    location and view sensational

  • Karen from Australia (9/10)

    OMG the views! I have never stayed in a place with such amazing views – I didn't want to leave the apartment or go to sleep 😉 The apartment itself is very spacious, super comfortable and perfect for two couples. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook, but you have so many restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, you probably won't bother. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to stay again next time I'm in Melbourne.

  • Simon from New Zealand (6/10)

    We liked the location, the amazing view from the apartment and the spaciousness of the apartment. The kitchen was also well equipped. Collecting and leaving the keys was very straightforward.
