Welcome to Melbourne
Melbourne, the capital of Victoria and Australia’s second-largest city, is widely celebrated for its diverse arts and culture, world-class coffee, and trendy dining and bar scene. From iconic street art and beautiful beaches to historic landmarks and bustling markets, there’s always something to discover in this ever-evolving city.
At the heart of Melbourne sits Flinders Street Station — Australia’s oldest railway station and a popular landmark or meeting place for tourists and locals alike. Nearby, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Shrine of Remembrance offer a peaceful escape just minutes from the CBD. Art lovers can visit the National Gallery of Victoria or wander through Melbourne's iconic laneways to discover local street art. The Yarra River winds through Melbourne, shaping the city’s identity with scenic walking trails, riverfront dining, and cultural attractions.
Beyond the CBD, Melbourne’s surrounding suburbs each bring a unique character — from leafy residential pockets to lively dining and retail precincts, there’s a neighbourhood to suit every lifestyle.
In the south of the city, Southbank is known for its upscale eateries, cafes and shops. East of the river, Richmond offers vibrant shopping strips and diverse, modern eateries. North of the CBD, Carlton is famous for Italian dining and arthouse cinemas, while Fitzroy is the city’s creative hub, loved for its bars, street art and live music. In Melbourne's south, Elwood, Windsor and Caulfield offer laid-back, suburban areas while remaining close to everything you need.
Consistently ranked among the world’s most liveable cities, Melbourne is a smart choice for corporate travellers and those relocating for work. It offers strong public transport links, a thriving job market, excellent healthcare and education, and a welcoming, multicultural community — all within easy reach of green spaces and the coast.

We stayed at Urban Rest on City Road in Southbank and loved it. The location was perfect – just a 10-minute walk straight down the road to the Melbourne Convention Centre, which made it super convenient for the event we were attending. The apartment was modern, very clean, and well-equipped, and we especially enjoyed the amenities and the heated outdoor pool. Overall, we had an amazing stay and would happily come back.
The apartment was immaculate, and amenities were second to none. It was comfortable, modern, and well-appointed in all respects - beautiful kitchen with Smeg appliances, coffee machine, laundry and drying rack, ironing, umbrella!! It was right on Swan Street with a tram stop at the nearby corner, and walking distance to supermarket, eating places, etc. So near the city!
Beautiful apartment and very clean. Cleaning staff did an amazing job!
The apartment was easily accessible, very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay.
Lovely little apartment for our getaway for Melbourne! Felt so spacious and the beds are so comfy! We will be booking again.
Location was perfect for us. We liked the place and friendly staff who assisted with check in.
I've stayed numerous times. The rooms are generous and well priced. I generally travel for work but have just booked my family in for a holiday in 2026 and we will be staying again.
The quality of the apartment - finishes, furniture. And the view!
The location was excellent for our stay there.
