    Just need a bigger sink to be able to do dishes and fill the kettle in. Otherwise the place is perfect.

    Would have prefered to have parking on property rather than on street. A small couch in room would be nice,

    Very comfortable room with a comfy bed. The room was very clean and close to Hotel, supermarket and shops.

    It was unfortunate we had a power blackout for a few hours but this couldn’t be helped. Thankfully the owners loaned us a candle and torch which helped immensely.

    Very quiet, clean and convenient to the city centre.

    Was a little bit of noise from adjoining house during the day (but quiet at night). Parking was on the road outside the property. But it was a service road....so not too bad. May be a problem if you had a lot of luggage.

    Cute little studio. Much better than a motel room. Very comfy bed. Ideal for my overnight stay. Great location. Supermarket on one corner, fuel on another and a short walk to Lake Wendouree and eating options. Also close to main shopping area and other shopping centres. Great price. Would stay again.

    Simple breakfast of toast and juice, maybe. Overall very happy

    Lovely well presented property. Clean and comfortable, spacious with a lovely garden outdoor area. The host was communicative and accommodating. The unit is very well positioned with three hotels within walking distance, a very well stocked IGA 50M away and the number 26 bus goes past the front door. Short walk to Lake Wendouree which takes about an hour to walk around. We would stay again. Thank you to our hosts 😊

    I can't think of anything which I didn't like about this property.

    The Studio was peaceful and quiet and looks out onto an amazing garden. Although it's near a busy road, we didn't hear much traffic or road noise. The studio is very comfortable for a couple and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed at the beginning and end of our travels to Hamilton. We would highly recommend this accommodation. Thanks to Joy for providing such a great place to rest.

    Bathroom was a bit small with shower door hard to manage as a result. Room was only 900mm wide. Not much space for toiletries. Leaving the door open would allow more space to dry oneself with bumping into walls.

    Lovely and private. Peaceful garden with table for meals. The room was large and well set out.
