About the host
Hosted by Jerome
"Hey wonderful guests and potential partners in the grand adventure of life! 🌏✨
Hosting for me is like conducting a symphony of diverse stories, laughter, and shared experiences. It's not just about providing a place to stay; it's about creating a canvas where your journey becomes a masterpiece painted with moments of joy, connection, and discovery.
My journey, from the kitchens of France to the vibrant heartbeat of Melbourne, has been a rollercoaster of flavors, challenges, and incredible connections. In the past 9 years, amidst the aromatic embrace of Melbourne's coffee culture, I've not only managed the chaos of a thriving city but also navigated the delightful chaos of being a single parent to an 8-year-old dynamo.
Born in France, my culinary escapades have taken me from traditional restaurants to high-end bistros, resorts, cruise ships, yachts, airlines, private airports – you name it, I've whipped up a dish there! But my love for hosting goes beyond the culinary realm; it's about curating moments that linger in your memory.
2020 nudged me into a new chapter, and Erica Escape was born. A haven crafted during endless lockdowns and fueled by a blend of caffeine and inspiration, it's not just a BnB retreat – it's a pledge to Mother Nature. By 2025, I aim to transform it into a carbon-zero haven, and every booking you make contributes to this eco-friendly mission.
Hosting is my passion because it's a chance to weave your stories into the vibrant tapestry of Erica Escape. It's an opportunity to share not just a space but a piece of my journey, offering you not just accommodation but a warm, inviting home away from home.
So here's to 2024, embracing it with arms wide open, ready for new challenges, adventures, and the joy of hosting incredible souls. If you've got something exciting cooking up, let's chat! 🍳🚀"

Why they chose this property
"Why Erica, you ask? Well, let me take you on a journey through my global escapades – from the romantic kitchens of France to the pristine shores of Bora Bora, and yes, even the chaotic buzz of Melbourne. I've sailed on ships, soared through the skies in planes, navigated city landscapes, and frankly, life was a symphony of adventures.
But then 2020 rolled around, and as the world hit pause, I heard a calling. A call for nature, tranquility, and a break from the hustle and bustle. Enter Erica – a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the forest, where the locals welcome you with open arms.
Picture this: escaping the monotony of Melbourne, diving into the embrace of nature, yet staying connected to the village life with a charming pub and café nearby. Hiking trails weaving through the wilderness, a river just 20 minutes away for impromptu swims, and in winter, only a short 30 minutes from the snow-capped wonderland.
The pandemic turned out to be the unexpected push I needed. Erica is not just a destination; it's my haven, where I can breathe in the crisp forest air, dance in the rain, and rediscover the simple joys of life. So, why Erica? Because sometimes, you've got to answer the call of nature and create your own paradise in the middle of it all. 🌲✨"
