We spent the long weekend with family at a beautiful home in Wallington, Victoria. The stunning polished concrete floors made my jaw drop as we walked in – they are so striking and fit the architecture of the house beautifully. Little did I know the tough lesson I was about to learn about the downfalls of polished concrete! It didn’t take long to realise the acoustics were not ideal for a house full of extremely adorable – but very vocal – young children!
Every other aspect of the house was perfect for a holiday with kids. There was a beautiful pool, an in-ground trampoline and climbing equipment; not to mention the huge block of land just waiting to be explored. The bedrooms were down one end of the house and could be closed off, so once the kids went to bed we could be as rowdy as we damn well pleased!
We were a short drive to Ocean Grove beach, where many a mermaid was made. The weather was much cooler and windier in Victoria than what we are experiencing in Sydney at the moment, so it was lucky that we had such a beautiful place to stay and keep out of the weather.
