THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Coburg (like any Inner Northern suburb in Melbourne) is a fantastic place to live and stay, and has really held onto a wonderful multi-cultural vibrancy - in our educated opinion, it's the side to be on! Let me humour you;

It has the lightest, fluffiest falafel in all of Australia at one of the many reasonably priced Middle Eastern food shops.

The Post Office Dining Hall/Cafe and Hotel (see pics at end of listing) is stylish, beautiful and just around the corner (a great place to have dinner, listen to some fantastic live music or sit in the awesome leafy beer garden with a pint.

There is a new cafe just around the corner called 'True North' which we love and it's quintessentially 'Melbourne'.

The 'Eastern Block' and 'East Timor' are 2 other great cafes nearby. There are new cafes popping up everywhere at the moment! The quirky Woodlands Hotel is also nearby and well worth a visit.

And then, well Sydney Rd and Lygon street are fantastic and well worth a tram ride in when you're on your way to the city with lots of stop-off points! Be sure to visit Green – a cafe at the end of Sydney Rd in Brunswick for some amazing home-cooked goodness at cheap prices or Ray for breakfast.

Also nearby is CERES, an environmental park with a cafe, farmers markets/stalls, a fantastic nursery and community vegie patches/initiatives.

There is also a COBURG FARMERS MARKET. It's on every 2nd and 4th Sat of the month at Coburg North Primary School - lots of awesome produce there.
Our neighbour, Brunswick (we are nearly on the border) is full of trendy cafes, shops, pubs, bars, restaurants, parks etc

TRANSPORT
Our house has excellent fast access to transport of all kinds. Firstly, trams and trains are literally just around the corner, making it super easy to get into the city or other places along the way such as Brunswick (neighbour), Melbourne uni, the hospitals, Queen Vic markets for fresh food or the Royal Melbourne Zoo!

In addition, right behind our house is a bike track which goes into the city.


THE LOCATION
The house is a 1 minute walk to the nearby attractions of the vibrant, iconic Sydney Rd, 3 large supermarkets (Woolworths and 2x Coles), independent delis, butchers, fish mongers, spice shops, an abundance of delicious and cheap Turkish food, the Post Office Dining Hall/Cafe + Pub around the corner (see pics in gallery), True North, East Timor Cafe, The Eastern Block cafe, hairdressers, beauty salons, The Woodlands Hotel, parks, trains and trams.

LOCATED BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE AIRPORT
The house is situated ideally between the airport and the city making it a quick car/cab trip costing around $30. Quick and easy access to the CityLink, a major arterial road which skirts around the city, making it super easy to access CBD, and all sides of Melbourne.

Overall, I was pleased with my stay!
The home is a great location for public transported, supermarkets, pharmacy and restaurants, etc. I used the front and back house. The front house is a little dated. The windows and doors are old and have character, but some of the doors and windows do not seal properly which causes insects to get into the house. Also the carpet inside the front house has stains throughout the house and the carpet needs to be replaced.The back property is newer and in better condition, but there are locks on the windows and you can't let in fresh air. It becomes a bit stuffy inside the 2nd house. Also I would have loved to have instructions on how to use the thermostat and oven.

Family Xmas Holiday
Overall the Yellow Door Boutique Accommodation in Coburg is a great property for larger group stay. The layout of the 2 houses on the site allows for enjoyable communal spaces to be enjoyed by all. The mix of multiple bedrooms & bathrooms provides ample amenities. The owner/property manager attended to any request very promptly. Location very handy to transport links & local shopping area. Would recommend this property to any groups looking to holiday in Melbourne.

Great large house
Great house, had family down in Melbourne for our son 1st birthday and was great to have everyone stay in the one house. Good quick communication with owner. Lawns just needed a good mow.

Perfect property for large group. Easily slept 10 guests. Highly recommend.
Front house is lovely. Good size kitchen and facilities. Back house great for group to relax. Nice touch having Foxtel premium in both houses. Beds, rooms, and bathrooms well laid out, well stocked, all making for a very comfortable stay. Coburg may be a little far out for some, however Dan Murphy's and Woolies are nearby and suburb has it's own character, only a short train or cab to Brunswick or City. Entry is easy and extensive email with instructions and tips sent before hand. Would definitely return with a group of 8+ again.

Room for improvement
Property suited our group of 13 family members. Bedrooms a good size, living area smaller than it appeared in the photos but we managed. The heating system was inadequate and we resorted to wearing coats....didn't help that it was one of the coldest weekends in Melbourne! Some areas could do with an update...shower screen didnt close properly and the fan did not work. I have to mention the step into the main bedroom ensuite. This needs to be made safer...I actually fell and injured my foot. It needs something to make you aware of the step. Took a lot longer than expected for the security deposit to be refunded. Overall we enjoyed the stay and would recommend it.
