I had a pretty magical and lush experience at Ondine’s place I’m South Melbourne. The area is really laid back and also brimming with nice restaurants and some pretty good coffee and also really close to
both the sea and the CBD. Ondines place itself is pretty incredible, with a very minimal mix of concrete and wood, beautiful large windows and sliding doors, a rain shower, and a small but very reasonable kitchenette. You also have access to a private garden—and luckily for me it also came with really nice bottle of wine that Ondine left for me. I wasn’t in Melbourne for long but had a pretty amazing experience and would recommend you staying at her lovely spot.
