Located within a short walk to numerous coffee shops, restaurants, pharmacy, supermarket and the Gardenvale train station. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Great family stay at Gardenvale
We had a great stay at Gardenvale cottages. Everything was super clean and tidy and it had everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The kids loved playing with the toys and the special surprise that was left for them. There is a really great coffee shop just a few doors down which is very handy and the local shops and supermarkets are only a few minutes away.

Lovely tranquil stay
Lovely two bedroom property, very tidy on arrival and a warm greeting from Katie. Amenities all in perfect working order. Perfect amount of space for a small family, with Gardenvale Park a short walk away for some outdoor variety. Yard is very safe for small children. Be aware that the driveway is a little tight if you have a large car, but we were able to park a Carnival in there (just). Street is nice and quiet which makes reversing in easy. Wonderful visit, thank you Katie!

Near impeccable cottage - like a trip back in time
This charming little cottage feels like it belongs in the mid 20th century.. Tastefully decorated with features true to the period, this place is a delight to stay in. The absence of Wi-Fi may be a plus for some travellers. There were a couple of very minor maintenance items that could have improved the experience. Side gate could only be close with the key and the lock was difficult to operate. Equally the fly screen door latch was hard to operate as well. But these were very minor things in the context of the overall property

Charming, clean, quiet and comfortable cottage located in a wonderful neighborhood, with marvellous cafes and restaurants. Smooth communication with the property manager. Easy travel into the city by train, or there are rental car companies just around the corner. The beach is within 30 minutes by foot. We would highly recommend this property.

An excellent place to stay. So flexible with having to cancel twice and then extend at the last minute due to needing to isolate after a civid test. It is spacious, clean and just around the corner from family. Very close to the Napean highway but there are no noise issues.

Clean and cosy
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay in Katie's clean, cosy and cute Art Deco home. We appreciated Katie meeting with us to explain keys etc. and thoughtfully providing us with some milk and a bowl of fruit, ahead of doing our own shopping. Beds comfortable, kitchen well-equipped and the shower, I'm relieved to say, isn't a trickle, but comes on full pelt, something I like! The place is very secure, making us feel extra safe, and very conveniently located near the train station and eateries. The cafe on the corner serves delicious almond croissants! I can highly recommend staying here.
