We had too short a time at Vicki's beautiful place at St. KIlda. It is indeed a little oasis, as other reviewers have rightly said. The place is beautifully appointed. It is very tasefully done, and everything has been considered to make your stay delightful. It is private yet so close to everything, which is an amazing achievement in St. Kilda. The chalet is set back from the street, and is accessed by a little path which soon reveals a small courtyard garden and the chalet itself. It is a very comfortable, clean and quiet place from which to explore and then retreat from the joys of St. KIlda and Melbourne. We loved our time there and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great base in Melbourne. Thank you Vicki, Maureen & Tom.
