Host was extremely responsive…the place had character…something I was wishing for… it was quiet even if it’s located on busy flemington road…Trams were located very near and ultra convenient! I give it 5 stars
I have stayed at Mooranda House a number of times over the years and it never disappoints. It’s so comfortable and welcoming and the hosts can’t do enough to ensure you have a wonder stay.
Well set up - comfortable beds - quality linen - handy to tram stops for access to city - lovely park & cafes within easy walk.
Mel was very easy to deal with - would definitely stay again.
The house was just beautiful, had everything we needed, plenty of space for us all. The warmth and feeling of a place makes you feel at home and this house did that for us. As for getting around Melbourne, tram and train stops were just up the road in walking distance which worked out really well. Definitely will keep in mind for when we plan to visit Melbourne again in the future.
Mooranda was a lovely surprise. Tucked away in Parkville right on the tram line and at a busy intersection, the house was remarkably quiet and had everything that you might need for a short stay in busy Melbourne. Parklands, a small supermarket with liquor shop were close by so that you could stay in or catch the tram into the city and dine out accordingly. Most certainly I would stay here again.
Mooranda served us very well as a base in Melbourne for a few days. Mel the property owner was very responsive to any queries we had. The house was comfortable although a little tired and even though it is on a main road the noise was barely audible from the house. It was very convenient for getting the tram into town. Overall a very good value stay.
This home was very convenient for us. Great access to the train and tram. The beds were comfortable. Heating made the home comfortable. Whilst located on a busy road the noice transfer was minimal. The kitchen was well appointed and catered to our needs. We would definitely stay here again.

Generally satisfied
Property is located next to very busy road so front bedroom occupants will be affected. Location is perfect for transport links however if you prefer to walk, there are no restaurants or bars close by.
Good size property best suited to families. Cleaning needs to be improved but mostly around dusting.
Mel the host was easy to contact and was very accommodating.
Great location with trams on your doorstep and zoo in a 15 minute walk. House is located on a very busy street so parking is around the corner, including Ubers-not a big deal though.
The end bedroom is just a sliding door off the kitchen/dining room so not overly private or quiet.
House could do with a good deep clean but rough enough
Nice outdoor area unfortunately not utilised to its full potential as outdoor seating is old and uncomfortable.
Overall would recommend to stay if your looking for something easy and accessible
The accommodation fitted us as a Family of 4 (2 Adults and two Teenagers) perfectly. Everything provided - most comfortable and tidy. The location close to the city was a big plus - with direct access to trams making getting around very easy.
Had a great time in Melbourne, emphasised by this excellent accommodation. Host was wonderful and prompt with any communications. Close to city and tram across the road. Will be back.
Thanks to Mel for a very efficient, easy process from first enquiry to check out. We loved having a space to relax in or lock and leave for the day. Maroonda is a beautifully appointed home near the city centre with excellent access to trams, trains, groceries, Royal Park, and on the right side of the city for trips out to the Yarra Valley.
What a wonderful experience for our family of 5. Easy check in and check out process no fuss, photos do not do this accomodation justice it was exquisite. Location is perfect with multiple tram stops near and as always nothing short to do in Melbourne. Thanks for the stay we will be back! Don’t hesitate to book.
We couldn’t recommend this host more highly, what an absolutely lovely experience. The house is divine & really central to any city adventure. The great communication with the host made everything even more enjoyable as we felt so so welcomed from the beginning.
