My husband and I stayed with Maureen and Brian for five weeks, and it was perfect for us. They were both very helpful, open minded and welcoming, while we also had all the "freedom" we might wish for. The room was bright and friendly with two large windows, a TV and a comfortable bed. Breakfast was included, and in addition we were able to make coffee / tea in the room. There was also a refrigerator, and we had our own large bathroom. Two very nice mountainbikes took us around in the Melbourne area. Last but not least, they took us on a couple of trips in the area, and we were also invited on dinner and offered wine and cheese in the late afternoons. We felt very welcome.
