I stayed at this Docklands apartment for just under 5 weeks as I was relocating from Hong Kong to Melbourne. It is exactly as it looks in the photo. It is bright, full of sunshine with gorgeous, expansive views, and beautifully maintained and presented. The apartment is a perfect size for a stay of this duration and is very well equipped with all the basics such as kitchen utensils and linen, washing machine and dryer, full-sized fridge/freezer and plenty of coathangers and storage (I had a lot of luggage with me). It has a nice little study nook as well. The gym and pool are very good.

The Docklands location is superb. It is very close to the city with a number of tram routes right outside the front door (to take you up La Trobe, Bourke Street or Flinders Street) and trams are now free within the CBD including Docklands. There are quite a few restaurants and bars around, I particularly liked Cargo (just a few minutes' walk away) for the water views, sunny outdoor seating and relaxed vibe. Docklands feels quite safe at night for a solo female traveler with all the trams and people out walking and enjoying the water precinct at all hours and with a Sebel hotel right next door.

Tim was a great host, very quick to respond with any queries prior to booking and during my stay. Staying here was a fantastic introduction to living in Melbourne. It is a lovely place to stay that is close to all the action yet feels very relaxing in its beautiful dockside setting.
