Steve and Viki were absolutely amazing, they never spared an effort helping me around !!
Starting fresh in Australia is not easy, but Steve and Viki treated me like their own son to make me feel home <3
The house is beautiful and tidy, the neighborhood is nice and quiet ..

I'd a great stay. They’re nice and friendly. It was kind of them that they cook special vegetarian dishes for me.The house is cozy, clean and comfortable. I’ll definitely visit again their place! I appreciate all their support during my stay.

House was fine and comfortable. Never met hosts all week! Thought I was staying with them a couple in their sixties but instead was in a house with a young couple and another homestay single man! Left to my own devices all week when the hosts son made an appearance with decorators and proceeded to paint the whole house including all our rooms stinking them out with gloss paint which I had to smell all night. The other homestay and myself were the only ones there at the time and we were not happy. Everything had been covered in thin plastic and the floors were slippery to walk around. I woke with a headache and had a paint taste in my mouth! Disgusting. I was due to leave next morning when he turned up with 3 men to finish decorating. Couldn't wait to get out of the stink.
