Enjoyed the property immrnsely!

My second time stay here visiting family. Location can't be beat as it's minutes to the village. The home is very spacious and has the added bonus of off street undercover parking where other places I’ve stayed in the village, I’ve struggled to get a park. The kitchen and open plan living and dining room have just been renovated. Loved the new kitchen with concrete bench tops and Miele appliances, it’s a huge and now a modern and inviting open plan space. The new images online I don’t think do it justice. The huge television screen was an added bonus to watch during my down time. Thanks Louise for being such a gracious host and look forward to staying again when I next come to visit the family.

Our Yaraville stay

We were delighted to stay in this lovely house. The house was clean and fit the 3 of us perfectly. When we come back to Melbourne we will definitely try and stay here again! The location was a short walk into the quaint town of Yaraville and on the main train line into Melbourne. Thank you Louise for a lovely stay and your help in showing us how easy it is to navigate Mebourne. Everything we needed was within walking distance. Perfect spot for a lovely vacation.

Wonderful walkable Neighborhood

The property was clean. A bit on the retro vintage style - ie stove. But we did enjoy a few warm soaks in the large tub after a long day of touring in and around Melbourne. Overall, we loved Melbourne and the little Yarraville village. The house worked out great for us less then 1 mile from family.

Louise is a very gracious host! The property is well equipped and quite large..perfect for four people. In a quiet neighbourhood and within easy walking distance to Yarrowville Main Street and the Metro station. Yarrowville is a quaint little environment with good restaurants and other necessities and only 10 minutes by train to the CBD of Melbourne. We would highly recommend this accommodation!

Nice Place, Great Location, Gracious Host

We thought Yarraville was a great suburb, with a cute little business district just a few blocks away that had multiple restaurants and bars, a couple of grocery stores, a pharmacy and even a movie theater within a five minute walk. It also had a train stop where we could easily ride into downtown Melbourne within about 15 or 20 minutes. Additionally, our host was very accommodating and gracious, who is respectful of your privacy if you wish, but also close by, and easily accessible by phone or text if you have any questions about the place or the area. It's always great to have a resident who is happy to provide local information that you won't get in the guidebooks. The place was very clean and spacious, which was good for us, since I was there with adult kids who enjoy their space at the end of a long travel day. If you're expecting five star furnishings, you might be a bit disappointed because the place shows some signs of age, but all we needed was a working kitchen, separate comfy bedrooms and a good base to travel from. It was great that if we were tired from traveling, we could also just walk three or four blocks, sit down at one of the restaurants or bars, and get a good feel for the local experience. We could also stock up at the grocery and cook in our own kitchen if we wanted, but after enjoying the convenient and pleasant local experience, we mostly ate relaxed breakfasts, lunches and dinners at what Louise calls "the village" . I researched Yarraville before my trip, and it ranks favorably among the many desirable suburbs of Melbourne. Wikipedia indicates that in 2020, Yarraville was named Australia's best suburb, and fifth in the world. That sounds like somewhat of a boast, but we certainly found it to be pleasing to our tastes. I checked the Wiki footnote, and it was done by a guy named James Manning who apparently polled 20,000 city dwellers to determine the "51 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World." Yarraville is not as high in other rankings, but typically in the top quartile of neighborhood real estate ratings of Melbourne's suburbs that I reviewed. I certainly haven't traveled to all of Melbourne's suburbs, but we did drive a rental car throughout some of Melbourne, and Yarraville seemed to compare favorably. Also- and importantly I think- Louise got far more recent and favorable reviews than other places I reviewed. So, all things considered, we were very happy with our stay in Yarraville, the house and the host.

From the moment we arrived it felt like home and that wasn't only due to the homely feel of the property but also to Louise making us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble even though our booking was very last minute, she made sure everything was just so - making our stay a most enjoyable one! Will definitely be back, thanks Louise

Excellent, homely property

We enjoyed our stay at YMH. It's a spacious, clean and well presented property and the manager was a pleasure to deal with. Off street parking was a blessing and a partially stocked kitchen was helpful. We would stay there again if we returned to the area. Yarraville was only a couple of blocks away and was a delightful little village and there was a park for the kids one block away as well.

The house is very spacious and kept in great condition.n The house had everything you needed with plenty of fresh linen and bedding. Being 10 minutes out of the city it's great to use as a base to see the city or the rest of melbourne with plenty of information on local attractions provided Look forward to staying in the future.

Highly recommend this property. Really good value as you get a great big house in a prime Village spot. I was shocked at how big the house actually was. The images on the website give you no idea of the size of the property. This was a terrific bonus for our family of 6 and we all spread out very comfortably. The two sleeping on the sofa bed were very happy as mattress was extremely comfortable. Fantastic location in walking distance to the Village & train station. We have local family nearby and have now found the best value accommodation in Yarraville. Thanks Louise - we will be back soon.

We stayed at YMH from 27.11.10 to 5.12.10 and found it to be a very welcoming, comfortable and relaxing house. Louise was extremely helpful in her advice and directions. It's location was a leisurely walk to the village which abounded with a full range of restaurants through to takeaways and delectable cafes with excellent coffee. The shops were quaint selling a full range of products. It made for a relaxing holiday. Of particular interest was the excellent movie theatre. As we didn't have a car we travelled by train into the city daily (a short 15 minute walk to the train station from YMH)and made full use of the weekly pass for trains, trams and buses. We came back to Auckland feeling that we had experienced a slice of suburban Melbourne which we otherwise would not have done had we stayed in the CBD.

About the host

Hosted by Louise

I have lived in Yarraville Village for over 15 years. A former Director of Marketing for a large construction firm, I was drawn to quaint Yarraville with its rich history, Victorian architecture and quaint Village feel years ago. I would never move.... this inner city suburb has everything one could ever want. Just like a country town with its unique Village vibe. Yarravillian's ooze friendliness and pride in their little patch of inner West and when you leave.... you will too

Why they chose this property

Great location within walking distance of all the Village has to offer, very large and well proportioned rooms, spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area that is flooded with plenty of natural light.

Separate desk and office chair if you are here to work.

Well equipped with all you need to cook up a storm, lots of crockery, cookware and cutlery. So Christmas lunch is covered. Safe and quiet street where all the neighbours know each other and are friendly.

A great value homely and comfortable stay in the heart of the Village and just 6km by car to Melbourne CBD.

What makes this property unique

At the rear of Your Melbourne House is a fully self contained and separate 1 bedroom apartment. This apartment has only just been listed on HomeAway for rent.

Called Your Melbourne House Rear Apartment (YMHRA) listing ID 9740504, it has exclusive use of a large grassed back yard with outdoor furniture, sun umbrella and BBQ.

If you are a group of more than 4 guests or two families, booking both YMH and the rear apartment YMHRA gives you use of the entire property including rear yard. Ideal for large family groups coming to visit from overseas or interstate as you are accommodated in two separate residences on the one property.

Please message and advise me when making your initial enquiry if you wish to book both properties at once so I am aware and can co-ordinate the smooth booking of both properties at once.
