We had a family room withbalcony which accommodated our two adult children and us. Twinbeds worked great for our adult twins. The kitchen facilities were more than we expected as we ate in most of the fime after busy days. The location is top notch for St. KILDA beaching and getting to the aussie open tennis. The staff was very accommodating and helpful in all ways.
