5 Min to Crown & NGV | Stylish 2BR | City View

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Thank you for having us stay at your place. The location was ideal for our time in Melbourne and very convenient to the arts centre and the city. We loved being able to walk to the National Gallery of Victoria to see an exhibition and into town. It was easy to walk to the tram to St Kilda. Even though we were on a main road, the traffic noise was no issue at all at night which was fantastic. It was much more convenient for us to be in an apartment and to self cater than a hotel. It was also really good to have the second bathroom. Being school holidays and Easter I had a concern about finding something well priced but this option worked out well for us. As our son said it was much better than a hotel room. This apartment is a good base for a family when needing to be close to the city.

Exciting St Kilda and the BEACH on your doorstep!

JohnRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment is ideal for two people. It came with a well equipped kitchen with initial basic essentials provided (tea, coffee, etc) - ideal after a long journey. There is plenty of storage space in the bedroom. In addition there is a washer and dryer available - no need to take as many clothes next time. We hired a car, so a parking space was essential, and was provided in the basement. Fantastic location on the promenade with additional beaches located to the east of St. Kilda. Easy access to local bars, restaurants and supermarkets. The nearest tram stops are within 300m of the property giving easy access to the city. The trams are regular and we didn't see any delays or cancellations. If we ever return to Melbourne, we would definitely check on its availability. Thanks Jen Regards John

Riverside Apartment with Balcony

JeffreyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Hands down, Sandy's very lovely apartment is the most glittering gem in Docklands Melbourne - nice and sleek interior design that puts it on the pedestal in the same league; - squeaky clean and spick and span; - very comfortable bed that you are mollycoddled, from the very first moment you hit the sack; - quiet and reclusive, right in front of the promenade, and the modern life and vibrancy is a stone's throw away; - Flexible check out(upon request); - Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful. Simply the best accommodation in Docklands.

The Beach House: Waterfront with Boat Mooring

WadeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The indoor-outdoor room was a real highlight—it created such a beautiful, open space to relax and enjoy both the home and the outdoors. We spent so much time there just unwinding, having meals, and soaking up the atmosphere. It made the whole stay feel like a luxury retreat. The rest of the home was equally impressive—spotlessly clean, well-equipped, and super comfortable. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, and the host was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. This place had everything we needed and more. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

NippaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Very clean and spacious place in the perfect location, right near the water and Bellarine coastal walking track. The sunrises and sunets here are magnificent and can be seen unobstructed right from the living area! The house has everything you need and a spacious front and back yard for the kids and dog to run around and play - perfect for a family getaway. Amy made us feel right at home with timely communication. Will definitely be back here and highly recommend this place for a peaceful weekend with the family.

Stonehill Retreat - Private, Secluded, Luxury!

NicholeRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Beautiful home and property. Loved the breakfast basket provided. We enjoyed having a few kangaroos hanging around the home. I would have liked an area to sit outside and enjoy the view. The outdoor seating area is hidden at the back of the house. Overall a lovely place to stay.

LUXE "Bea’s Block" at Middle Park Beach

StephenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful comfortable home in an amazing location. 50m to the beach, right near a tram stop and heaps of cafes and restaurants all in walking distance. The home is gorgeous with every amenity you could think of, coupled with a host Sian that can’t do enough to make sure your stay is perfect. The amount of extras that were supplied was next level. One of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot. Highly recommend this property.

Aman is a great landlord, he always quick reply to the message. It's really helpful for us to make next plan. Sorry for him about the midnight check-in. However, he's still let us get the key ASAP. Apricate him.
