Cheerfully welcomed by Kathryn into the spacious unit on the 19th floor.
The lifts were superbly efficient throughout our stay.
Kathryn gave us a careful tour of our accommodation and the shared areas of the unit, and she issued us with a unit key each. She gently ascertained our needs re food, tv, heating, comforts and travel plans.
Some books brochures, maps and the Myki log-on travel cards were available for us. The 270 degree views of Melbourne were spectacular.
It was only a short walk to the tram stops.
A longer walk took us past the Crown Casino and wonderful South Bank developments. An even longer walk (or tram) took us across the Yarra River to Southern Cross Station on the South West corner of the CBD.
Southern Cross Station is about 1 hour travel by SkyBus from Tullamarine Airport.
From Southern Cross we could access suburban and country train networks, other trams that travel further across the CBD, as well as to many Melbourne suburbs. Most of the CBD tram network was free. The free Circle Trams were educational tours for tourists and locals across the CBD and to Docklands, Harbour Town and the Melbourne Star.
Unit is easily accessible from the Cruise Ship Terminal, Port Melbourne via a short trip on the 109 tram which passes past the front door.
Wifi was available without restriction in the cosy, well heated dining/living area.
No problems with laundry washing; but drying could become cumbersome with drying racks if the wash was large; dryer was only used after clothes were 80% - 90% dry (Our choice - we had full use of the dryer if we wanted it.)
Kathryn was anxious to accommodate us, and to fit in, with our needs in this area as well as with with other requests we made.
We stayed 12 days, during which time our sheets, towels and other linen were changed with fresh supplies.
A very central well appointed accommodation in the heart of Melbourne with easy access to Cruise Ship Terminal, Airport, rail, trams, and buses which can be used to investigate all that this vibrant city has to offer.
