Tucked away in Melbourne’s vibrant Southbank district, this modern high-rise apartment delivers big-city convenience without the fuss. I found the location spot-on – just a short stroll from the Royal Botanic Gardens and the artsy National Gallery of Victoria.
Inside this one-bedroom unit, you’ll discover all the essentials: a proper kitchen for whipping up meals, two full bathrooms (a real bonus), and a breezy balcony perfect for morning coffee. The building spoils you with a pool, gym, and spa to unwind after sightseeing.
A couple of wrinkles to consider: Street noise can creep in during peak hours, and parking comes at an extra cost – typical for central Melbourne.
This spot hits the sweet spot for couples or small families (it sleeps up to four) who want a handy home base with kitchen freedom. Culture vultures will love being steps from Melbourne’s arts scene, while business travelers can easily zip into the CBD. If you’re after a comfortable apartment with reliable service in a prime location, this could be your Melbourne match.
