Our home is a two storey 6 bedroom home near a very big Shopping Centre in one of Melbourne's thriving and fastest growing suburb. It is close to the Werribee Mansion an estate formerly owned by one of the Pioneers of Victoria during the Gold Rush era. Nearby are also the Victoria State Rose Garden, Open Range Zoo, Market Gardens, Beaches , etc. My husband originally came from New Zealand and of Scottish descent while i originally came from the Philippines. The house is quite spacious for a group or family . We have 3 rooms with queen size beds and 2 rooms with single beds. The backyard is big and ideal for Summer barbecues. I am flexible with my time as i am self-employed. I could make time to be your tour guide if needed.

放心，開心，舒心的寄宿之旅！
我和兒子來自香港，我們是第一次選擇寄宿家庭。Melba和Robbert夫婦很熱情，有愛心，居住的環境寬敞，乾淨，舒服。
第一天Melba親自開車到City接我們到家。游玩到晚上末歸時，Melba都會致電問，是否開車來接應；有一天晚上特別寒冷，他們特意打開房間暖氣讓我取暖睡覺....在這4天裡，我們感覺就像回到墨爾本自已的家一樣，很享受。我非常樂意推薦給大家，希望有更多的人們可以享受到Melba家熱情的款待。

We loved staying with Melba in HOppers Crossing. I would definately recommend them. They are both very hospitable and friendly. They really know how to look after guests in their home.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
