Perfect South Melbourne stay

A week in a perfect traditional property, in an ideal location. Rooms are well appointed. Only two issues which are easily resolved. Parking is on the street, but time controlled by the Council, but we found a few totally unrestricted outside the local church, round the corner. The other issue, as noted by another previous renter, was locking the kitchen door to the rear patio. This was tricky, and would be best fixed.We'd highly recommend this property.

We, loved the house. It was comfortably laid out, had every kitchen device you could want and a lovely private area out back to dine or relax. Chris was a fantastic host, answered all our questions promptly and was very informative about the area. The house is within walking distance of the CBD, the Botanic Gardens, the market and the Ian Potter centre which has outstanding aboriginal art. All in all a perfect place for us. Thank you Chris

Cosy & Pet Friendly

We loved this place from the moment we opened the front door to the old wooden-floored hallway full of old posters and maps. The house is well appointed and has good wifi access. The courtyard was lovely in the sun and the dogs loved it. The best part is the location close to public transport, the markets and local shops, cafes ave restaurants.
