    I had a really great stay at grace's house ! I when arrived directly from France she was really helping me to make my way out of the airport. She even offers me to meet me at the station or the airport (even though I was not in the right place LOL). The room is nice and the house is amazing ! Grace is adorable, she make me feel like a part of the family even though my stay was short. She took me to the restaurant and even offers me some rides to other places. She is always available and with good advices on what to do and where to go ! The house is not in the center but the area is really calm, so it's amazing and the beach is not far in bus.
    Thank you grace you're an amazing person !!

    Glad you had a good time at our Cosy home in southeastern suburbs.
    Glad you took up the trip to the 12 Apostles and more as you explore Australia that is wide and central to the southern hemisphere. I’ll be more than happy to extend the invitation for future visits. Your visit has been exemplary as well.

    It is very rare(at least with me) to find a comfortable place to stay in as a student. I find myself lucky to have been with Grace and family. From cooking, to driving to work together, to hanging out and sharing stuff, there has never been a sense of togetherness as strong as this one with someone who was a stranger to you before. Grace has been very generous throughout my stay and always made me feel part of the family. I have immense gratitude in my heart for whatever I have received from her. She makes a great host and there is no two ways about it. This has been my home away from home and I thank the entire family for having me as part of their lives.

    My family and I were truly blessed to have stayed with Grace.
    We came to Australia with no family and friends. But that is not the case anymore.

    For someone who is going to reallocate permanently to Australia, Grace was very helpful, informative and proactive in guiding us in every possible way.
    We felt that we were at home, although thousands of miles away from ours.

    I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Victoria to live with Grace and her wonderful family.

    Warm Regards,
    Shafaq & family from Dubai.

    Grace is a awesome women and her home is nice to stay in the Melbourne suburb.
    All the time it was a very warm welcome and she involved me in the daily routine.
    Grace supports me continuously and find solutions for my daily trips to Melbourne CBD. Usually it takes time to found out how it all works in Melbourne but with Grace at my side,
    I could combine business and vacation excellent without loosing time.
    I recommend this homestay with "five hearts" due reasons like hospitality, support & simplicity. For me Grace is doing more than a normal guest host.
    Thanks Grace, Maik & Uta (Germany)

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.
