We came to Melbourne for a family birthday and this house was great for 3 couples. Lots of space and homely touches, and the heater and gas fireplace were perfect for a cold winter's weekend.

Overall would highly recommend. For 3 couples bedtooms were perfect with 3 Queen rooms. Chatham Station at the end of the road was a short walk, and train to MCG easy to navigate. Coles express 24hour at the end of the road handy, and no through road great for low traffic noise.

Fantastic Stay!
Maria was a pleasure to deal with and was extremely hospitable during our 4 night stay. The house was amazing with large rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen, dining and living areas were open plan with lovely art and furnishings. I would highly recommend Maria's cottage and would love to stay again in the future. Thanks again Maria.
