About this property

Fitzroy Thrills in MacRobertson Factory Conversion

Situated in the iconic MacRobertson Factory, this converted warehouse apartment offers an ideal location just a three-minute stroll from Brunswick, Smith and Johnston Streets—lined with vintage shops, trendy restaurants and eclectic cafes. Hop on the tram for a quick 15-minute commute into the city or work remotely from the inspiring, oversized desk. Soaring ceilings, exposed beams, polished timber floors, and industrial finishes weave an enchanting tale of this apartment's reclaimed allure.
Epitomising Fitzroy's edgy locale, this stunning apartment—conceptualized by the experts Design & Diplomacy—boasts a warehouse chic design packed with a mix of mid-century furniture and eclectic decor. Accessed via two flights of stairs, open plan interiors with towering windows evoke an airy, light-filled feel. Kick back on the leather lounge with Netflix, curl up on the arm chair with your favourite book or set up your laptop to work remotely at the window-facing office area—all with the comfort of slit-system heating and cooling.

The galley kitchen is fitted with premium appliances, brushed gold finishes and sage green cabinetry. It centres around a roomy, tiled bench under mood lighting with seating for four. Unleash your culinary skills or ditch cooking all together and sample the abundance of eateries on your doorstep.

Rest easy in two calming queen bedrooms. Both offer large windows, a fresh white palette, striking artwork and ample wardrobe space to hang and store your belongings. Step into the bathroom, hidden behind a quirky, pink facade. Inside, it's a blend of vintage charm and modern flair with white subway tiles, gleaming gold fixtures, and bold teal touches. Embrace the luxury of dual sinks and unwind with a soothing soak in the bath or quick rinse under the rainfall shower.

Additional conveniences include off-street, secure parking for one car and an in-unit washing machine and dryer.

Toiletries provided are single use to get you started. They may not be sufficient for entire stay (additional consumables to be purchased by you)
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourself. Please make yourselves at home!

Please note, there is no lift access and the apartment requires guests to climb and carry luggage up the two flights of stairs pictured in the listing.

Walk five-minutes to join the locals on any given weekend in frequenting Fitzory and Rose Street Markets packed with vintage and craft stalls. Gertrude Street—known for its design and art-supply stores, wine bars and buzzy eateries—is just a 15-minute stoll away. Grab some ciders and snacks and spend a relaxing afternoon enjoying a picnic at the popular Edinburgh Gardens. Brunswick Street is another local hangout with Vegie Bar, a popular vegetarian cafe, and The Rooks Return, known for its cocktails and live music, amongst dozens of other options.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
