The Sussex Vintage Haven near Albert Park Lake

Nestled just moments from Albert Park Lake, MSAC, and the Grand Prix circuit, this charming retreat blends heritage charm with contemporary convenience. Start your morning unwinding in the inviting living room by the gas fireplace, prepare a delicious meal in the modern kitchen, and end the day with an alfresco BBQ in the private courtyard. With central cooling and heating and permitted street parking, this pet-friendly haven offers a relaxing, hassle-free escape in the heart of South Melbourne.
From the moment you step through the leafy entrance, this home welcomes you with timeless elegance and vintage charm. Curl up on the leather sofas with a book by the classic gas fireplace, or unwind in the vibrant lounge chair as you stream your favourite show on the wall-mounted TV in the living room.

Pick up fresh produce from South Melbourne Market and prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with an oven, dishwasher and Nespresso machine. Share a relaxed meal at the six-seater dining table, or step into the private courtyard to fire up the gas BBQ and savour an alfresco feast at the rustic wooden dining set beneath the shade of an umbrella.

As the day winds down, retreat to three beautifully styled bedrooms, each adorned with elegant décor. Wake up in the primary suite, where a queen bed overlooks the courtyard, and start your day with a refreshing shower in the ensuite. Rest in style in the second bedroom, featuring a queen bed and a Victorian-style fireplace for decoration. In the third bedroom, sink into the double bed, grab a book from the built-in bookshelves, and relax in the armchair by the decorative fireplace.

End your day with a soothing soak in the clawfoot bathtub or enjoy a relaxing shower by the decorative fireplace in the family bathroom. Keep your wardrobe fresh throughout your stay with a washer and dryer. Stay comfortable year-round with central heating and air conditioning, and enjoy the convenience of one free street parking permit.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
