Yvonne and the family were lovely and welcoming. They are available and responsive to any queries and I appreciated that they are next door and accessible if needed. The cottage feels totally private and secure and is very quiet. It's cozy and has a lovely feel with everything I needed being available for use. I have loved the fireplace and big windows to look out into the private courtyard. I have just moved to Melbourne and this has been just the right environment to help get me set up. There are lots of transport options with buses and trams. Once I got used to the area I was able to get on a bus to the shops in about 10 minutes to Port Melbourne or into the city easily with buses running every 10 to 15 minutes. Taxi's are also quick and easy to arrange. The beach is great and very close and there are lovely surrounding parks and nice walks to do. I would thoroughly recommend the cottage for short or long term stays.
