It’s not as accessible from the city as St Kilda as it’s not exactly on the tram or train line, but still only 8km’s away if you have a car, or jump in a cab. The water was clean and calm for swimming and our kids had a great time playing on the sand and the rocks. It’s another fairly active beach and you’ll see people windsurfing, cycling, playing cricket and walking.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130198/8dd52d45-ed6d-4792-aec4-2b6f2fcc52c2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Elwood Beach 3 min drive \- 1.9 miles - ![St. Kilda Beach which includes a sunset and tropical scenes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6159172/ca555662-439a-4311-9369-1b5eb2356829.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) St Kilda Beach 5 min drive \- 3.3 miles - Rippon Lea House and Gardens 3 min drive \- 1.9 miles - Jewish Holocaust Centre 3 min drive \- 1.2 miles - Cabrini Brighton 4 min drive \- 2.2 miles ### Getting around - Gardenvale Station 4 min walk - Flinders Street Station 19 min drive - Melbourne, VIC (MEB-Essendon) 34 min drive ### Restaurants - Martin Street Cafe & Providore 4 min walk - Sushi Baby 14 min walk - St. Martin's 6 min walk - Jim's Fish Shop 19 min walk - The Little Ox 16 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Art Deco Inspired 2 bedroom House - Single Level, Free Wifi and driveway Parking pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Art Deco Inspired 2 bedroom House - Single Level, Free Wifi and driveway Parking? ### What time is check-in at Art Deco Inspired 2 bedroom House - Single Level, Free Wifi and driveway Parking? ### What time is check-out at Art Deco Inspired 2 bedroom House - Single Level, Free Wifi and driveway Parking? ### Where is Art Deco Inspired 2 bedroom House - Single Level, Free Wifi and driveway Parking located? ## Have a question?

Hi Katie We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your property. It felt like our home away from home. You have very thoughtfully provided everything we could need and property was very clean and tidy, and close to train station. We will happily recommend your property to anyone. Thanks for great stay ☺. ##### Mel B.

Everything was super clean and tidy and it had everything you need for a really comfortable stay. The kids loved playing with the toys and the special surprise that was left for them. There is a really great coffee shop just a few doors down which is very handy and the local shops and supermarkets are only a few minutes away. ##### Sarah M.

Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Near impeccable cottage - like a trip back in time This charming little cottage feels like it belongs in the mid 20th century.. Tastefully decorated with features true to the period, this place is a delight to stay in. The absence of Wi-Fi may be a plus for some travellers. There were a couple of very minor maintenance items that could have improved the experience. Side gate could only be close with the key and the lock was difficult to operate. Equally the fly screen door latch was hard to operate as well. But these were very minor things in the context of the overall property ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nomads St Kilda Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Base-Backpackers-Melbourne-Hostel.h1690276.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Melbourne Docklands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Sebel-Melbourne-Docklands.h6819425.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chadstone Melbourne MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Hotel-Chadstone-Melbourne.h33764279.Hotel-Information) > > [Dorsett Melbourne ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Dorsett-Melbourne.h89699120.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Northampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northampton-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d9244-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lanson Place Parliament Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lanson-Place-Parliament-Gardens.h103799356.Hotel-Information) > > [Bronte-an absolute beachfront property- recently upgraded](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Bronte-An-Absolute-Beachfront-Property.h22823711.Hotel-Information) > > [Craig's Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballarat-Hotels-Craigs-Royal-Hotel.h6375093.Hotel-Information) > > [Veriu Queen Victoria Market](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Veriu-Queen-Victoria-Market.h88838086.Hotel-Information) > > [New Beach Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Romney-Marsh-Hotels-New-Beach-Holiday-Park.h39512511.Hotel-Information) > > [St Kilda Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-St-Kilda-Accommodation.h43007149.Hotel-Information) > > [The Motley Hotel Richmond, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Motley-Hotel-Richmond.h89155523.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d619-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Tiverton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Tiverton-Hotels.s50-0-d180636.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Aussie Escape Apartments - Skyline Collins Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Urban-Modern-Apartments.h18340801.Hotel-Information) > > [Lancemore Crossley St Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Lancemore-Crossley-St.h45716692.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Belfast City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belfast-City-Centre-Belfast-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6200265-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Adelphi Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adelphi-Hotel.h43731.Hotel-Information) > > [Melbourne City Apartment Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Adina-Apartment-Hotel-West-Melbourne.h49245786.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Parking in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Parking.0-n6195474-0-thotelwithparking.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Indoor Pools in East Sussex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-East-Sussex-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pools.0-0-d6046200-tHotelswithIndoorPools.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Crown Promenade Melbourne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Crown-Promenade.h2858735.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Apartments Royal Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Royal-Gardens.h425401.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn By Radisson Melbourne Carlton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Melbourne-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel.h40162080.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LON-All Airports) to Berlin (BER-Brandenburg)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lon/ber/london-to-berlin) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Kirkwall (KOI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/koi/edinburgh-to-kirkwall) ### Holiday Rentals ---
