Overall a very pleasant stay. Jane's place in Warrandyte has a lovely homely touch. The house is big, two floors, has two big balconies and has two fires places, also heaters so we were warm in a Melbourne winter. The house is located in a part of Warrandyte that hasn't changed since the 70's and that's it's charm. It's off a dirt road and nestled in plenty of nature, close to the Yarra River. One day three King Parrots flew up and sat on the balcony railing to say hello.
You definitely need a car if you stay here. We did lots of driving as we were visiting family and friends, which we were prepared for. Jane's place is suitable for kids, as there's a play kitchen outside, a cubby house and a playground down the road. There is also an amazing new playground in Eltham only ten minute drive away. Our kids (5 and 3 years) loved all the extra toys Jane left out. There is also two lovely cafes in Eltham 'Second Home' and also 'Lily's' or in Warrandyte 'Olivigna' that you can be sure to find delicious food. Also it's not too far away from the Yarra Valley.
Lastly Jane was kind easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend Jane's place.
