This is an amazing place to stay! To start Allan and Liz are amazing hosts, who only want you to have the best possible stay with them. The house property is beautiful and extremely well kept. The garden and decking next to apartment is beautiful and amazing to look at each day from the window. We were often asked to use any herbs in the garden and to make it our own. Just outside the front undercover door is more decking, but a BBQ that again we were encouraged to use. The completely detached apartment is accessed by a gated side entrance and the apartment itself is very insulated. We never heard anything from the house and they never heard anything from us. The apartment itself was amazing and even better then the pictures show. Not only does it have everything you need, it has been designed and constructed in such a way that the space works fantastically and everything is used efficiently. The apartment had a full kitchen with oven, hotplates, microwave, kettle, toaster and fridge. It looks small on the photos, but again, it is so well done in where everything is situated that it feels like a full sized kitchen. The shower is lovely and big with a great shower head. I could of lost alot of time in the shower. Next to that is a washing machine, which we did use and was very happy it was there. Again the bathroom area looks small, but the way the space is used, makes it feel larger. The bedroom overlooking the rest of the apartment is large, but as it is all open, really opens everything up. The cupboard space was huge and great to hide our suitcases in and hang up anything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and big enough for both of us. The living room area has a lovely large flat screen tv and very comfortable leather chairs. We easily sat here all night watching the tv. There is also a desk and chair that we used as a computer desk with some magazines and tourist information. Along with the desk, there is also a bookcase full of books! Always great to be able to grab and book to borrow while relaxing. The entire apartment is heated/cooled by one spilt system unit, but it does an amazing job. It heated the entire place in only a couple of minutes and we never had to have it on long. Overall, my husband and I were ready to move into this apartment. We felt completely at home and was relaxed in moments. It is bright and fresh and extremely well kept and clean. We were brought clean sheets, towels and tea towels often. There is public transport so close and we even walked to Chadstone. When we are next in Melbourne, this is the 1st place we will look for to stay, as it was very hard to leave. Thank you again Allan and Liz!
