I felt right at home in this cottage, it is light & bright with a rustic contemporary vibe. The indoor plants add an indoor outdoor flow to the gorgeous patio. By coincidence I had lived in the same street years ago & Hawksburn Village is still one of Melbourne's loveliest pockets. Several parks close by to take a walk or work out. I really appreciated the thoughtful & tasteful touches - fresh coffee beans for the machine, a cafetiere & loose leaf teapot, quality glassware, linen sheets & Australian essential oil toiletries. The owner was always friendly & immediately sent a handyman when some ceiling lights needed changing. I would happily stay again.
