My son and I stayed with Barbara for just over two weeks while we tried to find a new home in Melbourne. Barbara's Garden Bungalow was a haven. Upon arrival we found we had some essentials provided for us; bread, milk, eggs, fruit. Very thoughtful. The bungalow is spacious, very clean and quite private. The garden is a treat and Barbara is truly lovely. We were warmly welcomed and felt like part of the family. Barbara was always completely approachable and has a wealth of local knowledge. The suburb of Parkdale is a quiet residential area and this accommodation is a very convenient leisurely 5 minute walk to the train (which we didn't wait any longer than 7 minutes for!), local shops and cafes and at most a 10 minute walk to the beach. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for everything Barbara your support was very much appreciated. Oh and hugs to the gorgeous Henry!
