Cathy was a great host & the cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs! A short stroll to Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre in one direction and to Albert Park Shops in the other, both with tram stops to get quickly & easily into the city. We arrived as it was getting dark so Cathy had very thoughtfully bought us fresh bread, milk, butter, fruit, biscuits & chocolates so we didn't have to race out to go shoppping - very much appreciated! The cafes at Albert Park shops were so good with wonderful coffee! Everything we needed was in the cottage, and it made our stay in Melbourne so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. I would recommend this cottage to anyone.
