The location is perfect being so close to Port Melbourne beach, tram with quick access to the city as well as a short stroll to the variety of cafes and supermarket on Bay St. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

We stayed at Port Cottage for a long weeks with our dogs!It was perfectly appointed with easy access to trams, shops, eateries, pubs and excellent Melbourne coffee!! There is also a beautiful dog friendly park with lots of friendly locals! We used Mad Paws to find a local dog sitter while we were out of the house for the day! The cottage is perfectly adequate, comfortable beds and everything we needed for a city stay.

Very good location, close to Bay street and the tram although you can walk to the city in only 30mins if you wanted. Coles supermarket just 5mins walk away as well. Our dog appreciated being able to do his business out the back if raining otherwise he could visit the plentiful parks in the area. 2 fantastic cafe/bakeries just a stones throw away also. Would recommend.
