Melanie is a terrific and welcoming host. She had excellent recommendations of food and places to see and was very generous with her home and smiles.
We also loved staying in the stables. The bed was super comfy, the house was quiet and the bath was nice and deep, but nothing beats how priceless the wallpaper is in the bathroom.
Richmond was a fun suburb to wander around and we enjoyed catching the tram down to Prahran up to Fitzroy to explore. What a great trip.
