Fantastic Cottage in St Kilda.

Great cottage with plenty of space and very comfortable. Felt like you were in your own wee home and everything we could think of was provided. Prue was great and made sure we were settled in and had everything we needed. She was also able to provide us with all the info we needed regarding the local area and transport to CBD and other areas. Two tram stops right next to the property so easy to get everywhere and st kilda great to walk around with some great bars, cafes and resteraunts all within walking distance.

A perfect stay in every way

My recent stay at Garden Cottage, St Kilda was perfect in every way. Host Prue was very welcoming, kind and helpful. The cottage is tastefully presented, well appointed and I loved its secluded, very quiet and peaceful setting. The cosy, sunny patio was a bonus. It’s all about location and Garden Cottage delivered in spades, as it was close to public transport and many of Melbourne’s main attractions. I made very good use of the fully equipped modern kitchenette and my bed was so warm and comfortable, I slept like a baby from the first night. If you’re looking for ambience, comfort and convenience that’s well-priced, look no further than Garden Cottage. Thank you Prue. I hope to return sometime in the future. Gwendoline

Location was central St Kilda, all amenities in walking distance. Tram and Bus Stops metres away. Cottage was very private and secluded given its location. Prue was a great host and very helpful with suggesting things and communicating when needed. Would stay again.

So lucky to find this place - it exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to coming back!

This is truly a beautiful garden studio cottage set in lovely greenery with two small terraces providing both sunny and shady areas - and a wooden table and umbrella outside. Stunning studio with great design, decoration and colours, a well-equppied kitchen, quality bedding and towels plus lovely bathroom toiletries. Fab position, right near cafes, shops and supermarket, plus close to St Kilda Botanical Gardens and St Kilda beach. Also great transport into the city (trams and buses). It's set right off the main street in a wonderful oasis-like area that is unbelievably quiet, cool and private when you step in. Incredible!!!! Plus Prue the host is an absolute delight. She shared her love of people, travelling and Melbourne and was inspiring and helpful about what to do and how. She also leaves an extensive collection of visitor information about local attractions and good restaurant recommendations. A big thank you to Prue for helping make sure we had the best stay possible. We'll definitely come back to this little paradise again :)
