Thank you for your Guest Review. We’re so pleased you enjoyed our excellent location. It’s great to know it helped make your stay in our comfortable and spacious house even more enjoyable.
This is truly excellent accommodation for my stay in Melbourne. 2 street's walking distance to my 91 yo Dad's place, 5 minutes to the train station, good selection of local restaurants and a 7/11. The host has put a lot of thought into what is needed in a home away from home and really all you have to do is bring your clothes. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, glad to hear that everything that we provide was well received. We look forward having you stay with us again soon.
Thank you Katie! We loved our stay. Lovely and clean, everything we needed. Great cafe recommendations. Made being away with the kids a breeze. I particularly loved the parking.
We had a great stay at Gardenvale cottages. Everything was super clean and tidy and it had everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The kids loved playing with the toys and the special surprise that was left for them.
There is a really great coffee shop just a few doors down which is very handy and the local shops and supermarkets are only a few minutes away.
