On our arrival we were greeted by our warm and friendly host Janine who made us all feel very welcome.The cottage was exactly as it presented in the photos and we instantly felt the beautiful old charm of the cottage ,we were all made to feel very at home.Beautiful cut flowers from the cottage garden were displayed in every room adding to the homely cottage charm. The rooms were all very inviting and space was abundance for five adults. There was plenty of refreshments in the fridge and pantry as well as a lovely big fruit basket. We were not short of any amenities and Janine was more than happy to meet any of our requirements should we have needed for anything more. I would truly recommend this as a " must place" to stay in the bustling heart of St Kilda. A true little gem to escape and unwind after a busy day of shopping or sight seeing in busy Melbourne, making it almost feel like an escape to the country.
