Two-Bedroom Apartment
The apartment includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, with a terrace, balcony, and a fully equipped kitchenette. Some units offer views of Melbourne's skyline. The bedroom includes a comfortable bed, and the living area features a TV with Netflix access. The kitchen includes basic cookware and appliances, though guests may need to bring their own cooking oil, salt, pepper, and extra coffee sachets.
Kitchen
There is no onsite restaurant. The kitchenette is equipped with a stovetop, microwave, and refrigerator, but lacks some essentials like tongs, oven mitt, and extra tea towels. Guests can buy groceries at Coles, which is a short walk away. Several cafés and KBBQ spots are nearby, including Korean barbecue restaurants.
Leisure
Guests have access to an indoor heated pool, sauna, steam room, and a fitness room. There is also a private garden and an outdoor terrace. Note that pool and gym access requires activation of your key fob by reception during limited hours. The property also offers a hair salon downstairs, which provides pampering services.
Location
Southern Cross Luxe Retreat is less than 1 km from Southern Cross Station, which connects to major train lines and tram routes. The Melbourne City Conference Centre and Crown Casino Melbourne are nearby. Essendon Fields Airport is 11 km away. Boating opportunities are available in the surrounding area. The location is convenient for events at Marvel Stadium and offers easy access to public transport, with Coles and various dining options within walking distance.
Amenities
The property provides free WiFi throughout, air conditioning, heating, and a lift. Family rooms are available, and the building has 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, and smoke alarms. There is no concierge or room service. Check-in instructions are sent via QR code, but some guests have reported issues with the link and key collection. The pool and gym access must be activated by reception.
“Melbourne's skyline unfolds with breathtaking clarity from these modern apartments, a vista made even more captivating by the occasional sight of hot air balloons drifting by. The convenience is palpable, with transport, dining, and shops just steps away, while the building's amenities like the pool and sauna add a welcome layer of leisure. It's this blend of stunning views and prime accessibility, underscored by excellent host communication, that truly defines the experience.”
