Great quiet location. Comfortable space, clean facilities and host has gone the extra mile supplying the little things like sunscreen, dishwasher, hair-dryer, etc. Awesome coffee shop a few minutes walk away on Brewer Road. Host Joe found the right blend of allowing privacy while offering attentiveness and easy communication if needed.

    Great location, quiet but close enough for cheap ubers to the city. We only needed a bed to sleep in really. Pillows were shocking and husband ended up with a crook neck and thats unfortunate. Very thin walls so could hear chatter and plumbing. Very dated but it was just a place to sleep between activities so it was fantastically priced for that.

    The host Emillia was great, we booked the hostel for the formula one weekend which was but far the best price in the area, we had since gotten a campervan so Emillia let us stay outside in the van and let us use the facilities, this also freed up a bed inside. The street is really quiet and a lovely neighbourhood. The location was a 10 min walk to the nearest tram stop and a bus stop at the end of the street. It was a great location for the formula one.

    Great location for early morning airport start. it took me 5 minutes to walk to terminal 1 and 2. I enjoyed the view out over the suburbs out towards the city centre. Despite being right next to the freeway and the airport, the rooms are an oasis of quiet.

    Great location , close to attractions. Bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room was very quiet so we had a great night's sleep. The room was very clean and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful, suggesting a cheaper place to park our car which was great.
