Great stay ! There was someone to show us around the house when we arrived. We also very much appreciated the wine and sake offered.
Luisa had prepared a list of things to do in Melbourne and the neighbourhood with maps and guidebooks. We enjoyed in particular the terrace where we spent a fair amount of time enjoying the weather. Staying in "sustainability street" was also a great opportunity to raise the awareness and understanding of our kids around organic food, recycling and compost.
Definitely no need for a car to explore the city (train and tram nearby).
