What a great place to stay, really felt like home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, for those who like a firmer bed, the lounge was great to relax with a cup of tea and watch a movie. The beautiful courtyard was perfect for our little Pomeranian to investigate. Excellent location with tram stops only metres from the front to take you directly to either the CBD or St Kilda. During the Christmas/ New Year period, there were about half of the shops and cafes in the area open. Can recommend the following: Grapeseed Cafe for coffee and breakfast, Ipoh Parade Malaysian Restaurant for a simple tasty Chinese takeaway, Cannings Freerange Butchers on Glenferrie Rd for those who wish to stay in and cook, Phillippa's for artisan bread and baked goods, and for everything else there is Thomas Dux grocer next door! Thank you Lynne for making us feel so welcome in your home.
