Hi my beautiful home is located in the very popular Elsternwick. I live with my daughter (aged 21) and our two mini schnauzers. We also have a foster cat who has failed to find a new home, although it’s probably safe to say, she’s part of the family now! There are two large bedrooms available, one with four poster queen bed and another with a king single bed. They both have desks and wardrobes. There is also a bed available in my office for special guests. The house is large so it can easily accommodate more people. The combined kitchen, lounge and dining is open plan and at the rear of the house overlooking the timber deck, garden and veggie patch. We are keen travellers and love meeting new people and experiencing new things. We are sustainable vegans/vegetarians trying to reduce our footprint and prefer people sharing the same philosophy. All bills such as gas, electricity and internet are included in this price. I can negotiate with the right person , let’s start chatting today about your needs to see if you’d like to stay in our friendly, cosy home ;)

Elsternwick is a beautiful leafy suburb with access to all public transport including trams, trains and buses. It is a very safe neighbourhood with little to no crime.
Our house is close to shops, the beach and the city. There are great restaurants and cafes close by and very friendly neighbours.
The Ripponlea train station is only a short walk away. We are approximately 10km from the CBD so close enough for an easy commute to the city.
We are also close to the beach and bus that services Monash University Caulfield campus.

How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
