We have a fantastic location just on the southern side of the city, in the heart of South Yarra which is home to the beautiful Botanical Gardens and many trendy restaurants and bars. You can walk through the park and along the Yarra river to get into the city or you could just hop on the tram which takes about 5 minutes. There is shopping and dining to cater for all budgets along Toorak Rd and Chapel Street.

All trams and trains are within walking distance.

We have over fifty rooms which vary in size from small singles to large doubles, budget twins, family rooms, a few dorms (most of our dorm rooms have a balcony!) and are well equipped with a colour TV, fridge, microwave, kettle, heater, wardrobe and dressing table. None of our rooms have en-suite bathrooms but there are plenty of bathrooms located close by in each corridor.

We have a fully equipped communal kitchen and provide a help yourself continental breakfast with help yourself tea, coffee, cereals, orange juice, preserves and bread - all included in the price. You are welcome to use our kitchen and cook for yourself just as long as you are willing to clean up!
