A COLLECTION OF OUR GUEST REVIEWS

~Taken from Airbnb, Google & our Guest Book~

In simple words Julie and Ron are exemplary people/hosts. We can go over the word limit here but still don’t think we can do justice. Super clean and friendly getaway spot. Don’t think twice and book it!

Ebrahim & Family - September 2019 (Flamingo Room)

Julie and Ron were very accommodating and made us feel at home. Great beds, unique style and they provided us with a fresh breakfast. Would highly recommend.

Emma & Friends - August 2019 (Flamingo & Napier Rooms)

The accommodation was an absolute delight. Such kind and special hosts. Every detail well thought out.

Colleen - June 2019 (Napier Room)

Whenever we wish to have a stopover on the way to Melbourne we stay at Julie and Ron’s. The bed is comfortable and Netflix, good. The amenable hosts provide access to fairly generous interesting Art Deco shared space. We enjoy catching up with them as well.

Angela & Frank - April 2019 (Napier Room)

Looking for a place to stay? Look no further: you found it. Beautiful home: stylish and sparkling clean with everything you could possibly need or want. Julie and Ron are both wonderful hosts: they will make you feel so welcome and they have great tips about the local area. I loved my stay and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Natasha - February 2019 (Napier Room)

Most stylish Airbnb I ever did see. This place has everything you need and more. Super professional hosts too.

Kevin - October 2018 (Flamingo Room)

Want somewhere local to Wodonga to stay, close to amenities etc. And somewhere different? Take a trip back in time. Not just the usual comfy bed, great shower room, kitchen etc but a home filled with objects of yesteryear. So interesting but with all modern conveniences. And a delightful couple who made me feel very welcome in their home. This is how it ought to be. Thanks Julie and Ron. Brilliant.

Russ - September 2018 (Napier Room)

Julie and Ron are more than Super Hosts....they are Super Duper Hosts and deserve all the accolades I can give them. Their home was spotless, very comfy and welcoming. They looked after me like I was family and I can't thank them enough. From the bottom of my heart, Julie and Ron, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Annie - July 2018 (Napier Room)

Once again a great place to stay to break our trip to Melbourne. Preferable to a motel. Warm and cosy to stay here in winter. Comfy bed with Netflix and amenable hosts.

Angela - May 2018 (Napier Room)

Awesome house, I was on a honeymoon with my husband and wanted to take pictures on this trip. Julie was very warm and helped us to take special photos. If I come to Australia, I will definitely stay here again.

Gaojing - April 2018 (Flamingo Room)

Highly recommend this outstandingly exquisite and wonderful place. 5 stars are not enough, this place is off the scale! You will feel like you have stepped into another time and place. These guys are fantastic hosts and really kind and generous with those extra touches that make your stay extra special. The Art Deco is fascinating, there is lots to look at. Great for local info and definitely the cleanest house I’ve ever been in!

Katelnd - March 2018 (Napier Room)

Julie’s home is a treasure trove of Art Deco life, furnishings and memorabilia. We appreciated being greeted fairly late into the evening and after settling, a welcome tipple with a sherry. Very comfortable clean bedrooms and great continental breakfast options, which helped before continuing our road trip. Many thanks to great Superhosts.

Robyn & Susan - March 2018 (Napier & Flamingo Rooms)

This is a fun place to stay. Ron and Julie warmly welcome you to their beautifully restored Art Deco gem that they have filled with a fabulous collection of retro furniture and ornaments. The place is comfortable, clean and spacious with a cafe across the road and only 3 minutes into the heart of Wodonga. Its keenly priced and great value!

Mark - February 2018 (Napier Room)

My only regret about staying at this amazing deco home was that we arrived late in the evening so as not to have nearly enough time in the morning to admire Ron and Julie's amazing collection of beautiful items. Every corner of the house made me swoon. We used both rooms and each was so wonderfully furnished. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. And the bathroom, oh my, it's a testament to their flair for decorating. Ron and Julie were the perfect hosts, making us feel very welcome. And they kindly sent me my left behind item immediately. I highly recommend staying here.

Ngare - January 2018 (Napier & Flamingo Rooms)

I stayed here for 23 nights for a work trip. Julie and Ron went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. Everything was clean and well looked after and they made sure I had everything I needed. They gave me helpful tips about the area and we shared some splendid meals and laughs together. I was truly sad to leave and would highly recommend their beautiful space and company.

Juliana - January 2018 (Napier Room)

This was once again a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean and we felt at home. We spent some time chatting with Julie and Ron which was nice, but also had the other wing of the place to ourselves for most of the time. Netflix was great.

Angela & Frank - December 2017 (Flamingo Room)

We had the most wonderful stay at Julie & Ron’s. They were lovely hosts. We had an enjoyable & informative chat with them. The house is immaculate & you can see how much love is put into the place. The bathroom & kitchen are beautifully restored. It’s been a real pleasure & looking forward to come & stay again. Julie & Ron have certainly set the bar high for other airbnbs.

Liza & Din - December 2017 (Napier Room)

We stayed at Julie and Ron's and loved their home and their hospitality. Our bed was very comfortable and the home was extremely clean. Great lounge chairs too. Ron and Julie are excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome away from home in their beautifully restored Art Deco Home. We will be back.

Ed & Janet - November 2017 (Flamingo Room)

Dear Julie and Ron, dad and I just arrived in Wollongong for tonight. We both agree that you are very good people with a kind and warm heart which can be felt from looking into your eyes. We must say that last night was the best Airbnb evening we have ever experienced so far. We do not take it as granted for truly kind people are rare to find. All the best, hopefully we will meet again in the future.
I wish I could be a poet to praise how amazing and wonderful hosts that Julie & Ron really are. Dad and I were kindly and carefully looked after when we stayed in the Julie & Ron's. The decoration in the room and the entire house. Thanks very much for being so nice to us.  

​Best regards, Ron from China.

October 2017 (Napier Room)

Julie and Ron are excellent hosts, warm and welcoming. The house has been beautifully restored to its Art Deco glory and is filled with interesting decorative items. Warm, clean, comfortable and spacious this is a great AirBnB. Access to kitchen and amenities all great. Lovely fruit served at breakfast ... there were lots of considerate touches. Highly recommended!!!!

Thank You Julie and Ron for your hospitality. You are great hosts, real naturals at making people feel at home.

Sue & David - Sept/October 2017 (Flamingo Room)

Julie and Ron's place is beautiful and they are such lovely hosts! I would recommend it to anyone. The perfect homely experience while away from home.

Grace - September 2017 (Napier Room)

Julie's home is absolutely beautiful, the furnishings are fabulous and comfortable, if you like art deco your in for a treat. Thank you Julie for being such a thoughtful and fun host.

Sharon & Charlie - July 2017 (Flamingo Room)

This is a beautiful home with hosts that absolutely have set up to make it feel like you a visiting a very kind family of your own. Absolute privacy, and all the trimmings of breakfast supplies, comfy bed and bathroom in such a beautiful house. I was so lucky to also be gifted some lovely produce and plants from the garden ! Thank you so much !

Amelia - July 2017 (Napier Room)

虽然已经是七十年的House,但是硬件条件非常好,感觉是新房子一样。主人夫妇很有品味,一早就有古老的西部音乐(黑胶唱片)陪伴早餐,油丁,地暖,电热毯,感觉好有爱!男主人还热心的制作咖啡和巧克力,聊的很开心。值得推荐

峰 & Julie - June 2017 (Napier Room)

Truely the most outstanding Airbnb I could imagine. Better than a 5 star hotel as Julie and Ron throw in the true warmth and love of their amazing home. My daughter and I were so comfortable and cared for. Thank you so much to both Julie and Ron for welcoming us into your delightful home. Can't wait to come back for another visit!

Janette & Eden- June 2017 (Flamingo Room)

We loved staying here and it was our first Airbnb experience - so a really great beginning. We stayed in the Flamingo room which was spacious and had everything you could want - a super comfy bed, air con, TV and access to kitchen and lounge. The home is beautifully restored and Julie's artwork and creativity is everywhere on display ... such a joy. Enjoyed our chat with Ron. All good.

Carol & Mike - March 2017 (Flamingo Room)

What an astonishing and unexpected pleasure it was to stay with Julie and Ron. The house is stunning - a beautiful, meticulous restoration of a fine old art deco house. I was only there for the night, unfortunately, but intend to stay again... and also to visit with friends. Their hospitality was warm, generous and thoughtful, and I was disappointed to have to leave, and to interrupt the conversation. I unreservedly recommend a stay in this house. It won't stay secret for long.

Kym - February 2017 (Flamingo Room)

Julie and Ron are great hosts! We highly recommend their home to others who are either passing through the Albury-Wodonga area, or coming for a short-stay like we did. They are continuing to work on their lovely Art Deco home, and have made the inside incredibly comfortable and welcoming. We stayed during the February heatwave and were kept cool by their AC. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome, providing helpful information about the local area, and generously providing special care for our daughter. Allowing us to return after checkout time following our kayak trip to shower was very considerate. We loved the restoration work done on the Art Deco house and appreciate their attention to detail. Ron was busy refreshing the paint on the exterior with colours from original era. The living areas were fun and comfortable, while the bedrooms were spacious and tastefully appointed. It makes for a thoroughly enjoyable stay!

Richard & Lynlee - February 2017 (Flamingo Room)

This place is welcoming, clean, fresh and so much more. The Art Deco style brings character to the whole experience of staying here. I was even offered the use of an old record player. The hosts are friendly and very keen to make your stay relaxed and comfortable. I particularly appreciated the quality of the bed linen, mattress and pillows. The breakfast menu was comprehensive and 'real' coffee was available. The bathroom was beautifully appointed. We decided to get pizza from a local takeaway and enjoy it in our room. I enjoyed lounging in the comfy leather chair while I waited for the pizza. Thank you Julie for a great experience. JB

Janette & Paul - January 2017 (Flamingo Room)

I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful Art Deco home. Julie & Ron couldn't do enough to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We arrived late in the evening and were given full access to the kitchen and living room, as if it were our own. We enjoyed a lovely chat with them before bed and were even able to have a bubble bath too! We enjoyed a nice continental breakfast when we woke and a cup of tea by the fire. Really couldn't have asked for anything more. Superb value and a lovely experience. Thank you Julie & Ron. We will be back to see you when next in Wodonga :)

Aisling & Aoife - September 2016 (Napier Room)

Thank you Julie and Ron for sharing your space with me in your blissful Art Deco home. I was truly overwhelmed when you offered me a free ride to your home from the station and thankyou for checking if I needed a ride while the way back from my study. Furthermore, you guys have made me feel like being at home by getting me nibbles and cooking some amazing Indian food, and so not even a day during my short stay of four days did I feel I was in a place away from home. Your sense of thoughtfulness even in trivial things truly had a positive impact on me. Right from day one of my stay I mentioned to my mates about your hospitality and they were truly amazed. I am glad that we were able to have some dinner and breakfast chats which made me realise that we did have a lot of things in common. As mentioned in your airbnb listing, the room, bathroom, lounge and essentials provided were all picture perfect. Overall, I am thankful that I have made good connections as well as friends for life in Wodonga. and hoping it is the same for you as well. Please don't shy away from calling me whilst you are at Melbourne so that I can reciprocate to all the good and the best you guys had done. Wishing you the best and a prosperous future ahead.
