Family Weekend
Once again our stay was relaxing and hassle free. Narre Haven is like a home away from home and the thoughtful gifts were a welcome surprise. Everything was spotless and it was a joy to stay at Narre Haven. Close to major shopping centers and our son and his family. We had a magnificent time. Our 3 year old grandson especially loved the fruit trees. Thank you Minette for making us feel so welcome and allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

We had an absolutely fantastic time. The Unit was immaculate and had everything we needed for the 3 weeks we were there. Very close to our family, parks and major shopping centres. A very safe and quiet neighbourhood. We will definitely be booking again soon.

Bed needs to be replaced
Everything was good except the bed in the master bedroom was super squeaky as soon as you sat on it it made a noise, also tried to use the vacuum to pickup some hair and the suction on it was horrible for the amount being charged you think they’d afford a cheap vacuum at least even for under $100 you can get a decent vacuum

Quiet, clean and comfortable, a home away from home.
We stayed 5 nights while visiting family in the area. The house was spotlessly clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed (including a washing machine, a dryer and clothesline: essentials after several days on the road :) The location is quiet, and we loved the singing of the menu birds. The rooms are large and beautifully furnished. The walk-in wardrobe was a bonus, reducing the usual traveller's clutter of bags and bits. Another bonus is the parking at the front door - takes the ordeal out of packing and unpacking. Thank you Minette!

comfortable and cosy stay at narra haven
We were fortunate to have been able to stay at Narra Haven. We had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Beds and linen were comfy, bathroom was very clean, kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Enjoyed the lemons in the garden. A very thoughtful and generous host who made sure that her guests were comfortable during their stay.

Perfect for family
This little gem was the perfect solution for our homeless segment of relocating from Australia. Although small the house has plenty of furniture, bedding, storage, kitchen appliances/utensils, etc to allow you to have a daily routine even if you’re missing all your own things. The recently renovated bathroom is lovely and the location is perfect for families with kids as the walk to the playground/park is short enough for even little legs. The only watch out is the fact that the house was built on stumps which does result in the house not being the quietest house you can stay in, but the before mentioned conveniences outweigh this. Minette is lovely and very helpful.

Excellent Stay!
Minette provided us with this amazing unit to stay in while our home was being renovated. The property had everything we needed and lots of extras such as shampoo/conditioner, washing and cleaning products as well as a fully functioning dishwasher and citrus trees in the backyard which we loved! The unit is close to a park/playground which was fantastic for our kids. This unit is in a very safe and quiet neighbourhood. Thank you for a wonderful extended stay at Narre Haven.

Major Shops are quite close just a short drive or a half an hour walk at the most. Stay here with confidence as you will not be disappointed . Many Thanks Regards Andrew Beck from Sydney Regards

Brilliant home away from home!
This neat, comfortable townhouse provided the perfect location for our family to enjoy a Christmas away from home, with all the personal touches and conveniences of our regular home. A comprehensive kitchen, complete with a selection of serving dishes, storage containers and cooking condiments made 'living and dining' easy. Personal touches like table linen, coasters, candles, complete selection of laundry and bathroom products were beyond expectation and gratefully received. The private back yard proved a shady and appealing spot for entertaining a small group. Amber Cres, is conveniently located to shopping, rail and the M1. I would not hesitate to recommend this delightful townhouse and hope to use it again in the future.

Exactly as advertised! What a good little spot!
We came up to Melbourne on business and stayed in Thai property for 5 nights. Exactly as advertised on stayz a perfect little spot to lay our heads down in a great location close to all amenities and our work location. Comfortable, clean, tidy, well put together with some great creature comforts (like the heated blanket for that one very cold nighy) that took this place over and above. Would recommend to anyone else looking for such accomodationnin the area.

Fantastic little family home
We as a family of 4 migrated to Melbourne from Scotland and rented this little gem for 4 weeks till we found our long term rental.It had everything we needed to help us settle into our new life in Australia and Minette was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process.We will most definitely be recommending Narre Haven to our friends and family when they come to visit us in the months and years ahead.Thanks again Minette for everything.

My family and I do use the property and love the serenity, peace and quiet that Narre Warren has to offer. The surrounding green hills make for a wonderful view from the front porch.
