The house was just as pictured or even better. It is like a cabin vibe, with beautifully curated furniture/interior design. Matthew has thought of everything a person might need during their stay — from cookware to a beautiful stash of tea, extra fluffy blanket, heater and even soft towels upon arrival.
Check-in was super easy and Matthew gave very clear instructions on where things were upon arrival. The house easy to find, an easy <5 minutes walk to the tram or bus stop and there is plenty of wonderful amenities nearby.
If it weren’t a vacation for me, I’d have stayed in and cooked for most days if I could but of course, I had to leave the house because it is my holiday afterall!
The laundromat is <5 minutes walk away and the staff at the laundromat is very helpful and nice. Neighbours (Vincent, specifically) that were very friendly and little gem cafés nearby.
Top recommendations for the area:
- Taiyo Sun (MY FAV DISCOVERY IN THIS AREA — <10 minutes tram ride)
- The Pinnacle (bar with interesting beers on tap and a scrumptious chicken schnitzel)
- Tin pot cafe (<10 minute tram ride)
- Growers’ espresso (beside laundromat so about 5 minutes walk)
- Twice Shy (<10 minute walk, one street down)
- Wild Things Grocer (gorgeous place for groceries with everything you’d need and more, about 10 minute tram ride away)
There are several beautiful record stores, jewelry places and interesting shops just down the street. There is also a Green Reserve nearby, perfect for a good morning walk or cycle.
I didn’t get to use the bike but it was in great shape when I saw it.
I can’t wait to come back soon, hopefully!
