Hey there I'm Ricki. A little about me, I grew up in Auckland, NZ but call Melbourne Home. I'm a qualified chef, personal trainer & real estate agent. Working to always accomodate and help other people has always been a joy of mine. Creating a dedicated Air-Bnb space where I can provide the best service possible has been a mini dream of mine for years now, I'm very grateful that I can finally furfill this! Melbourne, especially the CBD & Southbank has so much to offer and after 12 years of living here I'm still discovering new things on a weekly basis. Being able to give you a place to stay for as long as you need whether you're here for business or pleasure will allow you to get a taste of whats out there. I'm here to answer any questions you might have to please don't hesitate to reach out! Hopefully see you soon, Ricki
