Weekend getaway!

Absolutely perfect in every way. Loved that we could walk to the gardens and morning coffee spots. It suited our needs so well, and we enjoyed that we had high quality accommodation even though we had two small poodles. We definitely want a return visit.

Hidden gem in South Yarra

The apartment was perfect. Comfortable,quiet, private, secure and in a great location. Felt like a home with beautiful decor and the large outdoor entertainment area was perfect for relaxing after a busy day. An early checkin and late checkout was appreciated and Vincent was great with his communication.

Very Nice Unit

Loved staying here. The unit was spacious and well equipped. It had everything we needed. The master bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is very safe with a grocery store about 10 minutes walk. We loved the patio area and enjoyed sitting outside in the evening. Easy contact with the owner who answered any questions very quickly.

The perfect place to stay in this leafy part of town. The apartment is elegantly furnished, with thoughtful touches provided by host Vincent. Close to the tram and train, numerous dining options and the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Bonus at this property is your own terraced garden with dappled views.

Perfect Stay!

We had a wonderful stay - close to cafes, shops, gardens and restaurants. Walked everywhere. We had a pram so it was great being close to everything. Yard was spacious and very secure for our dog and inside was clean, cosy and wonderfully decorated. Extra touches with milk & orange juice in the fridge and a late check out. Hosts were great to communicate with, helpful & punctual. It was a great place to base ourselves.

Hidden gem in a lovely suburb

We have stayed in this property a couple of times now and we were not disappointed this time. Its the small things that the owners think of like, lots of spare towels, lots of spare coat hanger, milk and juice in the fridge plenty of coffee and tea, umbrella's and the list goes on. The kitchen is really well stocked and the dishwasher is easy to use and works really well (unlike most rental dishwashers). Its brilliant for the dogs too as they have a secure private garden to run around in. We will continue to stay here when we visit Melbourne as long as they will allow us to.

South Yarra weekend

Beautifully presented property with a private deck and courtyard. Be aware there are some steep steps from street level to the property entry and pack a little lighter than I did. Bed super comfortable but a little cozy for my 6’2” husband to share with my 5’5” frame. Fine once I evicted him to the second bedroom! Great communication and very well set up.
