Ttekceba Retreat B/B

ChristopherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We enjoyed a quiet two night stay at Veronika’s unique house. The highlight was the main bedroom with the bath tub and open views to an amazing moss garden. The house had everything you would need and breakfast was also provided. The pool and outdoor area was beautiful and well kept but unfortunately the weather was a little too cold for us to jump in this time. Veronika was contactable and answered any questions during our stay but was very respectful of our privacy.

Beachside Vibes 2 min stroll to Parkdale Beach

BethanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amazing stay. Managed to book it on the day of check in due to unforeseen circumstances and they were very accommodating. Everything you could need and more. It was very relaxing and had everything within walking distance. Couldn’t recommend staying here more. Everything was very clean and beds were very comfy. Thanks for the best stay. Nothing to fault.

Susie's place is really comfortable with lovely beds, well-appointed kitchen, and a relaxed vibe. Great for inner Melbourne area - walkable and lots of public transport options, but also has a car space if needed. A recommended place to stay.

Elwood Beach Apartment with Private Courtyard

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Jack is a world-class host, super responsive and caring of his guests. The place got 2 decent size bedrooms spacious living room and beautiful back yard. The place is really close to the beach ( 3 minute walk) and 5 minute walk to Elwood village (where you can find cafes, deli, health food shops and bars). The bus station is just around the corner, so very easy to get around with public transport (1 stop from Acland street) Everything we needed Jack was fast to provide and we will definitely come back on our next visit.

Hampton Living - 2/3 Bedroom

TroyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had our father in hospital from an unexpected road accident. We are from the country so Being with Tennis on in Melbourne we were struggling to find accommodation close to the Alfred. I got on to Air B n B and found John’s house. John was very quick to respond. It was only a short easy drive to the hospital and the house suited us well for the 3 days we spent in Hampton and visiting our father. John’s house felt very homely and is what we needed while visiting our father in hospital. Thanks John. Cheers

Tropical Oasis with spa and Cinema room

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Annick and JP made us feel very at home and welcomed. They were very accommodating to our individual needs & supportive of the fact i have a disability which required extra support. We needed long term housing & trying to find accommodation for that amount of time was extremely difficult and both Annick & JP came to our rescue & really saved us from being homeless whilst our house was being rebuilt. They were respectful of our privacy during our time there & made us feel like it was our home during our stay. The SPA is AMAAAAAAZING and worth coming to stay for it alone and my daughter and family also enjoyed the theatre room. We cant THANK BOTH ANNICK & JP for everything you have done for us.

Beautiful Winchester Terrace Moonee Ponds

AmeliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Charlotte’s beautiful place was just the home away from home we needed for a trip back to Melbourne for a family wedding. Walking distance to Moonee Ponds station, Puckle street and numerous cute little back street cafes. Street parking was never an issue and the house had all the amenities we could have asked for travelling with a child- and then some. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

Builders own Large Hampton style home - Croydon

GavinRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The house is lovely and very nicely done. Spotless, super quiet location and spacious. Set up was good for us and having the 4 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms was essential. Bathrooms are slick and modern. Location was convenient for visiting our relatives in the area but you are likely to need a car or use something like uber for shopping and eating out. We had a car but used uber as well and response times were very good. Would definitely look at staying again. A very enjoyable 5 day stay.

Stunning contemporary residence, free parking

SimonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
It was an absolute pleasure to be hosted by Melanie at her gorgeous home! We had a brilliant stay and loved the neighbourhood. It was close enough to walk into town and to local pubs, cafes etc. The home was immaculate and luxurious with lots of exotic touches. We really appreciated the extras that Melanie provided, i.e. quality bathroom products, and a well set up kitchen. Also Melanie owns an amazing restaurant, Grain Store in Flinders Lane, which we visited twice during our stay.. highly recommended! We loved our visit and will be back!

JodeneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We enjoyed every minute staying in this beautiful home. I felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. Would love to stay again the next time my family are all together in Melbourne. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to be close to the heart of everything Melbourne, yet be comfortable in a spacious, charming, warm, and very welcoming home. Sanaz is a great host and gave clear instructions, also checking in with us to make sure we were all OK, offering assistance and a late check out if we needed it. Thank you, Sanaz. I miss your beautiful Elster home already! 💚
