Short family getaway

The apartment was very neat and clean. Bathroom was decent size and modern. Loved the location, right near supermarkets and great wateries. Perfect for 2 adults and 2 small kids (might be a bit small for more adults as the 2nd room has v. Small bunk beds.).

Spacious apartment with amazing view

What a treat to stay here! The view is amazing - the kids loved watching the trains and the flame show outside the crown. It was nice that there were some colouring pencils and toys for the kids to play with. So easy to walk into town, or along the river - great location. Thanks for the warm welcome and communication during our stay. We'll definitely book again!

Location, view & clean!

Apartment was a great pick - the location is super, the view is great and the apartment clean. Worked well for my family of five. Had everything we needed, communication always timely. So glad I chose this without knowing much about Melbourne. Would definitely recommend over a hotel whether going out and about or need somewhere to relax with a change of scenery!

What a view!

We had such a great time in Melbourne, mostly due to the location of this apartment. So close to everything! We spent a lot of the time we were 'home' gazing out the windows at the amazing views. Most necessary items were available in the apartment. It would have been good to have parking included.

Wonderful Family Getaway

This apartment was a wonderful base for our recent family holiday. The location was so convenient, and allowed us to soak up the amazing vibe of Melbourne. The apartment was beautiful and had everything to make us feel very comfortable and welcome. Thoughtful touches such as condiments in the pantry, toys for young children, chocolates on arrival were lovely. There was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 children to relax comfortably. The views over Melbourne were always of interest regardless of the time of the day or night. We will return!

Great locality, Park and Walk Everywhere

We enjoyed our stay on level 32 Freshwater Place, with amazing views. Lounge, Main Bedroom and Bathroom are spacious. Kitchen has everything you need including some pantry staples. Second Bedroom is tiny living, but quite cosy. Parking is on the 8th floor!! which was OK, because we just walked everywhere. Julie was helpful throughout. Thankyou for a great stay.

Height of luxury

Loved everything about this apartment! The location, the view, the fit out, the furnishings - everything was spot on! It had everything we could have wanted and more. Really cannot fault it. Some of the touches that really made it outstanding were the unexpected (but much appreciated) chocolates, milk, tea and coffee supplies, bread, butter, spreads, and fruit that were waiting for us. There are plenty of shops and restaurants just at the base of the building, but having those refreshments there already meant we could enjoy a treat while we unpacked and took in the gorgeous view before heading out. Great communication from the lovely host Julie throughout the entire process from booking to check out made the whole experience stress free too.

Apartment was great to come home to after long and heavy days at a conference. Facilities were excellent although we did not cook or eat there. Appreciated that it was close to the Melbourne Convention Centre, restaurants and places to catch up with friends as well as the CBD. Would like to return in the future. Host was so kind, caring and much appreciated.

Perfect base for visiting Melbourne

We stayed at Julie's apartment for two weeks while visiting Melbourne and the coastal area. It was a perfect place to base our visit. The building is right on the south bank of Yarra River. Easy walk to tram and across the river to many places of interest. Communication with Julie was great. We would stay here again if we come back to Melbourne.

Perfect Melbourne city stay

Cannot recommend this property enough. Fabulous location and view, quiet, very comfortable bed and sparkling clean. All the extras you can think of were included, such as coffee pods, laundry liquid, kitchen condiments, extra pillows and blankets etc and obviously a lot of thought and pride goes into this property. We look forward to the next time we can come and stay. Host was friendly and accomodating.
