Holiday stay

A very, neat and clean house. It had all requirements for cooking and crockery etc. A very handy location and close to local shops and market. The host was readily available by email to answer any questions and responded promptly. I would high recommend this house.

Melbourne Ladies

We were a group of ladies who came to Melbourne for a week for the Flower Show, Art Gallery and a day trip to Alba Spa on Mornington Peninsula. Excellent communication with Julie. Very spacious and beautifully decorated apartment. Great location- tram stop outside your door. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Sth Melbourne

Caldera Terrace was a wonderful comfotable, well appointed venue for us to catch up with three other couples from interstate. Its proximity to Sth Melbourne Markets and the CBD made it perfect for a Melbourne laneways, shopping, AFL long weekend.
