My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Christopher’s lovely house for the weekend.
The historic terrace, Caldera, was just as cosy and comfortable as I’d hoped, but exceeded expectations when it came to decor - wonderful retro posters and tasteful furniture - and great location.
We’ll set up for pets too, with floorboards throughout, non-fabric lounges and a doggie ‘gate’ thoughtfully left in the upstairs bedroom.
In regards to location, the house is situated at the end of a quiet cul de sac beside South Melbourne Town Hall. The outlook over trees, the beautiful Town Hall and other local warehouses/buildings is quite special and the upstairs verandah is bathed in morning sun - a delight! And while I’m a quiet street, it’s very close to local shops.
I live in Melbourne, so this was a local ‘staycation’, but it felt like I was worlds away from my modern apartment. In a good way - while the house has lots of character, it also has mod cons like renovated bathrooms, dishwasher, a great kitchen, effective heating and comfortable beds and furniture.
I would highly recommend Caldera to either locals or people who live further afield!
