About the host
Hosted by Viv Brumby
For nearly 30 years, I have called this house home, with my husband and I raising our four children here and filling it with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. Now that our kids are grown, I am delighted to share this special place with other families looking for the perfect setting to create their own unforgettable moments.
Nestled in a stunning location, our home is surrounded by parklands with breathtaking views of the Maribyrnong River. The neighboring park’s playground was a favorite spot when our kids were young, where we spent hours playing, riding bikes along the river, and enjoying BBQs and picnics. From our balcony, we’ve watched countless families celebrating, and we’ve always felt lucky to be part of such a lively and welcoming community.
The outdoor area is one of our favorite features—our 10-meter pool and tropical-style setting make it the perfect retreat to cool off on a hot day, relax with a book and a cool drink, or gather with loved ones.
The balcony remains our ultimate sanctuary, where we start our mornings among the gum trees, often visited by colorful lorikeets. Having worked from home for many years, this peaceful oasis has been a joy, even if our kids always joked that we never had “real jobs.”
With its spacious layout, the house is ideal for large families, multiple families, or groups of friends looking to celebrate special occasions. We take great joy in opening our home to others who appreciate its warm, welcoming atmosphere and the beauty of its green and waterside surroundings.
If you choose Brum’s Place for your family gathering or special event, we hope it brings you as much happiness as it has brought us.
