We had a fantastic week at Queen Bea. The house was immaculately presented, and very light and airy, and full of thoughtful touches for the traveller:
- Sharp knives (thank you!)
- Some basic items in the fridge: milk, orange juice, eggs, bread, butter…
- Other handy stuff: washing powder, global power adapters, children's cutlery, Myki public transport cards.
… Everything we needed was easy to find.

The location is great; far enough from the city to be peaceful, but close enough to be easily accessible. 15–20 minutes on the train and 30 on the tram. If you wanted to walk into town it would take you a while but you'd pass through some of Melbourne's finest neighbourhoods with great coffee, food, bars/pubs, thrift/gift stores, and street art: Northcote, Fitzroy, Collingwood, Carlton.

You couldn't go wrong with this place. It even had ripe figs on the giant tree in the backyard!
