Excellent apartments in a handy location.

Great apartments if you need to stay in the area for events at Flemington Raceway or the Showgrounds or for the Royal Children’s Hospital. Close to the trams and trains. The apartments are very modern, spacious and well equipped. The manager is extremely helpful and made the stay feel really homely. I would definitely stay there again when next in town.
