We had a fantastic 4 week stay in Altona. We had heard mixed reviews about the area but it was perfect for us....very relaxed....beautiful scenery and birdlife, cafes, easy transport into Melbourne and plenty of shops....and most importantly tremendous kitesurfing! The house was very well equipped and comfortable and Noel and his wife made us feel very welcome! We're super thankful your place was available for us and we're happy to be now be living on a more permanent basis around the corner!! Thanks again!
