Cosy house with character

Cosy and comfortable, felt like home, with books, paintings on the walls, and pretty little garden both front and back. Really nice to come back to after a day out.

Great Place, great location and a wonderful host

This property is located in a quiet street but still so close to trams, cafes and places to eat. The property is much larger/spacious then it appears online and super clean. The place is of a vintage age but everything works just fine. Janine is a wonderful host and couldn’t do enough to ensure our stay was great (which it was). Hope to be back again soon.

Our family of five had a fantastic stay at Janine's St Kilda Cottage. Janine was an exceptional host, attentive, warm, and always ready to help with anything we needed. She made us feel so welcome and ensured our stay was comfortable from start to finish.The space was ideal for our family: spacious, clean, and equipped with everything we needed. The location was also very convenient, making it easy for us to explore Melbourne/St Kilda without any hassle (Walking distance from the beach and Luna Park was a hit!).We all wished we could have stayed longer! If you’re travelling with family and looking for a comfortable, well-located place with a host who truly cares, this is the perfect choice. We’d love to return someday! Highly recommended!

I have NEVER posted a review on any thing before this however I feel that the holiday we had in Melbourne based around St Kilda cottage was so impressive I had to sing the praises of Jeanine and her Cottage.We were met and introduced to the cottage by a very pleasant and accomodating host (she actually offered to drive us to locations in melbourne!!!!). Jeanine had organised hampers for breakfast including 1Kg of bacon, freshly laid eggs (from the back yard chooks) tomatoes, real coffee, cereals, breads (two loaves, 4 litres of two types of milk etc etc. She had also organised Xmas hampers of plum puddings, BIG bon bons, chocolates, a Xmas tree and heaps more trappings. On top of that was a bottle of red and a bottle of champagne. The kitchen pantry had enough staples in it to keep my family well supplied for at least a week. Unbelievable!!The cottage it self was cute and very comfortable. It was cool in 39 degree heat and warm enough when the temp dropped to 24 degree days over the Xmas period.We hosted a dinner party with nine people quite easily( all invitees enjoyed the cottage as well).The location to both St Kilda Ackland street and St Kilda road for tram access is incredibly easy.I would have no hesitation in staying there again with my family.I would happily post my contact details for recommendations but I'm wary of identity fraud. Believe me when i say the place is great for a family vacation.

We wanted to move in and live there forever! The house is much bigger than it appears on the website, "cottage" is such an understatement - a warm, gracious old building, beautifully appointed, and lovely back yard. Janine was a treasure, so generous and hospitable.

What a wonderful place to stay! My husband and I have 3 kids under four and it was just the perfect place to stay with little kids. Janine has books, toys and a good sized back yard to run around in. We were only a short walk to all the shops we needed and the St Kilda Botanical Gardens. A great location.The house was set up with everthing we needed from a cot and highchair to a range of goodies in the cupdoards and fridge and the wonderful fresh eggs. Janine was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. We will certainly be going back!
