This cute little pad has everything you need plus a very comfy bed, cosy doona and heated blanket perfect for cooler nights.
We are quite tall so found the shower very small and you do need to be careful not to touch the pipes as they are quite hot. We loved the convenience of shower gel, shampoo and conditioner along with towels.
The complex is just across the street from the pier where you can spot local penguins at sunset. Melissa has some great recommendations for places to eat which we really enjoyed. Highly recommend eating crepes at the Sunday markets while taking a stroll and looking at some handmade goods.
Melissa was a great host, honest and upfront about a neighbour who is sensitive to noise and is quite vocal. The first day we did feel slightly concerned yet she settled on the second day and all was fine.
While we love winter this place would also be great to stay through summer to enjoy the beach and walk trails a little more. The walk from Melissa’s home to the bathing boxes is great, yet pack a warm jacket and beanie for the cooler months.
Would highly recommend Melissa’s home to anyone wanting to stay in St Kilda.
