If you are looking for a spacious and well located place for the family to stay in Melbourne's northern suburbs, Wynn and Geoff's place in Resevoir is the real deal.
The accommodation is a three bedroom unit built above Wynn and Geoff's home in a quite suburban street. It's a great location because the terminus for the West Preston tram, which runs through Brunswick Street Fitzroy all the way into the city and beyond to St Kilda Beach, is just around the corner. Within 2 minutes walking distance, there is a great coffee house and not one but two amazing wine stores stocking labels I have never seen anywhere else. The only down side is there is no off street parking, but it's not a busy main road and while we had two cars to park, we never had a problem parking close to the house.
The unit is exceptionally well appointed with just about every cooking utensil you might ever need, which is great if you are trying to cater for family dinners as we were. The place is really well set up for a family stay, even to the supply of children's toys. We had three generations of the one family (grandparents, daughter and son-in-law and their two young children) in this accommodation and while there is only a single bathroom, we all managed fine. The unit has a northerly aspect looking out over a lovely suburban back yard and being a bit higher, caught the breeze.
Wynn and Geoff are great hosts and the couple of small problems we experienced were promptly attended to without any fuss. We can certainly recommend Wynn and Geoff's accommodation as a great place for a family to stay in Melbourne.
