Every now and then you come across one of those perfect little gems and Dougal and Jan's cottage is one for sure.
It's a two bedroom haven with a bright living area complete with back decking area to soak up the rays along with a parking space.
These guys have thought of everything to ensure your stay is a pleasant one. For those who travel lightly you'll be pleased to know shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hair dryer are supplied along with basic condiments in the kitchen.
We are a small family and really appreciated the cot and high chair supplied.
Now for the area.. you are in the middle of the best parts of St Kilda. Walk one direction and you're are the beach and vibrant Acland Street famous for its pastries, fish and chips and restaurants. Head the other and you have Fitzroy Street with its bars and restaurants and the famous bowls club. Just down the road on Barkly Street you've got an amazing bakery called Woodfrog and one of the best breakfast menus in St Kilda at Dr Jekyl.
If you have little people with you'll be pleased to know there's the Adventure Playground for kids nearby.
It's a tram ride into the city and walking distance to Balaclava.
Dougal and Jan were super with their communication and their attention to detail reminds you they genuinely care about your stay. We'd stay again!
