My wife and I stayed at Maki and Roy's Airbnb. We had a wonderful time with Maki and Roy. They were very hospitable and told us everything we wanted to know about the area. Public transport is conveniently located close to their home. Two train stations are a 5 minute ride away and we found that the 'purple' train at Tarneit Station more comfortable and faster than blue Metro train and it took only 30 minutes (4 stops) to get to Melbourne CBD. There is a bus not far from the house, to Tarneit Station, though we found Uber to be cheaper and faster. We highly recommend the combination of Uber and train. The bus stop is only a few minutes walk from their place anyway.
A local shopping centre to buy basic necessities is walking distance (an 8-10 minute walk). There is also a large local shopping mall that is only a 10 minute drive with many outlets, a 24hr Kmart and supermarkets open until midnight.
Maki & Roy’s home is immaculately clean, very nice and a really cozy place to stay at a very reasonable price. With great hosts, a good location and with plenty of amenities nearby, what more could you want.
We also took a couple of their 'private' day tour packages around Melbourne and the surrounding areas and we enjoyed their fantastic service and their informative commentaries about the region and sights. They took us to some beautiful places, Great Ocean Road and a Winery Tour, at a very reasonable price and that was a memorable experience for us both.
We will definitely come back and stay at Maki and Roy Airbnb again and would highly recommend anyone to book with them for a great local experience.
Thank you Maki and Roy for your warm hospitality and fantastic services! We will be back again soon.
