From the personalised welcome sign on the table when we arrived to the minute we left, Antarcia and her husband made us feel so welcome during our long stay at the property.

She did everything possible to ensure we had everything we needed and often let us know what was going on locally like the farmer's market in the nearby park, or a twilight concert in another nearby park, so we didn't miss out. She lent us toys for our kids and was very accommodating to any requests.

We stayed for 1 month and it truly felt like our home by the time we left! The back garden is such a wonderful space for the kids with the trampoline, sand pit and play area with slide.

We loved feeding the chooks every day and letting the out for a stretch of the legs. It will take some getting used to not having fresh eggs on demand!

The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is very clean and well equipped. It is 10-15 min walk to the train station or 5 min to the bus. It's in a lovely residential area, very safe and full of families. There are numerous parks nearby with playgrounds. The house is within walking distance to many suburbs Essendon and Essendon North and Aberfeldie. Essendon North is about 10 mins walk and is full of supermarkets, deli's, butchers, bakeries, cafes, pharmacies, banks, take aways and pubs - basically everything you need! And is 5 mins to the motorways.

It is about 15-20 mins drive to the CBD or 20 mins by train. The airport is also very accessible as its close to the motorway.

Compared to the other properties available at the time we searched, this property is exceptional value for a truly memorable stay.
