Perfect for those looking to start life in Melbourne needing a place to stay, ducking into Melbourne for a short conference or visiting family and friends, this shared villa gives you privacy, while offering a clean, neatly appointed place with everything you need including a shared cosy lounge, a retro kitchen/meals area, 2 shared bathrooms, 2 toilets, and 2 outdoor areas to sit and shoot the breeze.
Tucked away on Dawson Avenue and only footsteps to Victoria University, surrounded by beautiful parks, Footscray City College and the Maribyrnong River and only metres to Western Hospital, this private shared villa gives you peace of mind, casual comfort and convenience. Walk down Droop Street to the heart of Footscray for a cosmopolitan array of cafes, restaurants and deli options including 8-bit, Small Graces and Roti Road, wine bars including the Cheeky Pint, the Footscray Market, essential shopping and transport. For AFL lovers, you can catch the Bulldogs train at Whitten Oval or be in the city within minutes to catch a game at Marvel Stadium or the MCG. For race-goers, Flemington Racecourse is literally over the river, and the Melbourne Showgrounds and a little further afield. On 10 minute from the centre of Melbourne you’ll be spoiled for entertainment with so many events, concerts, expos and festivals every week – you could go to The Comic’s Lounge in North Melbourne for a laugh, The Princess Theatre for a world-stage theatrical event or Crown Casino for a night of pure entertainment.
The Droop Street tram at your door will take you to Highpoint Shopping Centre in one direction, and Footscray train station in the other, by-passing all the amazing eateries along the way. The train is 6.4km from Melbourne’s CBD, or 3 stops to Southern Cross station if you need a regional or interstate train, or the Skybus to the airport. There are also buses nearby, and you can easily order an Uber, tax or find a Lime motor scooter.
Rooms are priced for one person only. Couples may be considered for $70/week extra.
