Melanie's place is near to everything. We had dinner at South Terrace, visited Rottnest, Fremantle Prison and the Perth Royal Show on that long weekend. We were able to get to the ferry by car, and train station too. Woolworths, Aldi and Reject Shop just up the road. The street was quiet and there was parking for our two cars. There were six of us, and the house accommodated us comfortably. My daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed the outside cottage, and the rest of us had plenty of beds to choose from inside the main house. The single beds (white) were comfortable for two adults. There were fans, and heaters and a nice wood fire if needed. We had a BBQ one evening, and it was fine albeit a bit small. The stove/oven was easy to use once we worked it out. There were plenty of towels. The house is old and interesting! Two bathrooms to the rear of the home, on either side of the laundry which we used to do some washing. There were plenty of games and puzzles if you were bored. We would definitely stay again.
