A Melbourne Home with Post-War Character

Built in Melbourne’s post-war architectural style, the bungalow retains the easy proportions and lived-in personality of an established suburban home. The setting is green and peaceful, giving guests a place to slow down after meetings, sightseeing or days spent exploring the city.

This is also a hosted stay. The experience is shaped by respectful sharing, clear house rules and the reassurance of a host who remains contactable whether at home, at work or travelling overseas.
