About the host

Hosted by Ian

Host profile image
I love travel, people and where we live in Kensington, Victoria. I have lived in Malawi for many years and appreciate people and their cultures. I speak two languages, written two bilingual dictionaries, teach Intercultural Studies and pastor a church part-time. My wife and I enjoy hiking and biking, especially along the Maribyrnong River and I love to snow ski when I get a chance.

Why they chose this property

We love that Kensington is close to the CBD and public transport, but also close to the beautiful JJ Holland Park and the Maribyrnong River which is a beautiful place to walk and run.

What makes this property unique

Our guest reviews speak for us. Comfortable, spotless accommodation in fabulous location, close to the CBD and within easy walking distance from the Metro.
