  • "The Empress Cottage was a brilliant place to stay in Melbourne. Des and Lee are extremely accomodating and helpful and the Cottage is clean, quiet and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend the Empress Cottage to anyone visiting Melbourne who wants to get away from the Hustle and Bustle of the Inner city"
    Jamie, June 2010
     
  • "There are not enough words to describe how spectacular this place is. Des and Lee are great hosts and can't do enough to assist in any way they can. Is a great location to get around Melbourne safe for a single person to travel to the city late at night to see shows etc, the local restaurants are super and the Sun Cinema a must do. The whole place is so comfortable and homely that I want to put it in my suitcase and take it home with me. 5 stars are not enough."
    Jane, May 2010
     
  • "What a beautiful house and even more charming hosts, it was a home away from home and a lovely place to stay if your not keen on the hubbub of the city. Super convenient location, lovely renovated room, all the luxuries without the price tag. An absolute find!"
    Caroline, February 2010
     
  • "Des and Lee are the consummate hosts. They made us feel completely at home. Lee even drove us to Melbourne Cup! Fantastic little hideaway for couples. (the dogs are very cute too)."
    Katie, November 2009
     
  • "This is quite a find. Every detail has been thought of and Des and Lee were very accommodating. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, very well appointed and breakfast was made to our request. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a lovely weekend away in Melbourne. We were delighted with our stay and will definitely stay again. "
    Sandy and Bob , June 2009
     
  • "What a fabulous place to stay Des and Lee and those silly dogs really do make you feel very much at home In the end you feel sorry the flying company is not on strike!. these 2 wonderful man did anything to make our stay a sucess! We still think of the nice company at night having a glass of wine and many laughs as well as some serious chats Coming back to Melbourne we wont stay anywhere else."

  • "It was absolutely divine. The cottage was very neat and clean. The hosts were welcoming and helpfull."

  • "This is a really cute little B&B. Des and Lee were very accommodating even with food intorlances for example they went out of their way to get the right milk and butter etc. I didn't have a car but only a short walk to the train station, depends on how fast you really want to walk can take between 10 to 20mins. Would definately recommend this place. "
