Vicki has been a great host and very accommodating the entire time I stayed. I initially booked for one month as I didn't know if I would remain in Melbourne past that, but ended up staying for several months. Vicki was very helpful and facilitated my needs for accommodation — which was especially helpful as it was my first time in Melbourne and I didn't know anyone or any of the areas.
Thanks for everything & it was a pleasure to meet you all, and all those who stayed during my time there.
All the best to you and your family!

Vicki is the best host you could imagine, very friendly and caring! We are so grateful to have started our Australian adventure in her house. The house was perfectly clean and everything was done to make us feel at home. We could not have asked for a better location. Overall a wonderful place; we would stay here again easily!
Thank you for taking good care of us. Emma & ClémentOctober 2019
This guest awarded the host 4 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.

Vicky is the BEST host ever! She is so hospitable and polite and helped me to start my life in Australia. The house is spacious, beautiful and clean and I feel at home. I have extended for quite a long time and I recommend this house to everyone.

Vicki was very generous in her care for my daughter who had a two-week student nurse placement at Frankston Hospital. It was a relief to know she was in a caring environment, and we are very grateful for Vicki's homestay and the friends our daughter made there.

It was definitely right decide to stay with Vicki. Her house is like an Oasis. Quiet and clean. Gorgeous and amazing house with stilfull and wonderful interiors.
Furthermore is Vicky a very kind and lovely woman with much sense of humor. She is very helpful and tries to answer on all questions. She is always very eager and makes an effort for her guests. I think she is a good example for other host.
No question, at the next visiting in Melbourne I am going to return to her.Host reply

I stayed there for more than a week for a working trip in Frankston. This is a great place to stay. Everything inside the house is clean, nice and tidy. The area is very quiet and scenery is magnificent. I particularly like the pond nearby that I can walk there from the house. Last but not the least, the host, vicki is friendly, helpful and even supportive to me during my stressful work. This is a good place to stay for work or leisure.

Hi Karl
Thank you for a great review - it has been a real pleasure to have you stay with me - you have been a wonderful guest. It's great that you mentioned that my house is clean and tidy as I know guests really love this and I am always striving to keep it that way. Thank you for extending your stay with me too:) Regards, VickiMarch 2017
It was a great experience for me and my 8 year-old boy.
On the first day, we were received by Vicki who is a warm person and she immediately made us feel at home. She showed us to our room which was very clean and tidy. The best part is the bed which is so comfy, my boy and I slept so well. She also gave us a quick tour around the house - the living room is spacious, the kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom is clean. My boy loves taking baths in the bath tub. Vicki is very helpful, and she provided us with plenty of information on places to go, with maps and brochures. I am deeply grateful to her for her patience and kindness she has shown towards my boy who is very active and can be naughty. It feels like I am staying with a friend. I will want to come back and stay with her again on my future trips to Melbourne and will definitely recommend my friends and relatives to stay with her if they do visit Melbourne.Host reply
Thank you Cyndia for your fabulous review. It was a real pleasure to have you both stay with me and I thoroughly enjoyed having you both stay. You were so lovely to host and showed such immense respect - thank you. I want you back!!! We have so much to do!! Regards, Vicki

You should have a 6 hearts rating for this Host, the accommodation was superb, and Vicki is a caring helpful host.
Frankston is an ideal centre for all that is good about the Mornington Peninsula, and we were lucky to feed wallabies and their tiny joeys, as well as visiting the Dandenong ranges, not to forget the Phillip Island little penguins. Recommend this to anyone wanting to see the best of the peninsula with its own Ocean Road.
