Apartment in South Yarra
Unique, Intimately Styled South Yarra Sanctuary
@__littlejourney__ Situated on Claremont Street, above South Yarra's most bustling cafe, Two Birds One Stone (type into web browser "broadsheet two birds one stone"). I guarantee you'll enjoy this perfectly positioned residence - The apartment is new and elegantly styled (OLY, Mezai, Coco Republic). It is a 1 bedroom with high ceilings on the 15th floor (there are 16 floors). It comes fully furnished with Sheridan linen (amazing flax linen is to die for) and fluffy Sheridan towels. An east facing corner apartment with Chapel Street and mountain views - no expense has been spared for you to enjoy this perfectly positioned residence. The apartment is just minutes walk away from an abundant mix of cafés and restaurants (see my guidebook for a comprehensive listing, otherwise I'll be sure to message you with a selection of cafes once your reservation is confirmed). I also adore the convenience of every single service (e.g. yoga, vegan cafe, supermarket (Western + Asian), dry cleaner, hairdressers, barbers, nail salons, banks, post office, bookshops and gift stores) - all right on your doorstep. The kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances, SMEG kettle, Royal Doulton cutlery and crockery, dishwasher and a dining table for 2. Rainshower in the bathroom. Aesop/Grwon Alchemist shower products. Diptyque candles. Bose iPod dock. Strong and fast unlimited WiFi. European laundry (with dryer).

This is the perfect apartment, suited to those seeking an above average stay - corporate professionals and discerning guests look no further! - South Yarra train station (5 minute walk) - CBD (7 minutes by train) - CBD (10 minutes by car) A car park is allocated for the duration of your stay (this is free). Additional bedding (one queen size airbed and one single size foam mattress can also be provided for additional guests, $35 charge per person per night). This is a well-positioned apartment, nestled away but still so close to all the action - it is perfect for either short or long stays. I welcome young (but mature folk), gay or lesbian, older folk, business folk, as well as overseas uni students and couples (my apartment is not for one night hook ups or just wanting a place to crash after partying over the weekend!). A short walk away is every kind of everything; Woolworths (5 mins), IGA (2 mins), Coles (15 mins), banks, pharmacy, yoga (10 mins), 24 hour gym (1 min), Botanical Gardens (15 mins), and so, so, so much more… If time permits I'm more then happy to share a tea or latte, or chai and my 7 years extensive knowledge of living in the SY area :) Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions – I'd be happy to help and will get back to you as soon as possible! Thanks for checking out my listing! Mia *I'd love to hear from you but I'd also love to hear about you!

Also Adriano Zumbo will cater to those with a penchant for delicious pastries and sweets. *Importantly, I am most averse to clutter, a self confessed OCD clean freak! My personal belongings are not in this apartment - this means plenty of wardrobe space for you, shelving, fridge space - the place should feel just like your own! *Cleaners will come through the apartment fortnightly if your stay is of the extended variety! *can also add a luxe experience to your stay for an additional $25 per trip :) little luxuries upgrade includes (to use) Chanel fragrances for him and her, Byredo fragrances, Diptyque fragrances, Aspar moisturiser, Aesop facial products (serums, moisturiser, eye cream), Chanel lip balm, Diptyque candles.

I love interacting with all my guests however much or little - don't hesitate to text, call or send me a message via Airbnb. I'm usually always very close by if you need me in the event of an (unlikely) emergency! South Yarra is a blend of fast and slow. The standard of living is high, the area is safe, and the food is excellent. Close to the CBD, the bay, and major shopping districts, it's perfect for living in true Melbourne style. 5 minute walk to South Yarra train station or tram on Toorak Rd, taking you direct into CBD. Car space available (free). preference for young couples from overseas / mature couples / business owners / professionals relocating or on long term contracts.

Your guide to Victoria

Welcome to Victoria

From its edgy, artsy, sports-mad capital of Melbourne to its bucolic spa country dotted with heritage towns, postcard-worthy winelands, and frosted mountains, the state of Victoria is as diverse as it is dramatic — drama in every sense of the word. On the events front, this equates to some of the world’s biggest arts shows. In nature, it’s about wild and wonderful landscapes, whether it’s the mountains (Great Dividing Range, Victorian Alps, Dandenong Ranges), national parks (Wilsons Promontory, Grampians, Great Otway), or beaches (Bells, Sorrento, Torquay).

In between lie charming historic towns founded during the Gold Rush era or after WWII, when an influx of migrants arrived in Victoria to start new lives and seek fortunes. Many found a fresh start on vineyards and farms, pioneering today’s thriving multicultural food and wine scene. Much of this centres on Melbourne, but the epicurean credentials also extend to small country towns, with vineyards and paddock-to-plate restaurants flourishing from the Yarra Valley to the Mornington Peninsula.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Victoria

Climatic differences between north and south Victoria, between sea level and the mountains, don’t bear comparison — one can sizzle while the other sees snow. Sometimes, you can experience both in a matter of hours, in the same place. Indeed, being prepared for four seasons in a day is a Melbournian motto, with weather in the capital notoriously unpredictable.

In spring, you can float along the Murray River, and explore its food-and-wine-rich shores; go anywhere coastal for whale watching; and hit the Dandenong Ranges for spring wildflowers. During summer, beaches and long days draw crowds to the Great Ocean Road over warmer months, and world-class tournaments attract tennis fans to Melbourne.

Autumn is harvest time in wine regions, with vineyards abuzz with activity, and the deciduous trees of the spa country are particularly pretty. In winter, the High Country ski regions of Mount Hotham, Mount Buller, Mount Stirling, Lake Mountain, and Dinner Plain are popular; or visit Melbourne for the football season.


Top things to do in Victoria

Explore Melbourne

Most trips to Victoria begin and end in Melbourne, known for its atmospheric neighbourhoods curving around Port Phillip Bay and hugging the Yarra River. Highlights are endless: eat your way through Polish delis in St Kilda, enjoy a dose of culture at the National Gallery of Victoria, shop boho stores in Brunswick, catch a football match at the MCG, and restaurant-hop through the city centre, its fabulous eateries hidden down graffiti-clad laneways.

Drive the Great Ocean Road

Dramatic rock formations and sheer sea cliffs; beachside towns where bare feet and salty hair seem obligatory; epic surf breaks and wildlife-rich national parkland; bottlenose dolphins and migrating whales — the Great Ocean Road is one of the world’s most legendary drives. Spanning 250 National Heritage-listed kilometres of Victoria’s southeast coastline, it offers attractions like the 12 Apostles, Gibson Steps, and Loch Ard Gorge.

Soak up spa country

Northwest of Melbourne, the Daylesford and Hepburn Springs regions reveal a European fairy tale. The leafy towns were settled by Swiss and Italian migrants, bringing handsome architecture and tasty culinary traditions — plus a love for relaxation. You can experience this resetting at any number of spas and bathhouses, capitalising on Australia’s largest concentration of natural mineral springs.
