My partner and I stayed at Ondine’s place for four nights and by the end of our stay we were quite reluctant to leave. First of all the location in South Melbourne is great, surrounded by a lot of leafy streets with nice cafes and stores and an easy walk away from the market and the city. The property is located just next to a tram line into the city or towards the beach, and although the room could be a bit noisy due to traffic passing by, it felt like a nice balance between being close to everything, and being able to hide away in your own private space for some down time. The space was lovely and well designed, with a very comfortable bed, enough storage space and a good shower. Although we didn’t utilise the kitchen to cook anything, we very much appreciated small touches like having tea, sauces and honey provided, and also coffee making equipment. This place would be ideal for anyone who intends to go out to eat or is happy cooking a basic meal in the space.
Ondine was a great host, communicated quickly and was very accommodating if we had any requests. The check in experience was easy and no-fuss and allowed us to settle in and feel at home right away.
We would definitely stay here again, and recommend Ondine’s place to anyone passing through Melbourne who wants a little oasis to relax in.
