This private and cosy little cottage is amazing. Our girls really loved it. It was warm, comfortable and homely for our family of four (including 6 and 3yr olds). It has everything you need including a simple breakfast included, cooking facilities, laundry and dishwasher. Best of all is the location in Nt Balwyn. It is very central and is close to freeway and the Doncaster Park and Ride for a quick express bus into the CBD or elsewhere. We found it easy to bus into town to see the sights and leave our rental car, or drive our rental car south, east or north very easily. It was a 40min drive to Melbourne Airport on a Monday morning to catch our flight home.
There is an Aldi a short walk away, and quite a range of food options around there too if you don't want to cook.
Also, what an amazing and unique garden and outdoor area. It has sensor lighting which safely show the way to the bottom garden if you arrive home after dark.
Janet and Allan are friendly, eager to help and non-intrusive hosts.
I will not hesitate to recommend Janet and Allan's little cottage to friends and family. In fact, it will be number one on our next trip to Melbourne!
