Kepler Rose is a beautiful, spacious and clean house. We felt like we were staying in a house from Phryne Fisher’s “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”. Although it was built in the 1930s, it was very well maintained. We enjoyed the simplicity in every room. The kitchen was well equipped, and we were able to cook our breakfasts. The house has a great heating system and it warms up the place quickly. The heated bathroom was a real treat, especially after stepping out of the shower in the morning. The beds were very comfy and there were extra blankets and pillows. We opted to bring our linen and towels but wish we had paid for them instead. When we were staying there, there was heaps of free parking at the back of the house which was really handy during weekdays.
Kepler Rose is located right in the city center surrounded by many cafes, restaurants, pubs and all the big supermarkets and shops. As the days were cold and wet, we managed to visit only a few places and they were close by. Our visit to Flagstaff Maritime Village was enjoyable and we were on time to watch the canon being fired. There is a café next door, an ice creamery opposite and a cinema to the left of the house…all within walking distance.
Our host, Vava, was very friendly and helpful, and responded promptly to all our queries. It was a real pleasure getting to know Vava and being able to spend a few days in her beautiful home with our family of 9 to celebrate my husband’s big birthday. Thank you, Vava!!
