A wonderful Victorian house for our extended family to stay for a wedding - it was really top tier. The 5 bedrooms allowed us all to spread out; the large dining area was great; there was plentiful glassware (in a fabulous cabinet) and dishes. Comfy beds, linens and lots of towels. The downstairs bath is huge with a nice tub. Couldn't be more satisfied!

We survived fine without any cars. It is about 600 meters to three different grocery (and wine) stores. The West Richmond train on Highett takes you downtown quickly (just pick up a myki train/tram card). The 78 tram comes right down Church street, and connects to other trams (we used that to get to the Botanical Gardens) but is slower than walking during rush hour! I'd recommend always taking the train to/from city center, then ride the trams from there.
