Boujee Beach Front, St Kilda Apartment

EllyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Katie’s place was in a great location walkable to the beautiful St Kilda Beach and the pier which is a fun lively experience in the evening and a great spot to capture photos of the water and the city. You can see the little penguins around sunset at the end of the pier. There are some really nice beachfront restaurants to grab lunch or a drink. There are also a lot of restaurants and bars on Fitzroy and the famous Acland Street (for the cake shops) which are both just a short walk. Also we were allowed early check in which was very much appreciated. We extended our stay to add three more nights because we enjoyed the area so much!

Fernhill Retreat

ClintRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
A nice base for the Grand Prix. Last stop on the train so a little ways from town, but that meant it was quiet and peaceful. Coles is not far away to grab the supplies we needed. Shampoo, toilet paper, food etc. Internet worked well for my remote work. If you need to work a lot it may be worth bringing a extension cord so you have power at the desk or table.

Sensational St.Kilda stay at Sunset Beach Tower

RobRating, 5 stars2 months ago
A recently refurbished property. Spacious enough for two. Excellent location for the beach and nearby restaurants and bars. There is a major road outside that gets busy early each day. Highly recommended, great value for money.

Little Venice townhome. North facing & bay views.

NicholasRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wonderful! Normally hate scorching heat and summer but staying here made me fall in love with it. Stayed for nearly two months while my house was getting renovated and felt like I was on a long extended holiday. The hosts (Lara and Jente) were very helpful and accomodating with everything. Smaller kitchen than what I was used to, but it worked out in the long run and ended up eating cleaner, fresher meals and got fit as a result. Plus being able to have dinner while watching the sun set from the balcony was absolutely heavenly. Will miss that place for sure. Thank you ladies!

Spacious bayside unit close to the Beach & Bay St

MarkRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Port Melbourne is a great area with lots to do and only a tram away from the city. Sakshee's place is strategically located near the beach which makes all the areas accessible. The place is clean and nice, communication is very good and very accommodating. The unit is a bit complex to get to with lots of doors to go through but Sakshee makes it easy with clear instructions. The unit is very private, cozy and quiet. Overall, worth every penny, I would go back there again when I go back to port Melbourne.

Stunning home - Walk to beach

HelenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The house is as described, no problems at all. We needed a temporary place to stay when we had to vacate our house for a couple of days. Great house for dog owners as it was fully fenced all around. Next time I will ask for an extra key a just the one key was hard to manage but otherwise, exactly what we needed. Thanks

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and tidy and Altona beach was so close by. We were happy to be able to take our elderly dog along with us to make sure he was still looked after while we got to enjoy our holiday.

Across from West Beach Location Location

LindaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Hayley was a great host. Communication was clear and instructions easy to follow. We requested an early check in which was no problem. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable with plenty of natural light. Lots of little extras, a lovely selection of fresh fruit, bread and snacks. Great location, directly opposite the beach and easy access to transport. Hayley also provided Myki cards which came in very handy. Definitely recommend Hayley’s place and we will stay again next time we require accommodation in the area.

Melbourne and Southbank Gem with 3 Bedrooms

GeorgeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a fantastic stay at Dr. Fred’s apartment in Southbank. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. The apartment was clean, exactly as advertised, and well-equipped for our needs. The location was perfect for our Grand Prix weekend in Melbourne, with easy access to public transport and also walkable to Albert Park if needed. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again for future Grand Prix trips!

Very comfortable 2 bed and 2 bath apartment right in a cbd. Clean and tidy place with all you need. The view is amazing. Everything you need walking distance. It’s next to the central train station and you probably need an earplugs if you are not used the city noise.
