Christmas at Hillside House
The house was idea for our family trip to Melbourne. Within easy walking distance to some shops (IGA and Cafes), the train station and in a very nice and quiet area. House was clean, well equipped and rooms bigger than expected. Owner was very responsive to communications and helpful with any enquiries. Felt like home and we had a great trip, would recommend to family.

Melbourne Trip
Catching public transport in and out of the city everyday was nice and convient as train station is literally just down the road. House was tidy and welcoming. It took us a little while to work out where the laundry room was (outside). Having a BBQ out in the back yard might nice for future guests as the outdoor is nice and big enough to enjoy.

Charming easy to stay home
Had everything we needed for a 10 night stay. Lots of extras (toilet paper washing up etc) which help when you arrive and staying for over a week. Very generous and kind feel about the place. Clean and tidy beds very comfortable. Easy to manage property and in a great location for everything in Melbourne. We will be back as its a good little number.

Perfect for groups or families
This property was perfect for our family trip to Melbourne. With plenty of room for 3 generations. The location is easily accessible with local shops a short drive away. The house is furnished with everything you need for your stay. Comfortable beds, with plenty of pillows. The bath towels are soft also. We travelled into the city with the train station in walking distance. Tibor is an excellent host and was great answering questions both prior & during the stay. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.
