Shirley’s townhouse is cosy and very well equipped. She has thought of every little thing a traveller would need to make you feel at home. All the small details make a huge difference when you are traveling.
Upon arrival we were welcomed with chocolates and wine as well as the fridge full of food to make a meal which was greatly appreciated as we arrived late on our first night and didn’t make it to the shops. She kindly provided milk, eggs, bread, butter, crumpets and salad as well as a bowl of fruit and a well stocked pantry. My kids particularly enjoyed the hot chocolate and marshmallows!
It was a bonus having a well equipped kitchen so that we had the option to cook.
Shirley is a fantastic host who made our stay so warm and welcoming by going beyond expectations for example she offered to help us to dry our laundry and regularly checked to see if we needed anything or more help. She provided umbrellas as I didn’t bring one. She was very considerate and went well beyond what I expected.
We really appreciated her incredible thoughtfulness and kind gestures.
The beds were comfortable with plenty of soft blankets and the house was warm (it was winter).
There was plenty of hot water for showers and she provided an array of toiletries in case you forgot something.
The living and dining area is comfortable and there were dvds and games available.
The house is beautifully decorated and homely as well as secure and safe.
It’s a great location with easy access to everything including shops, cafes, the river, Kings Park as well a nearby bus stop with regular buses into the city.
I couldn’t recommend staying here more!
