We live in Melbourne, but took a 'holiday' over the other side of town - our first break after lockdown. It felt like a real holiday! Mels place is enchanting, the design is elegant and the garden transports you to Bali or Thailand. We felt very welcomed by Mel - and treated like true guests, despite our very last minute booking. From the champagne, chocolates & real coffee, to the freshly made gourmet breakfast - Mel goes above and beyond. The garden is lush, private and a pleasure to spend time in, lit by dramatic lights at night and tranquil and relaxing for morning coffee in the garden pavilion. Taking a candle-lit, scented bath with a view to the bamboo forest was a real highlight.
