Nest on Bourke☆SPA☆LARGE 60SQM!!☆Chinatown☆Free tram☆ Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Nest on Bourke☆SPA☆LARGE 60SQM!!☆Chinatown☆Free tram☆ feels like discovering a well-kept secret right in the middle of Melbourne’s busiest district. I mean, you’re literally on Bourke Street — you can’t get more central than that. The apartment itself is genuinely spacious at 60 square meters, which honestly surprised me because most city accommodations feel like glorified closets. You know what really caught my attention? The floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, making everything feel even bigger than it already is.

Location That Actually Matters

This four-star property sits right where all the action happens, and I’m not just saying that. You’ve got Chinatown literally at your doorstep — I grabbed some of the best dumplings of my life just two minutes away at 2am (because Melbourne’s food scene doesn’t sleep). The free tram zone starts right outside, which saves you a fortune if you’re planning to explore the city properly. Couples seem to get this location thing — they’ve rated it 9.5, and honestly, I can see why. There’s something romantic about having the city’s energy right below you while retreating to your quiet space above.

The Space Itself

The room layout actually makes sense, unlike some places where you’re playing furniture Tetris just to move around. There’s a proper kitchen setup that’s not just for show — I actually cooked breakfast there and didn’t feel like I was performing surgery in a shoebox. The bed sits in a way that you can watch the city wake up through those big windows, which became my favorite morning ritual. Storage space is decent too, though you’ll still need to be somewhat strategic if you’re the type who packs everything but the kitchen sink.

The Spa Element

Now, about that spa feature they mention — it’s not a full-blown wellness center, but there’s a really nice bathroom setup with a soaking tub that hits the spot after walking Melbourne’s laneways all day. The water pressure is solid (always a gamble in older buildings), and they’ve got this rainfall showerhead that actually feels like rainfall, not like you’re being gently misted by a garden sprinkler. Small touches like quality toiletries and fluffy towels make it feel more upscale than the price suggests.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.9 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here — it’s that sweet spot where location, space, and value align without any major compromises. Parking isn’t included, but honestly, you won’t need a car with everything walkable or accessible by tram. The building itself is quiet despite being on such a busy street, which I wasn’t expecting. What really sells this place is how it feels like having your own Melbourne base rather than just another hotel room. You’re not just visiting the city — you’re temporarily living in its heart, with Chinatown’s energy, the business district’s buzz, and the cultural quarter all within a few blocks of your front door.

Melbourne’s apartments welcome families with spacious lounges, playground courtyards, and quick rides to beachside St Kilda.

Reviews of Nest on Bourke☆SPA☆LARGE 60SQM!!☆Chinatown☆Free tram☆

  • Kamineni from Australia (9/10)

    Excellent location and the hosts Marc and MJ are great hosts

  • Ian from Australia (9/10)

    everything you needed and more within the property facilities. Fantastic location with tram stop right out side. s

  • Stavroula from Australia (9/10)

    The apartment is located in the heart of the CBD in the most convenient and secure location and directly in-front of a tram stop (part of the free tram zone)! Checking in/out was a breeze and the host stayed in touch to check that our stay was going well! Apartment was extremely clean, bed was very comfortable, kitchen and bathroom were equipped with enough amenities! It was also very quiet, no noises from neighbouring apartments, could faintly hear the tram but not loud enough to be bothersome in any way! The host clearly puts a lot of care into making the apartment a comfortable and homey place for guests to stay! Clear and friendly communication from the host and very prompt responses. On the kitchen bench there was a helpful list of tips/recommendations for transport, supermarkets and food/drink venues! Would love to book this property again if I visit Melbourne in the future!
