The units come with air conditioning, a dishwasher, an oven, a coffee machine, a hot tub, slippers and a desk. There is a private bathroom with walk-in shower in some units, along with bathrobes, a hair dryer and free toiletries. At the homestay, each unit comes with a outdoor furniture and a TV.

This accommodation absolutely complies with the name. It's cosy and it's situated close enough to the airport and you can easily get to the city either by train or by tram. It was so kind of Helen to provide me a transport card, amazing welcome fruit salad and I really felt at home away from home. I definitely recommend this place to stay for exploring Melbourne and look forward to coming back!

The homestay provides guests with a terrace, garden views, a seating area, cable flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and an oven, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and slippers. A microwave, a toaster and fridge are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the homestay, every unit is equipped with bed linen and towels.

Yvonne and Wesley are the perfect hosts. We had the whole downstairs which is large. The kitchenette has all that is needed to cook but any complicated cooking, was done in the main kitchen. The whole stay was very comfortable. Yvonne and Wesley go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. They really make you feel, part of the family.

    It's a homestay in the quiet residential area not far from the train station. Very quiet and clean place, spacious room with a big comfortable bed and huge closet for the clothes and stuff. You can use the kitchen, fridge and washing machine and hang out in the two common areas. Owner was really friendly and made me feel like at home. I was the only guest at the time so I felt totally free and undisturbed. Definitely recommend if you want to feel like at home not in the hotel.
