Melanie and Allan were great hosts. Their place has a fantastic bathroom that includes a bathtub that could hold my family of four - 42, 42, 5 and 1. They were able to provide a port-a-cot and a child gate for the stairs at our request, while we didn't use the latter in the end. Although the stairs are steep and we used other means to block them off from the 1 year old.
There were plenty of restaurants and cafes on Elizabeth St just a short walk away. There was a good playground for the kids, maybe 500m, along Argyle St. We even walked from the CBD on one occasion.
A good place to stay with a family and probably even better place if you don't have kids with you.
