River-view balcony, free parking

Wake to sunrise over the Yarra from Level 35, with your first coffee on the balcony. A calm, modern 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for couples, families and business travellers — secure on-site parking included, and Southern Cross Station a short walk away. Double-glazed windows, fast Wi-Fi and a proper desk. The building pool, spa, sauna, steam room and gym run 5am–11pm. Self check-in, any hour, and the Free Tram Zone and the CBD start across the road.

Mornings are the reason to book this one. From Level 35 the Yarra runs below you and the city opens out in front, and the sunrise comes up over it while you have your first coffee on the balcony. It happens every clear morning of the year.
A well-proportioned two-bedroom, two-bathroom home on a high floor where the CBD meets the river — modern, calm and set up properly for real life, whether you are here for three nights or three months.
Great for
• Business travellers and remote workers — Southern Cross Station on foot, a proper desk and monitor, fast unlimited Wi-Fi
• Couples — sunrise, a private balcony and a quiet high floor away from street level
• Families of up to four — two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a travel cot, high chair and children`s dinnerware already here
• Event, concert and conference guests — Marvel Stadium, the Convention Centre and Crown all within a walk
• Weekenders exploring Southbank, Crown, DFO South Wharf and the Docklands waterfront
• Colleagues sharing — two bathrooms and a flexible second bedroom make it work properly for two adults
• Longer stays — full kitchen, in-apartment laundry, workspace and better rates the longer you stay
What you`ll love
• Wake to sunrise over the Yarra — Level 35, with river and skyline in the same frame through double-glazed windows
• Take your coffee outside — a private balcony, and the best seat in the apartment on a still morning
• Sleep properly — a queen bed with its own ensuite in the main bedroom, two singles in the second, convertible to a king with 72 hours` notice; two pillows per bed, one soft and one memory foam
• Two full bathrooms — the detail that makes four guests, or two colleagues, actually comfortable
• Work a full day without improvising — desk, chair, 27-inch monitor, keyboard, mouse and a USB-C adapter for your laptop
• Cook a real meal — full kitchen with dishwasher, cookware and utensils, plus oil, salt, pepper, coffee pods and tea to start you off
• Wash mid-trip — an in-apartment combined washer–dryer, so you travel home with a clean bag
• Swim, steam and train — the building`s pool, spa, sauna and steam room on Level 1 and gym on Level 2, open 5am–11pm, seven days
• Change the scene without leaving the building — a shared study room on the upper ground floor, useful when you need a desk that is not in your own living room
• Park without a second thought — one secure on-site space included in your rate, for vehicles up to 2.1 m high; full directions come before you arrive
• Arrive on your own schedule — self check-in, 24 hours a day, from a secure key locker inside the building itself, so there is no shop to reach before closing
• Settle in — streaming-ready TV, a Bluetooth speaker with FM radio, and a carbon monoxide alarm and smoke sensor for peace of mind
Two things guests come back for: on clear mornings, hot-air balloons drift low across the city at sunrise and pass right in front of the windows, and on 31 December the outlook makes an unusual vantage point for Melbourne`s New Year`s Eve fireworks. Both are weather-dependent and set by others, so we can never promise them — but when they happen from up here, they are the photographs guests send us afterwards.
Honest notes
• This is a high floor in a city building. Open the windows and you will hear the city; closed properly, the double glazing shuts it out remarkably well. On windy days you may notice some airflow sound, which is normal this high up. Earplugs are provided for lighter sleepers.
• Climate is split-system air conditioning and heating in the living area and the ensuite bedroom, with a tower fan and a portable oil heater for the second bedroom.
• The building`s reception and 24/7 concierge are the building`s own team, not ours. They are helpful with the front door, but anything to do with the apartment comes straight to us.
• The apartment and the balcony are entirely smoke- and vape-free, as is the building — please step outside the building to smoke.
• Lifts can take a moment at peak times, as they do in any tall tower.
• This is boutique serviced accommodation, not a hotel: hotel-grade linen, professional cleaning before you arrive and a starter pack of essentials, but no daily housekeeping. From 21 nights we schedule a refresh clean — fresh linen, restock and a general clean — charged separately.
• A monitor in the hallway measures smoke and sound levels only. It cannot hear or record conversations.

The whole apartment is yours, along with the building`s shared facilities.
Arrival. Self check-in from 3pm, any hour of the day or night. Your keys wait in a secure locker inside the building itself — no shop to reach before closing, no meeting anyone — and we send step-by-step directions with photos the day before you arrive. Check-out is 10am. Early check-in and late check-out are subject to availability on the day, and approved requests may incur a $60 per hour fee.
Parking. One secure on-site space is included in your rate, with the entrance beside the building`s main entrance. Vehicles up to 2.1 m high fit comfortably — worth checking your dimensions if you are hiring a van or a roof-boxed 4WD. Full parking directions come with your arrival instructions.
Building facilities. The pool, spa, sauna and steam room are on Level 1 and the gym is on Level 2, open 5am–11pm, seven days a week. There is also a shared study room on the upper ground floor. All are the building`s facilities, and hours can occasionally change for maintenance. You will have the fob you need.
Concierge. The building has its own 24/7 reception and concierge. They are not connected to our service, so for anything about the apartment, message or call us directly — we answer quickly.

We are Nat and Mat, a two-person team who have been hosting in Melbourne for over eight years. Our portfolio is small on purpose, which means you are messaging the people who chose the pillows and know which lift is quicker — not a call centre.
We are as present or as invisible as you would like. Everything you need to arrive smoothly comes before you get here, and once you are in, you have the apartment entirely to yourself. If something comes up, message us on the platform or call — we reply quickly, in English or Spanish, and we would much rather fix something during your stay than read about it afterwards.
Do ask us for recommendations. After eight years we have opinions about coffee.

You are at the western edge of the Melbourne CBD, where Flinders Street meets the Yarra. The postal address reads Docklands because the boundary runs along the street — cross the road and you are in the city proper. It is a modern, walkable pocket: river on one side, Southern Cross Station on the other, the Docklands waterfront a short stroll the other way, and the Free Tram Zone running from your door.
