stay. The choice of 2 very adequate bathrooms and decent sized kitchen was very much appreciated as well as the comfortable bedrooms.Well worth the stay.Thank you .

The perfect space for a family getaway from the city. We very much enjoyed the fireplace, it heated up the whole house! The house is in a great location, very close to the local cafes/restaurants. We loved hearing the Kookaburras in the morning and watching the Rosellas in the trees.

Loved it!

We had a wonderful stay! Such a lovely house and location, perfect for our two families. The property could use a deep clean as windows and skirtings etc were very dusty and dirty. The exhaust fan also needs to be repaired as it was broken. We'd come back for sure.
