Modern 3 Bedroom Apartment with Amazing Views

Hotel Description

I remember pulling up to Kavanagh Street in Southbank – you know, that spot right by the Yarra River where the promenade buzzes with joggers and coffee carts in the morning – and thinking, wow, this Modern 3 Bedroom Apartment is way more than just a place to crash. It’s tucked into one of those sleek high-rises that dot the skyline, and honestly, the views hit you like a ton of bricks the second you step onto the balcony. We’re talking panoramic sweeps over the city, with the Eureka Tower glowing at night and the river sparkling below – especially magical around sunset when the water turns all golden. I stayed there last spring, during that mild Melbourne weather where it’s not too hot but you still get those crisp evenings, and let me tell you, opening those floor-to-ceiling windows to let in the breeze (mixed with a faint salty tang from the bay) made the whole apartment feel alive. Check-in was a breeze too – it’s self-service with a code they email you, no fussing with a front desk, which is perfect if you’re arriving late after a flight into Tullamarine. Oh, and parking? There’s secure spots in the building, but snag one early because Southbank gets packed, especially on weekends when everyone’s heading to the Crown Casino or the arts centre across the way.

What really sets this place apart, though – and I mean this as someone who’s bounced around Melbourne a fair bit – is how it feels like a proper home base rather than some sterile hotel room. The three bedrooms are spacious, with those plush king beds that actually let you sleep through the night despite the occasional tram rumble from City Road (it’s not bad, sort of a soothing white noise after a while). The kitchen’s fully kitted out – I whipped up brekkie with eggs from the nearby South Melbourne Market, which is just a quick 10-minute walk over the bridge – and there’s a washer-dryer combo that saved me from overpacking. Well, almost; I did wish there was a bit more counter space for all my market finds, but that’s a minor gripe. The living area has this modern vibe with clean lines and comfy couches, perfect for chilling after a day exploring Federation Square or catching a show at the Malthouse Theatre. And the Wi-Fi? Lightning fast, no buffering when I was streaming footy matches. It’s rated 9.4 for a reason – super clean, with little touches like fresh towels and coffee pods that make you feel looked after. If you’re traveling with family or mates, the layout keeps things private but connected, and in busy seasons like the Australian Open, when Southbank’s alive with energy, it’s a quiet retreat up high where the city hum fades just enough.

Look, if you’re eyeing Melbourne and want something that blends convenience with those killer views without breaking the bank (it’s 4-star but feels more premium), book this spot. I’ve recommended it to friends visiting from interstate, and they all raved about how it made their trip – easy access to trams for getting to the CBD or even St Kilda Beach on a whim. Just pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper during event nights, but otherwise, it’s gold. You won’t regret waking up to that skyline every morning; it sort of resets your whole day.
