“We had the best time staying at Alison & Gary’s home in Brunswick. It truly felt like our home from home. They are such easygoing and accommodating owners. Everything from a pram, travel cot and groceries in the fridge on arrival were supplied to make our stay so hassle free as possible. The house is so spacious, comfortable and in a beautiful part of Brunswick close to parks & tasty cafes. We can’t wait to keep in touch with Alison & Gary and welcome them to our homes in Cornwall & Ireland anytime. ”

Alison's reviews
As a host (3)“We have just spent a wonderful week in Alison & Gary’s home in Brunswick. Their home is modern, spacious, well equipped and a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the interesting surrounds. The house is well designed with many different spaces to relax and enjoy a holiday. Alison & Gary were flexible, good communicators, the kitchen was well stocked & their home was beautifully clean. Melbourne is a fabulous place for a holiday with much to offer, we highly recommend this great home & look forward to hosting Alison & Gary next year. Linda & Marie”
“the exchange with Alison and Gary was exceptional. a non-simultaneous home exchange, but being able to stay in neighbouring homes it seemed to us to meet relatives overseas. warmth, affection, attention, empathy, availability, all details that made us feel like part of the family. after more than a month spent near them, now we can't wait for them to come to us, just for the pleasure of being together. having said that the house is beautiful, well kept and well equipped. the location is convenient, close to a park in a very quiet place. transportation to go to the city centre is nearby. we loved this house. Brunswick is a culturally interesting folkloric area with a variety of typical shops. Melbourne is Melbourne ! we hope to be able to return.”
