This is a great place for a family to stay whilst discovering Melbourne. All the key sites are a short walk or tram ride away. Spend a day walking from the apartment through the botanical gardens, stopping for a coffee by the lake, emerging on the far side of the gardens follow the river back to the CBD across Flinders bridge and then zigzagging up through the alleyways take in Block arcade and the Dr Seuss art gallery and work your way up to the shopping malls of Melbourne Central and then after it’s a direct tram ride back to the National Gallery and a two minute stroll home. On another day we took the tram to South Melbourne market for oysters and chilled white wine standing at the high tables in the middle of the market then on to the butcher’s counter to buy huge Australian steaks to take home to cook on the outdoor bbq whilst watching the light fade and the lights come on across the CBD horizon.
Enjoy the apartment: comfy beds; good TV/audio system; great seating on a terrace with a view!
