Advertised as a GREAT place for our NYE Melbourne 2019???
Sadly, no. The not so excellent location of this tidy compact ‘Ikea-esque’ apartment is inconveniently located in the urban sprawl of nowhere.
The apartment commands amazing views of Box Hill Central and the Coles carpark roof, unfortunately the city is in the opposite direction but who wanted to see that anyway. For NYE we did make it to the building’s roof where there is a great common pool and BBQ area but unfortunately had forgotten our binoculars to gaze at the distant views of the city skyline.
The apartment is less chic, more sadly neglected with unwelcoming stained carpets, a dirty shower, unwashed plates and countless marks and handprints all over the walls from past weary travelers. At night, the dulcet tones of the clattering trains and trams below lull you into a false sense of broken sleep until the whitewash of morning sun jars you awake again. At least you won’t get to sleep in, grab an early train for a day in the city instead!
Box Hill, not much to see, not much to do but it’s all about the journey, right? Thanks for having us!
