We found this Airbnb to be ideal. We stayed for three weeks. For us it was a little haven in the right location. It is 500 metres from the shops and coffee bars of Mount Evelyn. Very cosy and comfortable and clean with an excellent shower and microwave to warm up the fish and chips. An attractive outdoor patio to see the cockatoos.
Try the Billy Goat Hill for breakfast of a flat white and an avocado smash.

A Regular 30 minute bus service down to Lilydale where you can catch the train into Melbourne (1 hour) or try hiring a bike to take the trail to Warburton. Catch the bus back for a grand day out.
Or catch the train to Melbourne and take the tram out to the beach at St Kilder.
Nigel is your host and you can't go wrong.
Enjoy !!!
