“fantastic view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

location is very good & the view from the balcony was brilliant. Other than the Master bedroom the other bedrooms are quite small & cramped . The amenities are quite good . General cleaning of the apartment is done only once a week. easy access to the free tram & bus service for tourists . Also there is a department store located conveniently . fair amount of restaurants close by but all a little pricey.

Room Tip: Chose a apartment with a view of the harbor.

“Ticks all the boxes!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Clean, comfortable, convenient ..... a fantastic place to stay! Lovely view over the boardwalk & water, a multitude of cafe's & restaurants (or the aparment is well equipped if you prefer to dine in), 'hop, step & jump' to the tram stop. The perfect alternative if you don't want to stay in the heart of the city. Furthermore, the staff were incredibly friendly & helpful! Would definately recommend.

Room Tip: I think all of the rooms face the water, but if not, i would definately request this!

Room Tip: get the rooms that faces the water and city!!!!!

“Great location and lovely apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

people found this review helpful

We got a special deal on Wotif for this apartment. The location is great being just on the edge of the CBD but within walking distance of lots of places. The free tram stops almost right outside to take you to all parts of the city. There was an IGA supermarket just around the corner. I think the apartment came with a free carpark but we did not use this facility. Check in was fast and we had just a short walk to the apartment. We had an upgrade to a 2 bedroom apartment and there was heaps of room for the three of us. The apartment was nearly new and very clean. We will definitely stay here again.

“Modern spacious rooms with terrific views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

I spent a Saturday evening at the apartment @ docklands with some good friends and I really enjoyed my stay there. All rooms were clean, modern and fresh. For those who prefer to cook and eat in, the kitchen area had enough space and utensils for you to cook up a storm. If you don’t want to eat in there are plenty of fabulous (good fish n chips) restaurants right at the door step for you to choose from too. I have to add that I was in awe of the decking area out the back which lead on to a huge in ground pool which had pretty special views of Melbourne CBD. Being July I can’t say I tested it out, but I certainly wanted to. The service I got from the staff was friendly and pleasant.
