A lovely house in a lovely garden
Gardenvale Cottage is a lovely property, with 2 bedrooms, a spacious living room, well equipped kitchen and a large well maintained back yard with patio furniture and BBQ. It s close to the Sandringham Metro, and a about a 20-25 minute walk to a lovely sandy beach. It is close to grocery stores, pubs and cafes. Katie, the owner, is right next to the property and is very responsive to questions and very helpful and welcoming. We had a lovely time there and would highly recommend it to people who like to do housekeeping in a nice neighbourhood.

Great spot an easy train ride from Melbourne
From the warm welcome until it was time to go we had a happy stay in Gardenvale. The property is just as advertised and made an excellent family home for our stay. The only issues we had were when the trains stopped running in the evening for maintenance work - everything else was top notch.

This house is ideal for a family stay with all facilities for self catering and cafes and takeaway food nearby. The beds are comfy and warm and the 3 couches are great for relaxing.

A good place to relax
After more than 21,000 km on the road and over 4 months travelling a lap of Australia this place was perfect for home from home stay. We enjoyed a relaxing week here, where could spread out and get adjusted to a normal life again. It was fully equipped, so we did not need to go anywhere apart from an occasional trip to one of the many local restaurants or take a short walk to jump on a train to the city. Loved the Art Deco feel, Tim Tams and fresh fruit bowl.
