Holiday rentals with a patio in Balaclava

What a gem! If this place is available grab it! Walking distance to the beach, Elwood and St. Kilda. Bus right outside the apartment, short walk to the 16 and 96 tram from St. Kilda. The apartment overlooks the canal and is quiet and tranquil.

We were in Melbourne for a sports event in St Kilda. This was in perfect location, walking distance from really nice places to eat and drink, as well as the St Kilda beach. Really nicely presented place. Enjoyed our stay.

Unbelievable!!! If you’re thinking of booking here, do it. Why tho you ask ? Well, firstly the location is unbelievable right in the middle of south yarra which is definitely the nicest place in Melbourne, a train station and a tram line just 5 minutes away which is so convenient for us when travelling around. Furthermore, the apartment is so home like. We were considering asking if we could rent long term as it’s that nice. Feel right at home and it’s got everything you need for a short or long stay (we stayed 2 week). Also the bed is soooo comfortable and we had such amazing sleeps. Tv was also a nice touch, we watch so many films in the evening as it was so comfortable in the apartment. Shops were so close so getting food in was easy. Going to CBD was so easy. Just an amazing experience here and made us love south yarra and it will be a time to always remember in Melbourne. 10/10

Thank you Heidi for an amazing stay. From the very first enquiry to checkout your communication and help was amazing. Really appreciate the guidance in advance on checkin and checkout to ensure everything was seamless and hassle free. The accomodation was spectacular and exactly as described and pictured, more than expected. Amenities both within the apartment and the facility were fantastic. The induction with concierge on checkin was such a great experience and all the staff were so accomodating. Central and a short walk to so many must do’s including Luna Park, St Kilda Pier, Fitzroy and Acland Streets, The Esplanade… the list is endless. Highly recommend.

Susie's Airbnb was exactly what my mum and I needed for our Melbourne visit and we had a lovely stay. Great location near two train stations, walkable to Carnegie cafes and shops, nice parks nearby. The apartment itself was extremely comfortable and well-provisioned - every time we thought of something we needed, we found it: hairdryer, condiments, cooking equipment, iron, washer/dryer, cereal and milk, extra blankets and towels. The heating worked well, both beds were comfortable, the apartment was in a quiet and peaceful area and was nicely decorated without being cluttered. Highly recommend.

Anna's apartment was beautifully decorated, it really exceeded our expectations! The space was a lot bigger than we expected and we felt right at home we honestly could have extended our stay for longer. It felt private and the main road could barely be heard considering we were along the Princes Highway. The kitchen was fully stocked with teas, ingredients for cooking if you wanted to, and lovely extras that you didn't know you needed during your stay. We really enjoyed how close it was to the city as well as neighbouring suburbs like Prahran, it was only a 7 min drive to the Prahran markets! I highly recommend staying at Anna's place as it really felt like the perfect home for the two of us. Don't hesitate to book!

Sebastian is an extremely responsive and helpful host. The apartment is right in the heart of Prahran, just a few metres off Chapel St. It is close to shops, restaurants and nightclubs - there's a cute winebar just downstairs. The neighbours are friendly. The bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in!

This Airbnb was fabulous, we loved our stay and felt very comfortable and cosy. There was a comfy couch to chill on in the evenings and the heaters worked a treat to warm the space up quickly and effectively. Beds were comfy and there was a dishwasher, washer dryer and all other amenities you could need. This was an incredibly well stocked Airbnb with plenty of toilet paper, tissues, toiletries, cooking utensils, plates and so on. The hosts were very very responsive and nothing was a bother, always welcoming and helpful. They made us feel so welcome and our pets as well. The parking was easy and very close to the lift and then the apartment so it was easy to access as well for my partner with mobility issues. The communication was top notch, probably one of the best communications we’ve had with hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this Airbnb. 15/10.

Best Airbnb experience ever! The place was perfect for a family trip—comfortable, clean, well-located and also friendly hosts. I’ll definitely stay here again the next time I visit Melbourne!

We stayed at Kerin’s beautiful home for a multi generational family celebration and it was superb!! The house has everything you need for multiple guests - beds were all comfortable, linen was gorgeous, heaps of glassware, crockery & platters etc. We loved the massive antique dining table, lamps everywhere for a dreamy cosy vibe, and two different lounge areas plus a great outdoor area meant we never felt crowded despite our numbers. The parking permits were so helpful for us as were the miki cards for public transport. Our host Kerin was kind, accommodative and very thoughtful. Location was also amazing for city, St Kilda, Chapel St, MCG and an easy drive to airport. We would highly recommend Kerin and this home for any trip to Melbourne - you will be made to feel so welcome at every turn.

This gorgeous historic home is in the best location with the tram across the road, the South Melbourne markets a very short walk as well as lots of local cafes and restaurants. The house is very comfortable and homelike as well as quite spacious for a one bedroom place. There’s a full kitchen with plenty of bench space to prepare all that beautiful food from the nearby markets!

Loved our stay! The house was super clean, felt really homely, and had great appliances. It’s in an awesome spot—everything was walking distance. There was a brief power issue (seemed like a neighbourhood thing), but Emily responded super fast and was great to deal with. Would definitely stay again!

Such a beautiful small home, so clean and bed linen immaculate. Beds so so comfy. Really felt safe, the street has elderly long term owners. Very quiet and safe area. I’m big on cleanliness and this was 10/10. Def staying again. Kitchen facilities brilliant, did all my cooking with good quality pots and utensils. Bathroom is awesome, love the view. Cant fault. Thx Rebecca

Anthony put a lot of time and care into this listing. Everything was well stocked and the place was very welcoming with gifts of Prosecco and lollies. He was extremely responsive and made sure that we were well taken care of

Sensational location, close to bars , restaurants, transport etc … Clean , comfortable . Perfect .

Our family of 5 had a great stay at Graci's home in Port Melbourne. Lots of space, great amenities, quiet location, close to amenities. We would definitely stay again.

Andrew was the perfect host - he was super helpful, responsive and offered to stay up late in case I had issues getting in, given my late arrival time. Communication was great and very open to helping where possible. The apartment itself was lovely and views were fantastic being on the top floor. You could still hear a lot of the traffic and trams however so perhaps bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper but otherwise not a big deal, just one of the things about being in an urban area. I was there for work so was a very quick stay but it was a close walk for where I needed to be which was great, thanks for having me Andrew and being a fantastic host!

Its an apartment with a magnificent view across Melbourne, right next to the incredible Victoria Market and the thumping heart of the centre of the city. Yet it is peaceful and quiet. The pool is long and lovely and there is a gym too. Selina was wonderful and responsive. Would definitely come back if I visited Melbourne again.

Clean and modern. With everything we needed. Walking distance to shops, restaurants and tram. We stayed a very cold winters weekend and apartment was warm and cosy.

Scenic view from the apartment on the seafront. Comfortable well equipped and within 10 minute walk of a grocer and train station.

Repeat customers and love coming and staying here. So close to the city and the tennis and the footy and the river bank. Great communication and extremely helpful in answering any questions. Thanks again and look forward to our next stay.

The apartment is just the right thing to recover from a busy day! The Kage is very quiet, but also only 20 minutes away from Melbourne center. The apartment is very nicely decorated and you have everything you need on site! I can only recommend the apartment!

What an amazing apartment! The location was perfect for us to attended the MCG for AFL. An easy 10 min walk to local pubs & restaurants& the MCG/Tennis centre precinct. The apartment had everything that you need for a short stay & with an IGA supermarket & coffee shop below, a longer stay would be easy. Parking was easy to get to & say to park in, with lots of spaces available if your vehicle is on the bigger size. The large balcony with BBQ & outdoor setting was also a welcome change from the small, one person balconies that we are used to. The dual bathrooms were also fantastic. We were a little concerned about the shower, however, the small heads are quite powerful & the temperature is hot! Staples in the panty included oils, spices, sugars, salt & pepper. The small milk that was in the fridge was not enough, perhaps 2 next time? All in all, a great space, location & relatively quiet neighbourhood. Maery was an amazing host. Thank you, we will be back 😁

We absolutely loved our stay. Jodie & Ella were great at communicating from the time we booked the place. The location was great, the apartment was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The hosts were so lovely and accomodating. During our stay the lift was not working however the hosts went above and beyond in ensuring everything went smoothly for us. I could not recommend a better place if you’re looking to stay in St Kilda. One of the best getaways I’ve had so far.
