About this property

Families travelling with children will love the climbing slide and outdoor play table, giving little ones their own space to play while everyone enjoys the fresh air.
The primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with a queen bed and heritage styling, while the second bedroom features two king single beds alongside books and toys for younger guests.

A laundry with a washing machine and drying rack adds convenience for longer stays.

Please note: The fireplaces are decorative only and not functional. As the home is located beside a train line, some train noise may be heard. However, highly efficient secondary glazing helps keep the interior quiet, cool, and comfortable.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Positioned in one of Northcote's most walkable pockets, the home is just a short stroll from vibrant High Street and Westgarth Village. Running through the heart of the village, High Street was named the "Coolest Street in the World" by Time Out in 2024, celebrated for its vibrant mix of independent businesses, diverse dining, thriving arts scene and welcoming community spirit.
Start the day with coffee at Todo Good Coffee before exploring local favourites including Hanami Izakaya, Ruckers Hill, Primo, Little Flock, Elmo's and Khaomai. Unwind with a drink at Donny's, Low Key or Merri Creek Tavern, then catch a film at the iconic Westgarth Cinema, a beloved cultural landmark.
