DESCRIPTION:
Melbourne Central is an individual apartment in the huge QV1 complex of shops, cafes and restaurants right in the middle of Melbourne CBD. It's hard to beat having Woolworths, Big W, Dan Murphys, a medical centre, pharmacy, post office, banks ATMs, office works and hairdressers etc in the same building. This building has a security entrance, which combines the beauty of a magnificent modern building with brilliant facilities such as a fully enclosed 25m lap pool and gymnasium with city views.
Perfect for four, Melbourne Central is a two-bedroom apartment: with two splittable king beds. (Please note that we don't split the king beds unless you ask us to).
It has a fully equipped kitchen, huge living and dining area, one bathroom and its own laundry facilities. Your boutique apartment includes high quality furnishings and appliances, linen, towels, as well as a 50 UHD Smart TV in the living area, and a smaller Smart TV with Netflix in the main bedroom. The opening windows allow fresh air into the apartment when you want it. All windows have blockout blinds.
This apartment does not accommodate children.
(Note from the owner:
We fell in love with the location and view from our apartment. It is great for playing eyespy with the kids or watching the world go by. The panorama from the gym and pool on the top floor is also amazing. Shopping is on your doorstep and the convenience of Woolworths, Dan Murphys and eateries downstairs from the building is handy. We have furnished the apartment to be stylish and comfortable. We enjoy visiting Melbourne and staying in our apartment when we can. We hope you enjoy our apartment as much as we do.)
LOCATION:
It has a Walk Score of 84 out of 100. This location is a Walkers Paradise so daily errands do not require a car. It is a two minute walk from the 30 Etihad Stadium Docklands - St Vincents Plaza tram, and the 35 free city tram at the 7-Russell St/La Trobe St (Melbourne City) stop. Nearby parks include Eight Hour Reserve, Burton Reserve and Parliament Gardens.
You will love the centrality of Melbourne Central. It is only a short walk from Chinatown, and some of the best shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars in Australia are on your doorstep. Melbourne Central shopping centre, the Bourke Street Mall, Carlton Gardens and Melbourne Museum/imax theatre, Crown Casino and the aquarium are all within easy walking distance.
The tram stops are just on the corner. You can enjoy a walk to some of the best-known sporting venues, markets and arts venues in the country. Inner Melbourne and the nearby Southbank Promenade are famous for their world-class restaurants, shops and of course, Crown Casino. In addition, there are multiple food outlets, buskers and arts crafts events. Just south of the Casino is South Melbourne shopping strip, and the famous South Melbourne Markets. Just north of QV1 is the Queen Victoria Markets where you can buy just about anything from groceries and meat to clothing and jewellery.
Getting There
The easiest way to get to Melbourne Central from anywhere is to get a taxi, Uber or Ola ride; including from Tullamarine Airport. Alternative transport from the airport is also relatively easy; take the Skybus from outside the airport terminal to Southern Cross train station in downtown Melbourne, then go to Platform 12 and take the Pakenham Train to Melbourne Central Railway Station. From there it is a five-minute walk to 22-24 Jane Bell Lane.
