Our trip was golf related. We were looking for proximity to Melbourne’s sandbelt courses and Philippa’s place was perfect. We were a very easy 10 minute drive from Royal Melbourne, Victoria GC etc. Having said that, if golf is the last thing on your mind, then Philippa’s place could be just what you need too.
The beach access is at the end of the street which is a 10 minute stroll. If you head in the opposite direction, it is another short walk to the train station. Jump on and go anywhere!
Literally around the corner, you’ll find supermarket, liquor, fruit and veg, cafes, restaurants and local shops including books, boutiques and homewares. If you want to go a bit further, DFO and Chadstone aren’t too far by car.
The apartment is secure and parking was fine. It’s nicely and comfortably furnished. The beds were awesome! There’s plenty of storage in bedrooms, lots of linen and towels etc, washing machine provided and kitchen had everything we needed. The wifi and mobile reception was great.
Philippa was a lovely host who replied quickly to our messages, worked in with us and our arrival time and was there to meet us and show us around. She thoughtfully left a bottle of wine to welcome us and milk and other pantry staples were available for us. A folder showing local amenities and suggestions was provided and we can vouch for a couple of the recommended restaurants!
Philippa wasn’t too far away if we needed anything and messaged us to make sure all was ok.
We really loved staying at Phillipa’s place!
