The perfect stay!
Our second stay at Heidi & Tim's place! It is such a gem. Very clean, kid friendly and the perfect location. We were nervous about having 1 bathroom for our family, but the way the property is set up -- it worked out fine! The huge soaking tub, shower and sink are separate from the toilet. The beds are super comfy, which is hard for us to find! Great linens, plenty of towels and blankets. The back deck was our favorite hang out spot. The neighbors are lovely and inviting. It's a happy place and the hosts couldn't be more kind and helpful. We'll be back!

The sweetest stay ever
We traveled far from the US and didn’t know anyone. Our hosts have become our first friends here! Upon arrival, they had everything we could ever need and more. Special toys and little details to make the children and adults feel at home. The home is very clean, the beds are all comfy and the neighborhood is just lovely. The walk along the creek to the beach and town is just perfection. We’re staying at least another month! If you’re looking for a host who cares and a relaxing stay, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a gem for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi McKerracher

Host profile image
I’m from Melbourne- I was raised in St. Kilda & my family moved to Murrumbeena. The Mordi Gem 💎 was the first property I purchased in my 20s. I have lived in it & rented it out so others can enjoy it too. I lived here with my husband & children when they were born. We knew we had to find a larger home to raise our family but we were very reluctant to leave. We found our forever home live Ocean Grove & made the big country change! We love Ocean Grove but are so lucky to hold onto our Gem & visit for a city stay!
We enjoy looking after people. The kids help me prepare The Gem sometimes. I enjoy cleaning it & preparing it for guests. I do spend a lot of time making sure you will feel special & comfortable. From fresh linen & linen spray to comfy bedding & yummy treats. We have you covered ❤️

Why they chose this property

Gipps Avenue is chosen by many locals as the best street in Mordi. Quiet but oh so central. A street away from the creek, up the road from the milkbar & school with the shops a short stroll away.
Recently, the industrial area at the end of the street has boomed with cool & funky art, cafes & businesses including street art from famous street artists, vintage shops, breweries, restaurants & a chocolate shop! Hot choc on a cold day 😋
You can find a Farmers Market in the reserve on Govenor Rd- next to the creek from time to time.
The Gem is so quiet. It’s tucked in between 2 wonderful neighbours- the entire complex is lovely. You still feel a part of the street from the elevated deck.

What makes this property unique

It’s private as you can walk straight onto the deck from the street! It’s the second property in- buffered from the street albeit a very quiet anyhow.
A huge front grassed area makes for a lot of space to spread around or for kids to play.
Unlimited ducted heating, split system air conditioning & hot water. A heat light in the bathroom & fans make the home very comfortable.
Many other properties restrict the use of hot water, heating & cooling. We do not. We want you to be as comfortable in the home as we are when we stay!
