Waterfront 2B Dockland apt with Balcony&Free Carpk
Very convenient location, clean and tidy apartment that matches exactly the photos are! Will definitely come back to stay again next time in Melbourne!

102 Harbour View
Great Place to stay right in the middle of town, close to shops and places to eat and easy walk across to park and pier. Very nice place to stay and quiet, well set out and plenty of room. Can recommend Harbour View as a great place to stay.

Water View APT docklands (Instant Book)
We are so glad we found Nura’s place & that it was pet friendly! It is so close to Marvel Stadium, tram right out the front and supermarket across the road. The apartment is big enough, beds comfy and building has great amenities as well. We wished we found this place first & spent all our time here whilst in Melbourne.

Unique Melbourne Sky High 3 Bed -Rooms
I stayed here with family to see some musicals. It's just a couple of hundred metres from Southern Cross Station, so you can get anywhere really easily. The apartment was massive, with three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge, dining and kitchen area. It was very comfortable for five of us. You are given a specific car park to stay in and one man chose to take mine and then become aggressive with my family when I asked for it back, as I had nowhere else to park. I was able to message the host about this to have it rectified. George responded quickly. For anxious travellers; you won't get instructions to pick up the keys until the room is ready. The key is in a lock box in the foyer, so just head to the building and wait. I was nervous as I had not received anything still after 3pm, but it all turned out well. The view was phenomenal and worth the price for me. NB. if you run hot, only the main b/r and lounge have aircon. it was fine for me in April and I had no trouble sleeping.

Waterfront 1BR Docklands Apt with FreeParking#2

The Parkview Retreat
Great to communicate with. Comfortable house and pleasant stay. Great place. Thank you.

Rare Absolute Beachfront Retreat 4BR Family Haven
My family from NZ really enjoyed staying at the house. It was right on the beach and one block from where I live, so really convenient. Big house with lots of bedrooms. Air hockey and Xbox for kids. Danielle was very helpful and flexible with accommodating our group. Thanks

Billabong Falls
This little peace of heaven was perfect for our family to celebrate my 40th birthday. From the moment we walked in the front gate to see the house amongst the gum trees and then the waterfall from the bedroom. We felt like we stepped into an old fairytale world with our own treehouse. Everywhere we walked felt like little fairy’s were waiting to greet us. The ferns throughout and stepping stones between each area made for the best adventures. The kids loved watching the frogs and tadpoles in the back pool. The natural pool was incredible and soul nourishing. Our first experience with a natural pool and it was breathtaking, especially being able to swim under the waterfalls. Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to return sometime Soon.

Family Cityside Beach House, Pool & Roof Terrace
Thanks to lovely Rebecca for a wonderful stay. Our family of four spent three great weeks here and the location and house itself was unbeatable. So much thought was placed into each room; from cutlery and toys for the kids to ample towels as well as beach towels! Kitchen is extremely well equipped and there was even a brand new BBQ. We had one tiny concern that Rebecca immediately assisted us with and for that, we appreciated her prompt help. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Relaxing Comfort on the Beach | Indented Head
We very much enjoyed this retro beach shack. The balcony and views were exceptional with the shore and very private beach just across the road. Was quiet time to visit. Loved having the pool table. Great place to unwind and relax with furry friends. Will definitely visit again.

Waterside Place - Upscale River Precinct
Beautiful house it was so easy to find and felt just like home, beds felt amazing and comfortable. The house was super clean and was perfect for staying, would definitely stay longer. Especially the shopping centre being only a 5 min drives was perfect for shopping.

Brum's Place
Great Host, perfect for hosting large groups, plenty of privacy for group of couples. Spacious and clean for reasonable price in a big group.

Seabrook Cottage
Thanks so much Sally & Toby for a beautiful stay. Your home is lovely, with thoughtful touches, spacious and modern design, and true to the listing. The suite felt very homely, with stunning views, surrounded by nature, and in an amazing location—right across from the beach and backing onto a creek. The backyard is shared with the host’s family, which is worth noting. Really appreciated the warm welcome and your responsiveness!

Thank you Kelvis for letting us stay ! The attention to detail is incredible, his place had everything you need and is in a super convenient location with public transport, shops and restaurants all in walkable distance. The place was clean and tidy, my boyfriend and I felt right at home. Might need to ask Kelvis to help design our future home 🤣

Docklands Waterfront Condo 2BRs & Secure Parking
This place was very well equipped, nice and clean and spacious for us. All cleaning products, shampoo, conditioner and washing detergent was generously included. Bed linen was crisp and clean. Very central to all amenities and a 2 minute walk to the tram station.

City Luxury Skyline 2BR2BTH &Hot Tub@WSP Free Tram
We had a great stay. The location was fabulous, right in the city easy access to free zone trams and train stations. The apartment was great everything we needed for our family and 2 bathrooms was a bonus for a family of girls. Highly recommend and we will be back to stay again. Thank you Victoria.

17 Floor Waterfront Apartment Docklands 2BR 2Car
Aman is a great landlord, he always quick reply to the message. It's really helpful for us to make next plan. Sorry for him about the midnight check-in. However, he's still let us get the key ASAP. Apricate him.

Modern 2BR Apartment Across Calm White Sandy Beach
Loved being able to walk across the road to the beach and not too far to supermarket and cafes. Loved the backyard with lots of birds in the trees - unexpected nature so close to a highway and that it was pretty quiet.

Entire home/apt+free parking in Docklands
Simon is an excellent host. His communication is exemplary & he did everything he could to help us settle in including arrangements for early access to our carpark. Simon’s place is exactly as presented & he has provided everything possible to make you feel at home & have everything you need. The location is excellent with easy access to the free tram & other tram services right outside the apartment. There are also plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance. We highly recommend Simon’s place & Simon as a wonderful host.

Classy, large 2BR apartment, marina view
This place is in a fantastic location. It's close to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and the free tram. The main bathroom doesn't include a toilet so only one toilet. But the main bath has lots of storage and Great shower pressure!!! The hosts were very responsive with all our questions! I would definitely recommend!

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment with AMAZING city views
Was an excellent base to attend concert at Marvel Stadium, explore the city and easy access to the airport. Thank you!
