House was amazing and perfect for our large group. Full of history and loads of space.
Yarraville was a delight, easy access to transport and so handy to shops and restaurants.
Brenda was easy to communicate with.
Very historic property, all the bathrooms very modern and up to date. So much character. Yarraville itself was an amazing little pocket with so much to explore
Im so happy to have found this delightful house, what a gem! This is a beautiful manor house tucked in not far from everything you need, but feeling like a world away 💚 With plenty of large bedrooms,(with comfy warms beds) and the comfortable kitchen/dining and lounge spaces, my friends and I all had plenty of space to just relax and enjoy each other's company. With transport, shops and eateries only a short walk away, this was our perfect base for our catch up. Brenda was really easy to communicate with and gave us lots of helpful info in a welcome letter. Much appreciated, 💚👏
We had so much fun staying in this gorgeous and impressive mansion. There was plenty of room for two families, and lots of bathrooms. It’s a very short walk to restaurants, cafes and shops in a delightful village. Our host made it all very easy and gave great tips on where to eat.
We stayed at this home as a family of 9 and found it a wonderful place as the base for our Melbourne visit. This property is a unique opportunity to experience a grand house from a bygone era but with all the comforts of the modern. Brenda was very helpful and responsive to our questions. The house was spacious, warm and inviting during a cold winter. It was great to have just a short walk to the vibrant Yarraville village centre with nice cafes and entertainment, plus transport to the city. Would highly recommend this accommodation. I'm sure we'll be back!
We had a lovely weekend in Brenda's very large and comfortable house. Yarraville is a great location close to Melbourne CBD and Port Melbourne, with many dining options. We would love to stay again.
5 couples enjoyed our annual long weekend. We have been doing this for 18 years and this house was one of the best. Very well equipped, location to lovely village was perfect. Had lots of fun exploring close to home!
This fantastic historic house it spacious and beautiful and located in the middle of a great neighbourhood close to the city. A memorable and wonderful experience! Can’t wait to be back!
This 1890s stately home has been updated with lovely bathrooms and kitchen. Comfortably accommodated 8 of us and had everything we needed for a great visit to Melbourne. Yarraville has many cafes and restaurants as well as interesting shops. The rail station makes it easy to get into the city or connect to other places in Melbourne. A great stay.
Great location close to restaurants and shops. Very large historical house with plenty of room for a large family. Would definitely recommend and stay there again. Brenda the host was very accommodating
Brenda has been very accommodating to our special needs, could not ask for more

Beautiful house in a fantastic location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Huntly, a beautifully restored house with plenty of room for all of us (four adults and three kids). Brenda was a very welcoming and helpful host. Big highlight was the fantastic location, just a stone’s throw from the centre of Yarraville, with countless cafes and eateries, as well as the train station, making it very easy to pop into the city.

Homely Mansion
We had a wonderful stay in this restored mansion . The location was just fantastic being 5 minutes walk from restaurants and train station and only 15 mins by train to the city . There was more than enough room for everyone and the beds were super comfortable in spacious bedrooms with high ceilings. Modern bathrooms and a huge kitchen with lots of character made this an epic stay . Would definetly stay here again.

A luxurious Victorian experience
The owner has been renovating this grand Victorian mansion gradually for some years, and she has made it a lovely place to stay. Spacious rooms, high ceilings, five bedrooms (one yet to be furnished) and four bathrooms, with a huge kitchen and large garden. And all just a two-minute walk from the atmospheric village that is Yarraville's shopping centre. We were a family group of seven, three couples, one single, and it was perfect for such a grouping. Nice little touches too that made us feel welcome, like a large lemon wrapped up as a Christmas present! It's a big property, and the garden is still a work in progress, but it had all it needed to be a perfect place for us to stay.

An Amazing Place to Stay
I stayed here with 6 other ladies on a Girls Weekend in early November. It was absolutely fabulous! Brenda was an exceptional host who did everything she could to make our stay enjoyable and relaxed, nothing was too much trouble for her! She is very passionate about her home and had a wealth of very interesting information to tell us about the historical mansion that she is lovingly restoring. All the beds were super comfortable to sleep in and the bathrooms were newly renovated and modern.
The location of the house was perfect for us, situated in a quiet street and a very short walk to the quaint Yarraville Village and the train station. It was an easy train trip into the city and also to Williamstown.
A huge thank you, Brenda, from us all! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in your beautiful home and hope to return for another special weekend in the future.
