Ione was a great communicator prior to our arrival and during our stay. She was welcoming and friendly. The Stables are in an excellent location close to the Rod Laver Arena, MCG and Bridge Rd. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, like a well equipped hotel room. The brick floor and walls are stunning. The area is safe to walk around and we accessed a parking permit from Ione to enable us to park for our entire stay. We left the car and walked everywhere. My husband enjoyed flying paper planes with Ione's two sons and having the paper delivered each morning. We would recommend a stay at the Stables to friends and family.
