“Perfect stay in Melbourne”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

We stayed 4 nights and everyone was so pleased with the apartment. It was way better than we had envisaged. Apartment was very well appointed with everything you need from appliances to cutlery/ crockery. The beds were very comfortable with each bedroom having a ensuite bathroom. The location was great for the docklands area and easy access to the CBD. The tourist tram passes right outside. Lots of eateries nearby and a small convenience store near the entrance. A direct factory outlet shopping mall across the bridge and a nearby Safeway and lots mire. The management were very helpful, they contacted us on our arrival in Melbourne, met us at the entrance and guided us to our allotted parking space and even helped us with our luggage to the apartment. All in all a very enjoyable visit and would definitely stay again if in Melbourne. Will be recommending to our family and friends.

Thank you so much for your feedback and we were thrilled that you found the apartment better than you had envisaged. There are so many benefits of staying in a self catering apartment, as it feels more like a home away from home, with all the benefits of city living. As you mentioned our location is fabulous being so close to the CBD, with easy access to the free City Circle Tram. We will look forward to another opportunity to host you at our property in the near future.

“couldnt be anymore perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was beautifully furnished and designed.
Everything and anything we needed were at our fingertips.
Great location, great services avaliable; especially the gym and the pool.
Very well kept and i recommend this accomodation to anyone who wants to stay close enough to melbourne city without all the noise. Great location to resturants and public transport. Great views.
We were personally met by the owner Belinda and she explained what was avaliable to us.
One of my highlights of travelling.
Absolutely stunning!

We greatly appreciate your response about your stay with us in 2010. We are glad you didn’t forget us and we will look forward to your next visit. Unfortunately since your were last here, access to the pool and gym is now no longer available to short term guests, due to health and safety reasons. However we have a gym across the road for guests that require that facility.

“Fantastic location and wonderful hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment that was just beautiful. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated with everything that you would ever need. Location was brilliant with easy access to everything. The hospitality was fantastic and very professional. Would definately stay there again.
Great for business or pleasure . Would also recommend eating at a great Thai Restuarant (the nine elephants) which is very close. Thanks again will definately be back !

“Best of 20”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

All the other comments cover the detail, I would just like to add that having just returned home to the UK after 7 weeks in touring Eastern Australia staying in some beautiful accommodation on the way it was when we got to Melbourne and stayed in the Docklands Executive Apartments we realised what quality, service and class was all about.

“Simply stunning!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

This apartment is simply stunning! Exceptionally clean, organised and well equipped even down to a shopping trolley for our use. On arrival we were personally met by Paul who then helped with our luggage and after showing us around the apartment went on to inform us of the places to visit and how to get there including local supermarket, public transport and outlet shopping which were all within walking distance. My husband asked where the nearest Telstra shop was as he required assistance regarding his mobile - Paul personally drove us there and back which was very much appreciated indeed. We felt totally welcomed to Melbourne and this apartment and if at any time during our stay we required assistance, Paul and Belinda were there to help us. Last but not least, my daughter left her iPod in the dock at the apartment and on realizing this and texting Belinda to inform her, she promptly put it in the post the same day. Thank you Paul and Belinda - our stay at your apartment could not have been improved on! We will definitely be back.
