What a lovely place! I was looking for somewhere for my parents to stay near to us, and found Cathy's house - what a great find. We already know and love the area (Albert Park is fabulous for cafes, the market in S Melb, parks, MSAC, the beach, close to the city...) but this little cottage was really special. It's an older property, but it is good value for the area.
My parents commented on the comfy (and huge!) bed, and the well stocked kitchen and bathroom, and the big rooms. Most of all though, they absolutely adored the garden. It was perfect for sitting out for lazy lunches and dinners, after they had exhausted themselves sightseeing!
We wondered if it might get a bit hot (no a/c) but the very high ceilings meant it stayed ok most nights, only getting uncomfortably hot one night after a spell of hotter weather (might be a bit too warm in a really hot spell though).
Cathy responded promptly to any queries (e.g. they noticed the gas bottle was empty when they first went to have a BBQ; Cathy had a new one round within a few hours).
There was a highchair available, which came in useful when they looked after our son for the day. The place would be fine if you were travelling with a baby/young child as there was lots of room to run about in and the bedroom was very large.
Overall, a great find in a great area. Thank you, Cathy, for helping to make Mum and Dad's first long-haul trip a big success!
