We stayed at The Stables during our 6 day visit to Melbourne in February to see friends & a world cup cricket match.

Shortly after booking, Ione contacted us to make sure we were aware the property did not have cooking facilities, given we were staying more than a couple of days. So, if you are wanting to self-cater, this would not be the property to book.

We were arriving late at night which was no issue, Ione made sure the we were able to access the property without disturbing them.

The property is in Richmond - an excellent location to base yourself in Melbourne. There are great cafes, restaurants, bars a short walk from the property. It is walking distance to the MCG & other stadiums in this area. There is excellent public transport networks & it is an easy walk into Melbourne central.

The property is a spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom facilities are a decent size, with a fridge & coffee/tea making facilities available. There is plenty of information provided for the local area, Melbourne & wider Victoria. A car parking permit is provided if needed and myki cards for Melbourne public transport. You will share the backyard with the family & a couple of friendly dogs.

Ione was helpful answering questions & kindly provided us with some fresh fruit one afternoon. We would certainly recommend this property & would stay again if we are ever in Melbourne.
