We weeekended in Melbourne for a wedding and found The Stable to be the perfect home away from home for us. We were met warmly at the front door and shown around The Stable. It was spotless and very comfortable and the kitchen had been very thoughtfully stocked, not that we were able to enjoy the many items as we were not in to eat for the entire weekend!
Given The Stable has its own private entry from the side gate of the main house, other than arriving and leaving we didn't see host family at all - not that we would have minded as they were incredibly friendly and welcoming anyway. They were even kind enough to loan us a spare phone charger as we left ours at home.
Being close to trains and trams it's a great spot to stay yet it's such a niece and peaceful neighbourhood which made for a very easy and relaxing getaway.
We will definitely be back to stay at the The Stable whenever we are in Melbourne next, thank you!
