About this apartment rental
Directly in front of Melbourne's beautiful Botanical Gardens, with views also of the Bay and just a 10-20 min. stroll to the Art Centre, Flinders Street Station, Southbank, Melbourne Casino and the centre of Melbourne, the apartment highlight is the location and views.
Additionally it is 50 metres (45 yards) from a tram stop, which can take you to St.Kilda beach in a few minutes, or take it the other direction through the city central.
On each corner (to left and right) are supermarkets that are open every day, closing late at 10:30 and 11pm.
Your reservation includes one car private secure car space, inside the same building as the apartment. Park car and catch the elevator up.
The bed is a 100% latex mattress, King Size bed. 100% latex is hypoallergenic, super comfortable and movement from one person in the bed is not felt in the slightest by the other.
The balcony has an outdoor furniture setting (2 chairs and table) where you can sit and take in the sun set and views. The left side has views of the Botanical Gardens and the Shrine (a building of remembrance for our fallen soldiers), and to the right side of Melbourne Bay. Waking to Garden and Ocean views, while being by the heart of the city, I find a unique and relaxing experience!!
Includes 1 secure under-cover car park (parking in the same building at no additional cost), and use of the Gymnasium (which incidentally also has views of the Botanical Gardens).
Free unlimited wifi internet. No Smoking in the Apartment.
Modern apartment with many brand new appliances. Such as a washing machine, sandwich maker, coffee maker (grinds coffee beans - beans supplied), cooking facilities include an oven, stove and microwave. Fully furnished and ready to go!

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Beautiful apartment in a great location - walking distance to many restaurants, bars, grocery store, etc. Easy access to tram. Very comfortable bed. After some initial difficulty with the lockbox at check-in, the rest of the stay including the checkout process was very smooth.

Love this place. It's our favourite spot to stay when in Melbourne, and we've been back a few times. The listing is very accurate, and though we had a little trouble with the lockbox, this was quickly and kindly resolved - thank you so much! The only downside, which is zero fault on the part of the flat or anyone associated with it is that the building opposite is currently being demolished, so there's a fair bit of noise starting up at 8am. Not an issue if you're an early riser who intends to spend the day enjoying all Melbourne has to offer. Slightly more challenging if you're a night owl who would like to sleep in a little :)

Very clean, good value, super location, beautiful view to the Shrine & gardens. Would re-book in a heartbeat.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2024
The positives re our stay are location, view and bed. We had stayed here previously two years ago.
1. If you have to step over a bath to have a shower from a safety aspect you should have a hand rail or at the least a none slip mate.
2.The seating for the tables are simply far too low and need replacing. Same could be said about lounge/settee.
3. There was no dish washing detergent - do the owners really expect people to put 2 plates and 2 mugs in the dishwasher each time they use them? We did not use the dishwasher - that being said there were utensils left behind by the previous occupants in the dishwasher.
4. One bedroom lamp - one night someone who sleeps over on the Dorcas Street side of the bed is going to get up and fall over, break an arm, hip whatever. invest in some side tables with bed lamps.
