Stylish Serenity at Orrong

Great little village location with cafes, Woolies supermarket, takeaway shops, pharmacy. Nicely furnished, cosy apartment. Comfy beds and quiet (despite busy street). Easy to warm up the rooms.

Didn’t love the overall vibe- noisy street (definitely couldn’t relax outside despite lovely furniture on the verandah), a lot of rubbish bins and skips near the entry door, communal stairs not well maintained and felt like student accommodation, the whole carpark setup is confusingly explained when it should be made simple and the stacker is hard to walk on. I know none of this is within the manager/owner’s control, but it does affect the comfort level of the stay.

Location excellent, layout good.

This is not major but would help with improving the apartment. With street light directly outside bedroom windows blinds and curtains allow bright light in. Cleaning required for skirting boards and out on deck dirt and cobwebs. Some tips for kitchen: an additional cooking tray for oven required, a pair of scissors and a bowl for microwaving food.

Comfortabel met 4 personen en een baby verbleven. Babybed en stoel waren voorzien. Winkels en restaurants en bars direct in de buurt. Op 10 minuten van St Kilda beach en 20 minuten van CBD Melbourne ( met de auto)

Onze auto was te groot voor de parkeergarage en straatparkeren is beperkt in tijd. Wel makkelijk parkeren aan de achterkant van het gebouw.

Flat was decent, clean. AC unit was too far from the rooms, so they provided with fans for the rooms, thank you.

Paid for 6 nights and still had to buy my own toiletries, shampoo and soap etc. plus we had to clean up and do dishes etc. before leaving, plus empty the bins as well. PS the invoice included 200 something cleaning fee extra. They get you to sign more stringent T&Cs after you have paid for the booking and those T&Cs are not in line with what is shown on booking.com. Plus there is no one to talk to. Just message on booking.com, felt like talking to a chatbot which was reading the rules and policies everytime you try to question something.
