Property Highlights

Boutique Stays in Melbourne's Most Sought-After Neighbourhoods

Styled With Character

Every apartment has its own look and feel. We furnish and style each one from scratch, so no two stays are the same. You get a space that actually feels like somewhere worth being, not a copy-paste rental.

Walk To Everything

Our properties are on or near Smith Street and Brunswick Street in Fitzroy and Collingwood. Cafes, bars, restaurants, and live music are a short walk away. Trams to the CBD are at the door. Supermarkets, gyms, and everything else you need are within a few minutes.

Properly Cleaned, Every Time

Our cleaning team deep cleans every property after every guest. Fresh linen, restocked supplies, and nothing left behind from the last stay. We check every property before you arrive.

Everything You Need

Fast WiFi, Smart TVs, split-system heating and cooling, full kitchens, coffee machines, and self check-in as standard. Most properties also have off-street parking and a desk setup for working from home. We stock the essentials so you can settle in straight away.
