We had a lovely stay for our sons wedding at Project 3488 which is just a short walk away. It was a very cold weekend but the property has a/c & a wood heater so no problem staying warm. Opposite the yarra river & plenty of walking tracks we will be back again when the weather warms up.

We had a lovely stay at this property- the peace and tranquility was just what the doctor ordered. The house was very comfortable and the fireplace is amazing. Very well laid out and the location was within walking distance to all shops etc. the only small feedback I would give is that it would be great if the spa bath was fixed so the spa operates, but other than that the house is excellent and we would happily stay again.

Great Dog Friendly Accommodation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it as a great place to stay while experiencing what the area has to offer. The house was beautifully presented with a nostalgic style and atmosphere. The clock theme and decorative furnishings were superb. It offered plenty of very functional living space, storage space and a five plus‑star kitchen. It was easy to settle in and enjoy the property. We very much appreciate this property being dog friendly which was the reason we chose this option in the first place and it made for a fun stay with our pup. We look forward to staying again in the future. Below are a hopefully a few constructive, easy‑to‑address suggestions to enhance future guests’ experiences: We found a few odd items in drawers and scattered around that appeared to have been left by previous guests (which we know can happen). Checking draws and vanity units prior to guest arrival would avoid any unexpected surprises. The outdoor TV had no reception, the remote control was dead, and the bedside clocks were unplugged. Ensuring all devices are in working order and set correctly creates a far more welcoming impression. The BBQ should have been presented as perfectly clean, hygienic and ready to use but both the hot plate and grill needed a deep clean/resurface or replacement so we could not use this. As the spa is not working perhaps this should be removed from the listing to avoid disappointment. Likewise, breakfast provisions provided

Beautiful Location for a Weekend Break!
Our family had a fabulous weekend away staying here…it was a quiet, tranquil and spacious house with a fantastic secure garden for our dogs to play without worry of them escaping! The only negative would be that there were areas that could have done with a really good clean but on the whole we would return!

Family time at Christmas
A beautiful old home for catching up with family. Plenty of room, privacy and so close to the centre of town. The towering trees, gardenia bushes encircling the house and the picturesque old home made it a great stay. The choice of 2 very adequate bathrooms and decent sized kitchen was very much appreciated as well as the comfortable bedrooms.Well worth the stay.Thank you .

Loved it!
We had a wonderful stay! Such a lovely house and location, perfect for our two families. The property could use a deep clean as windows and skirtings etc were very dusty and dirty. The exhaust fan also needs to be repaired as it was broken. We'd come back for sure.

Lovely historic home
The house was cute and cosy. We loved the fireplace and abundance of firewood and check in was easy. It was a nice quiet location and family and our dog loved it.We did find some light bulbs and appliances that weren’t working properly but overall was a great little getaway. Would definitely recommend.

Travelled with family and small children, Travelled with pets
The perfect space for a family getaway from the city. We very much enjoyed the fireplace, it heated up the whole house! The house is in a great location, very close to the local cafes/restaurants. We loved hearing the Kookaburras in the morning and watching the Rosellas in the trees.
