My partner and I have come to Australia on a long term basis, and wanted a good solid start base to begin our emigration. Before we even arrived in Australia, Deanna and Daryl were so helpful in giving us information about where to get hire cars, possible rental homes, things we may need to make our transition easier. We didn't know the couple before this trip, but they felt like long lost friends before our plane even landed. They weren't just giving us a room, they have been like a second family to us. Also, their apartment was so clean and fresh, it has just been totally renovated so felt like we were in a hotel. Deanna and Daryl made us feel so welcome, even down to the little touches like putting cadburys chocolate on our beds for our arrival, and stocking us up with the basics in the fridge to help us start out. Their place is quite far from the city, but that is the only down side (and a minor one at that), but not a problem if you hire a car, which we found better as we got to see more of Melbourne that way, plus we could drive to a nearby park that had wild kangaroos!!!!!!!! You don't get that in the city! So if you want to stop somewhere warm, friendly and inviting then this is the place to choose. You will never feel on your own, and if you ever need to know anything, Deanna will blow your mind with information. She's fantastic and we can't thank her and Daryl enough for giving us the best start to our journey!!!!!! Thank you both :o)
