Enchanting capacious old house that easily accommodated a large extended family group of 4 separate adults and two primary school age children. In very cold weather, the heating was excellent/cosy. For such a large number of bedrooms (6), this house is short of bathrooms, having only one main bathroom (no bath), and one small ensuite bathroom attached to one of the bedrooms that had a king size bed. Good kitchen, great backyard for children to kick a soccer ball around. Fabulous and interesting art work throughout the house. Great location for walking around Elwood and St Kilda, particularly close access to the beach and St Kilda Botanic Gardens. Also easy access to city trams on Brighton Road. Local supermarket just a short walk away. Would definitely book this dear old property again, and would be great in any weather/season.

Stayed in a grand old family home in eclectic Elwood for a mix of family get together and the Australian Open tennis tournament. The house was a beautiful period piece and close to the bars and restaurants in St Kilda, and an easy train ride to the tennis. Worked out perfectly for us and we really enjoyed our stay.

Grand old home. Great for a large group. Nice to have a backyard to relax in. Close to trams and not far from St Kilda. Kitchen well equipped if you want to cook. Very quiet area. Relaxing place to stay.
