Spacious townhouse

Spacious townhouse Overview

I remember pulling up to the Spacious Townhouse on Edgewater Boulevard in Maribyrnong – you know, that quieter suburb about 10km northwest of Melbourne’s CBD, right along the Maribyrnong River. It’s not smack in the middle of the tourist chaos like Southbank or anything, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. I drove in from the airport via the Tullamarine Freeway, and it was a breeze – no more than 20 minutes even in peak traffic. The place itself is this modern, four-star townhouse setup that feels more like borrowing a mate’s holiday pad than a stuffy hotel. Walking in, you’re hit with that fresh, airy vibe – high ceilings, polished timber floors that creak just a little underfoot (in a cozy way, not annoying), and big windows letting in the afternoon sun bouncing off the river nearby. Check-in was super low-key; the host met me at the door with a quick rundown and a spare key, no long lines or formal desk nonsense. Oh, and parking? There’s a secure spot right out front, which is a godsend in Melbourne where street parking can be a nightmare, especially if you’re heading to Highpoint Shopping Centre just a five-minute drive away.

What really sold me on this spot was how it balances that homey feel with solid amenities – I mean, it’s rated 8.1 for a reason, right? The kitchen’s fully kitted out with a proper oven, dishwasher, and even a coffee machine that grinds beans fresh (saved me from those weak instant packets). Bedrooms are spacious, with king beds that actually feel plush, not like those rock-hard ones you get in budget chains – though fair warning, the street can get a bit noisy in the mornings with joggers and cyclists on the river trail outside. But at night? It’s blissfully quiet, especially in the cooler months when Melbourne’s winters keep the crowds away. I spent one evening on the balcony, sipping a local Yarra Valley pinot, listening to the faint ripple of the river and smelling that crisp eucalyptus air drifting in from the nearby parks. It’s sort of perfect for families or small groups – there’s space for up to six without feeling crammed, and the laundry facilities meant I could pack light. One minor gripe: the Wi-Fi dipped a tad during peak hours, but nothing a quick reset couldn’t fix. And if you’re into exploring, you’re steps from the Edgewater playground and walking paths – great for a morning stroll before hopping on the tram at Flemington Bridge to hit up the city or Footscray Market for some authentic Vietnamese eats.

Look, if you’re visiting Melbourne and want something that feels authentic without the inner-city hustle, this townhouse is a winner. It’s got that 4-star polish but with a personal touch – like staying in a well-kept local’s home. I’ve crashed in fancier spots downtown, but they don’t give you the same breathing room or easy access to underrated gems like the Maribyrnong River trails for biking (rent one nearby if you’re keen). Plus, at quieter times like spring or autumn, you might snag a deal that makes it feel like a steal. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially for a longer stay – it just makes the whole trip feel more grounded, you know?

Melbourne’s attractions showcase the perfect blend of Victorian architecture and modern urban sophistication, with many featuring panoramic city views and authentic experiences overlooking the beautiful Port Phillip Bay.
