(Note from Owner: whilst Melbourne is our home, we currently live overseas and bought this apartment to enjoy when we often stay in Melbourne. It has been furnished to be comfortable “home away from home” rather than just a serviced apartment. So it is a really great place to stay, and super comfortable. You can enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony (Melbourne weather permitting) whilst taking in the view of Melbourne city. We also love the trams right out front, so it is so easy to get around. You can wander across the road to the Southbank Promenade with all the great restaurants, a short walk to South Melbourne Market for some delicious food, or take a tram ride into the city or to Port Melbourne to enjoy the beach. It is really a perfect place for to enjoy Melbourne)!
NB: Many of our apartments are pet-friendly!
Extra vehicle parking available. Long term stays are also welcome.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for your review. StayCentral's Cityside in Southbank is so loved because of the apartment setup, the view of the city and the location.

Response from the owner I couldn't agree more Brooke, and thank you for your review. It really is so easy to get to these places. You can walk to the market, the city or just around the corner to the Southbank Promenade, which is rich in great cafes, restaurants and bars. There aren't that many two-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms around Southbank, so yes, this is great for mum and dad and the kids. I'm glad you enjoyed the facilities also; the pool, gym and tennis court do come in handy sometimes. I do hope that we see you or your friends again.

Response from the owner I love it when our guests return to the same apartment! It says so much, even without further details, but I appreciate your informative comments.

Response from the owner Thank you Jane for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom is a good size isn't it? Really close to the CBD and the casino, with the trams just out the front, it is also a great location. The owners are about to give it a spruce up shortly, but even without that, so many people have enjoyed staying here. I'm glad that you and your parents enjoyed it too. Cheers, Chris McDonald, StayCentral short stay apartments.

Response from the owner Thanks David, for taking the time to leave this review. It really is a great location isn't it? I love the tram stop out the front; goes to Port Melbourne or St Kilda, or back into the city and anywhere from there! The owners spared no expense in furnishing this apartment, (even the king bed is worth more than $5,000), so I'm glad you liked it. I hope you return and try one of our other 20 apartments next time; just for a bit of variety? Cheers, Chris. StayCentral (long stay & short stay) apartments, Melbourne

Response from the owner Thank you for your great review. I know we are looking after our guests when they continue returning. StayCentral on Whiteman (Cityside) really is a great spot isn't it? You can walk or tram it to anywhere in Melbourne; literally from in front of your building. I too have enjoyed many great nights in restaurants along the nearby Southbank promenade, so I share your fascination with the location. I look forward to assisting you again.
