Foodie Favourite
Travelling from Perth, we rented this house as our home base while in Melbourne. The location is absolutely perfect for going to the South Melbourne market and the neighbourhood is quaint and quiet. On check in we had a slight delay as a result of the previous guest leaving it in a state. The owner was there to greet us and explain the situation. We dropped off our bags and had a delicious lunch at Clay Pots. He messaged to let us know it was fine to return to the house. Going to my office in the city was a quick 96 tram ride to Southern Cross station. We had dinners and drinks (Fable bar, Dessous, City Wine Bar) and dessert (Brunetti) out in the CBD and it was easy to return home . The house is well appointed, clean and most importantly the temperature neither hot or cold. Considering it is a heritage era house, there were no drafts! I highly recommend this property for a couple who enjoy having everything at your door and we will be back on our next trip to Melbourne

SUITED ME JUST FINE, ONCE I GOT USED TO EVERYTHING
I would stay again as it’s perfect for me and my pooch. Very safe for him as no stairs and small yard, and walking around area felt safe. Home and yard ‘messy’ - could do with a good tidy up, both inside and out. I would liked to have milk available - even a selection of UHT in cupboard. I would have liked some local information. Also, I suggest putting another key in lock box in timber front door, as it closed on me unexpectedly.

Fabulous spot for a quick sneak away
This spot was awesome. 3 stops on the tram to the hassle and bale of town for whatever entertainment you’re chasing and in a quiet leafy part of Melbourne oozing history! This is a great spot to escape to and walking distance to so many restaurants, pubs, cafes and of course the water. The place itself is very well set up with a stunning little courtyard, all the amenities you could need and very roomy bathrooms (fabulous shower - hot and great pressure). The table would be cosy for dining with more than 4 but is certainly comfortable for the beds available. Highly recommend.

Cosy & Pet Friendly
We loved this place from the moment we opened the front door to the old wooden-floored hallway full of old posters and maps. The house is well appointed and has good wifi access. The courtyard was lovely in the sun and the dogs loved it. The best part is the location close to public transport, the markets and local shops, cafes ave restaurants.

South Melbourne stay
We recently stayed five nights. Location is fantastic - we really enjoyed walking to South Melbourne markets and Albert Park shops. The house really suited us as we had our dog with us and she enjoyed sitting out in the courtyard in the sun! Communication with property manager was excellent. We thought we had left something behind and he went looking promptly. check in process very simple. Great to have the parking permit!

Excellent location
The property was in such a great location really close to trams. The street was really quiet with not alot of traffic. Coffee shop 150m up the road, park close by and albert park a short wll away with a mini Woolworths. Some of the cleaning could be a litttle better though. Sheets, towels and bathroom was cleaned well. It was more on closer inspection the clutter and dinning chairs and mats could have been cleaned a little better.

Highly recommended South Melbourne stay.
We really enjoyed our Melbourne stay after a 3 year hiatus due to covid. Your accommodation in South Melbourne was really comfortable with every possible thing we could need provided and more. We just loved the location, the treelined streets and the many lovely parks nearby, especially Albert Park. Restaurants, cafes, market and supermarkets are all in very close proximity. Approx 10 minute drive to Docklands, DFO and Marvel Stadium. We really look forward to returning again same time next year.

Lovely people and dog friendly house in South Melbourne
Loved our time in Chris’s charming house in South Melbourne. Great location to walk to Albert Park shops and check out the amazing houses in the area. Off street parking was handy and plentiful. Beds super comfy and everything we needed provided in the kitchen, not that we cooked because of all the amazing pubs and restaurants nearby. Excellent secure courtyard for our little dog to run around in and a nice place for us to sit in on sunny days. Highly recommend and we would stay here again. Thanks Chris.

Great home base for New Year break
What a fantastic little property. Perfect for us and our dogs. Great location, good sized rooms, great shower (so important!), nice and cool despite the heat, and a convenient enclosed courtyard for the pups. (Agree it needs some weeding though!) Parking permit a nice (and necessary) touch. Dealing with Chris was great, too. Expect we’ll be back!
