The bedroom has plenty of storage and a tasteful bathroom where you can slip into a nice warm bath with its shower over. The parking is at the back of the property via security gates. From the living and dining area, you can enjoy views into the grounds of ‘Moira’ – a beautiful Victorian mansion built in the 1850s.

St Kilda is a cosmopolitan mecca of magnificent mansions, worker’s cottages, apartment blocks and bustling villages that attracts an eclectic array of people. Our Retro Rose is located between Chapel Street and St Kilda Road, walking distance to the beautiful Alma Park and Albert Park Lake for some peace and tranquility. Albert Park Lake is renowned for the Australian Grand Prix, and many locals use it as a training ground with its 4.8 kilometres of walking trails around the lake. Fitzroy Street is walking distance, where you will find trendy restaurants for all budgets, night life, classic pubs and essentials. Enjoy a night at the Astor Theatre where you can see the latest blockbusters or special events with Hollywood actors discussing their latest movie. Wander down to Carlisle Street to have a different buzz of excitement with its vegan cafes, coffee houses and international cuisines, or tickle the tastebuds along Acland Street, a street renowned for its European cakes, live music and lazy Sunday brunches. While you’re in Acland Street, visit Luna Park for an afternoon of amusement park fun, walk down to St Kilda Beach to take in the salt, sand and sea, or lap up the fine dining at Donovans, Stokehouse or Republica. A visit to St Kilda must also include a lunch or live music at The Espy or see a concert at The Palais Theatre. For a bit of history, our stay is only metres from the Jewish Museum of Australia. If you need to be close to a loved one, we are also highly accessible to The Afred Hospital, The Avenue Hospital and The Windsor Private Hospital.
