Very clean, spacious and nice set up. The facilities are very good and enough for our need. Excellent location, near the lake and quiet neighbourhood.
Zorica from Australia (10/10)
Well presented, comfy beds. Location was great for our needs. Attentive host. Little extra items available in the bathroom and kitchen were great and I love the ‘pay it forward’ idea.

The house was perfect for our stay. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and had everything we needed. It was located in a good position, close to the Yarra Valley and shopping centres.

The care the owner displayed by having the AC on when we arrived on a very hot icy poles plus in the freezer! Well stocked pantry of basic essentials. Their readiness to communicate and detailed instructions for check out. A lovely comfortable home.

Everything, exeptional communication from the host. The house had everything it felt like we were home. The house is in a very quiet suburb and its not far from lilydale town. We definately will stay here again.
