Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Port Cottage. Everything was as described on the website. The location was convenient to all my needs, is a well presented home and the neighbourhood was very quiet which is a huge bonus. The yard was secure and safe for my pet. Would stay at Port Cottage again if the need arose.

We enjoyed our stay so much!!The perfect little house that was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for the week stay with our dog.We enjoyed the back courtyard to sit outside on the warm evenings. The location is perfect being so close to Port Melbourne beach, tram with quick access to the city as well as a short stroll to the variety of cafes and supermarket on Bay St. Would highly recommend and would stay again!

We stayed at Port Cottage for a long weeks with our dogs!It was perfectly appointed with easy access to trams, shops, eateries, pubs and excellent Melbourne coffee!! There is also a beautiful dog friendly park with lots of friendly locals! We used Mad Paws to find a local dog sitter while we were out of the house for the day! The cottage is perfectly adequate, comfortable beds and everything we needed for a city stay.

Very good location, close to Bay street and the tram although you can walk to the city in only 30mins if you wanted. Coles supermarket just 5mins walk away as well. Our dog appreciated being able to do his business out the back if raining otherwise he could visit the plentiful parks in the area. 2 fantastic cafe/bakeries just a stones throw away also. Would recommend.

Port Melbourne visit

We were very disappointed with our stay. Location was excellent, accommodation was clean, beds comfortable but:No consideration was given to visitors arriving late at night. No lights meant retrieving key from key lock box very difficult. No interior lights meant fumbling for a light switch. No milk to make a cup of tea after a five hour flight, the only thing in the fridge was a sealed bottle of dressing - bizarre, seriously? Gas on hotplates was turned on when we arrived. No welcome pack - if WIFI was connected (as stated on listing), no information was provided on how to connect.Entrance to property was covered in leaves and bird poo - didn't appear to have been cleaned for some time.Upholstery on lounge furniture cracked, no hairdryer, no shampoo. No milk supplied but plentiful cleaning product but none of it 'green' as described on listing - we didn't travel to Melbourne to clean.Ugly plastic adhesive hooks on the wall looked cheap and were not strong enough to hold a bath towel, so fell off the wall in middle of night.This was not budget accommodation so just a little expense could have been spared to make it more welcoming.

Cosy place in quiet area a stone's throw from CBD

Very secure yard for dogs, everything we needed was provided. Lovely place, very clean and easy to keep clean with kids/pets. So convenient having a corner store and cafe a couple minutes walk away, and we walked into DFO with the kids a very easy stroll. The running track took me right to the casino complex in just over kilometer or so. Julie gave us timely check in info and was easy to communicate with. Would happily stay again.

Very close to Melbourne CBD and Melbourne Park (as we stayed for Australian Open, 15 mins drive away is super convenient). The house is on a quiet street in a friendly neighbourhood with a small grocery shop (sells milk, eggs, coffee too) 150 m away, all sorts of eateries and Coles supermarket on bay street which is about 10 mins walk away. The house is very clean and well maintained. It has a washing machine, a backyard, split air cons( although it is quite cool in summer so you may not even need it )and everything else you might need for a short stay. Ample street parking, tram and bus nearby but driving is quick and easy so we didn’t use public transport. There is an off leash dog park along the tram line next to north port hotel where you can take your dog inside to eat. The owner Julie was wonderful with communications. The TV somehow broke down on third day during our stay, Julie not only came over to check for me straightaway, but also bought a new set and delivered it to us the same day! BTW a dog beach is also within walking distance at the end of bay street, where my dog had a great time running around. All in all, perfect place to stay if you have a small family with dogs or if stay for an event near Melbourne CBD. Thanks Julie and Craig for your wonderful house and hospitality! We will sure come back!

It's a basic little cottage

The location is great, with a milk bar and cafe a short walk away. The main bathroom is off the main bedroom, which could make it awkward for some family or friend groups, but it worked for us. The air con is effective, the high ceilings make it airy. The smart TV was a little bit wobbly with Netflix crashing constantly for us (so we watched YouTube!). It's less than 10 minutes walk to the main drag of Port Melbourne, where there's an always-open supermarket and an array of different restaurants and shops.
