About the property: Welcome to The Morrison Stables, a piece of Geelong history. Built in 1855, the main residence was originally a pub (now home to our family). The separate stables have been converted into a cosy 2 bedroom apartment including wifi, split system heating/cooling and secure off street parking. The street is incredibly quiet considering the close (walking distance) proximity of Geelong's CBD, Waterfront and GMHBA stadium. The apartment contains a small kitchenette, including a basic cooktop/oven and cookware, bar fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave - however guests are encouraged to take advantage of the many nearby restaurants, cafes and delivery options. Both bedrooms feature Queen beds fitted with quality stonewashed linen, supima cotton towels and wardrobes with plenty of storage for a comfortable stay. Outdoor seating (and vege garden), a comfy couch, smart TV (able to log into your streaming services), bluetooth speaker and novels on hand ensure you can unwind inside the stables.
About your host: Hi I'm Ash- I live in an old pub along with my husband Pete, our 2 kids, a cat and a giant dog. My background is in retail and hospitality, and I am thrilled to be applying my skills to hosting guests in the separate guesthouse at the back of our property. I'm proud of the clean and comfortable space we've created, and cant wait to share it with you.
