  • We had a fantastic stay in Carlton. The house was warm and cosy and there was plenty of space. The house is on a very quiet street and the beds are super comfortable, it was very restorative. It's such a great location too, in the middle of Carlton but super quiet

  • Such an amazing property and location! We were 3 couples/6 adults and there was more than enough space for all of us, with amazing furnishings and amenities. We went for the comedy festival and all the venues were within walking distance, plus all restaurants we wanted to visit. The keyless entry made check in so smooth and they were extremely flexible with our check in time. 5* property for sure.

  • Can’t say enough good things about this place. It had everything our two families needed, and the kids (all under 4yo) were right at home with plenty of toys and space to play. It was immaculately clean, well appointed, beautiful, in a great location, and a pleasure to be in. We’d happily stay again and recommend to any other families looking for a wonderful stay in Melbourne.

  • We (group 6) recently stayed in this property and had a fantastic time. Lygon St, Museum, Gardens, Supermarket within minutes walk. Loads of space. Multiple areas in the home to enjoy time together. Very responsive and professional hosts. It was peak tennis time and even though rate was prob yielding, was more than worth it as this stay was part of making the trip so great.

  • A really beautiful house in a wonderful location. The house is spacious and well designed. I had a few issues with lack of being able to open windows in the main bedroom during a heat wave - the team were excellent at responding despite it sadly not being able to be rectified. I would highly recommend the property.

  • A beautiful house in a very convenient location. We felt right at home, and had everything we needed. Walking distance from the city and right around the corner from lygon street (restaurants, bars, cinema and a supermarket). There was also a tram stop nearby, although we didn’t need to use public transport. Highly recommend.

    Guest

    November 2025

  • We absolutely LOVED our stay here. The team was extremely responsive, patient with our requests and proactive in suggesting alternatives. Property had everything we needed and more - which is HUGE given we had a 5-month old and older guests in our group. It really felt like a home away from home - which was a beautiful touch as it’s been at least 5 years since my family has stayed under one roof together. Great location - soundproofing needs work but faultless as it’s an older building. 10000% recommend for families ❤️

  • This house is absolutely beautiful and set up so well for our group of 4 sisters on a long weekend trip to Melbourne. We named the front room the Gin Palace 😊 We enjoyed the saloon vibe; perfect for cocktails! The location is excellent. The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly. Loved our stay!

  • Our stay in Carlton was fab for our large family. We were very happy with the communication and if we had any slight issues (rubbish bin outside was full) they were quickly resolved. Lively is extremely responsive and amenable. The location is simply fabulous. Located on a quiet street and so close to heaps of amazing restaurants, coffee and bakeries. Very close to public transport that takes you straight to the city and beyond. We loved it!
