Gorgeous apartment!
Overall I loved this place and would highly recommend it for families with young children. Although a ground floor unit, I had an elderly and not very mobile parent so the walk to and from the car park was challenging but the host did let me know beforehand. Didn't take away from the apartment, just something for travellers to note - it served our short stay purpose otherwise! The host is amazing, very clear and timely communications, no stresses at all! Would highly recommend this place! 5 stars!!

We enjoyed our short stay in Jo’s apartment. The gardens were lovely to walk our two dogs around. Close to the Yarra River walks too. The apartment had everything we needed although there was no wifi available. Jo was great to communicate with too.

Wonderful
Loved the property. Close to the city and close to all local shops. The property does not have fans or aircon in the bedrooms, could do with floor fans as a suggestion. It was VERY warm the weekend we stayed. Overall, our stay was AWESOME, the property was homey and cosy. Definitely returning :) Thank you Jo, for sharing your property with us.

Private and Relaxing
We had an exceptional experience during our stay at this historic venue. The property matched its description perfectly, leaving us pleasantly unsurprised. It provided a comfortable and tranquil environment. The pool and the surrounding grounds were particularly delightful. It's advisable to allocate some time to explore this property's offerings. We highly endorse this venue, and dealing with Jo, the host was a breeze. Without a doubt, we plan on returning in the future.

This a peaceful and beautiful place to stay close to the centre of Melbourne and away from the noise! The apartment had everything we needed and more. We loved sitting out on the deck looking out over the extensive and well maintained gardens. Jo was lovely, very helpful and communicative.
