This luxury apartment is a stone's throw from Crown Casino's Entertainment Complex, Yarra River, Melbourne's CBD, MCG, Albert Park and Southbank's Arts Precinct. If you'd like to know more, keep reading!
WHAT MAKES SOUTHBANK A GREAT DESTINATION?
Southbank fronts the southern bank of the Yarra River, just opposite Melbourne's central business district.
Southbank has 2 km of absolute Yarra River frontage which is lined by wide pedestrian promenades offering scenic views of the river and city skyline. At the suburb's eastern riverfront end is Princes Bridge which leads directly to Melbourne's CBD.
Adjacent to the bridge is Arts Centre Melbourne which includes a concert hall and several theatres dominated by a distinctive white spire which soars into the sky.
Heading westwards along Southbank Promenade is the multi-level Southgate shopping centre which features a host of retail outlets, restaurants and cafes that overlook the river.
At Queensbridge Square is the historic Sandridge Bridge which was constructed in 1888 for the railway line linking the city with Port Melbourne and St Kilda, but was later redeveloped into a pedestrian bridge lined with public art sculptures.
Further westwards the riverfront walkway is known as Yarra Promenade which is home to the Crown Entertainment Complex, featuring the acclaimed Crown Casino, scores of restaurants, and a large cinema complex.
At Spencer Street is the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, often referred to by locals as "Jeff's Shed", which hosts a large number of exhibitions and events. The riverfront walkway extends westwards into the South Wharf precinct, past the lawns at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, and onto the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre where the Seafarers pedestrian bridge provides a link over the Yarra River to the World Trade Centre precinct of Docklands.
Southbank is noted for its cultural facilities including Melbourne's leading contemporary art gallery, the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art. The National Gallery of Victoria, Australian Ballet Centre, Melbourne Recital Centre and Victorian College of the Arts, just to name a few, all have their home at Southbank.
One of Southbank's drawcards is the convenience of being just across the river from the heart of Melbourne and opposite some of Melbourne's best gardens and parklands to the east of St Kilda Road. It is also a modern high-density residential precinct with most people living in multi-level apartment buildings.
We look forward to welcoming you to this part of Melbourne soon.

AFFILIATION WITH RECEPTION & BUILDING CONCIERGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Where your property is located in a building with staff, please be advised that we are in no way affiliated with the operations of the building. Reception staff, building concierge and/or management will be unable to assist you with your booking in ANY capacity including baggage storage and key collection/drop off. Please contact us EXCLUSIVELY if you need to discuss your booking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW YOU WILL BE CHECKING IN (24/7)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Key Pickup from Key Exchange Service
City of Melbourne has very strict laws about the use of lockboxes. To avoid the risk of you realising your lockbox has been cut off as has been experienced by past guests, we have arranged for you to collect your key from a nearby Key Exchange Service located (500)m from your apartment. This is a 8 minute walk. This ensures the most seamless arrival.
Please plan your arrival accordingly. Our guests generally choose to use Uber to collect the key and then continue on to the apartment. Uber is able to park outside the Key Exchange Service and wait for you.
NOTE: From time to time, there may be a change to this process for reasons outside our control e.g. road blocks, a sudden change in operating hours of the Key Exchange Service. This will be communicated to all affected guests in advance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SAME-DAY BOOKINGS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We have a booking lead time 1 day in order to schedule housekeeping & check-in requirements for the following day. For this reason, we cannot always guarantee a check-in time of 3pm for last-minute bookings, especially where there is a departing guest. Priority is given to guests who have booked in advance and need to be checked in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We strongly advise you to plan around a 3pm check-in. When your place is ready, we will let you know. If you definitely require earlier access, consider booking the night before if available. Whilst we do our best to accommodate, please understand that, unlike hotels, we don't have a different room to give you. This means if a guest is checking out on the day of your arrival, housekeeping needs time to prepare everything and we thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》May be possible depending on bookings and housekeeping schedules. Please contact us after 8pm the day before your departure to confirm. We will do our best to accommodate. If you require a check-out later than 12pm, an additional night will be charged and collected through the Airbnb Resolution Centre. This must be paid the night before check-out or housekeeping will be scheduled for 10am as per normal check-out time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PRIVATE SECURITY PATROL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》We have a private security company that regularly patrols this property to ensure appropriate guest behavior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STARTER SUPPLIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Our spaces are fully stocked to ensure you have the comforts of home during your stay. This includes toiletries, fresh towels, tea, coffee, and kitchen essentials. We also provide a limited number of dishwasher and laundry pods. We provide enough of the above items to get you started and is not intended to last for the duration of your stay. If you run out during your stay, you can reach out to our team to find nearby stores and delivery services. Alternatively, you may order additional suppliers directly from us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BABY EQUIPMENT FOR HIRE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》For safety & hygiene reasons, we recommend our preferred Baby Hire companies for all your equipment needs during your stay. Please reach out for further information if required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
APARTMENT WINDOW CLEANING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Window cleaning is the Owner's Corporation responsibility. They manage these services according to a set schedule. Unfortunately, we have no control over the state of the external windows at all and apologise in advance if you happen to book at a time where they are in a state that requires cleaning.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AIRBNB SECURITY DEPOSIT HOLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
》Airbnb automatically places an authorization hold on Security Deposits for all listings TWO DAYS PRIOR TO CHECK-IN. If Airbnb is unable to do this, you will be notified by email with the opportunity to try another payment method within 12 hours. After that, Airbnb will automatically cancel your reservation. For more information, contact Airbnb directly.
