Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Balaclava

Great accommodation

Lovely apartment! Comfortable, spacious and located along the beautiful St. Kilda Road and directly across Fawkner Park. Beautiful area for strolls and bike rides and enjoying the amazing autumn sunshine. Owner is very responsive and allowed me to drop off my luggages in the morning. There’s a very recent construction just next to the building so it was abit noisy but other than that, I had a wonderful stay! Would consider staying here again for my future visits.

The apartment has a great location, easy to get around anywhere, only a few minutes walk to Queen Victoria Market where we can go there in the mourning to get some freshly baked breakfast. It’s clean and well equipped as well, Joanna gave us very clear guide on how to check in & out. A nice short stay for our family of three!

We loved our stay at John’s place! Everything was perfect, clean, and John was very flexible with letting us check in a bit early! Great place!

Great place in the heart of the city. Had everything that I needed, very convenient and location was perfect. close to tram, train stations. Nthati was very accommodating and responded rapidly to any questions. Will stay again.

The apartment was extremely clean with good access to all local sights and transport. Gockan was a great communicator and even granted us a late check out at 2pm due to an international flight we had. We greatly appreciated it.

Great spot to stay, easy walk to the train station so you can head into CBD with ease. Nice restaurants nearby and a supermarket around the corner.

This was a great place to stay, it’s important to remember that just because you are on the 18th floor doesn’t mean you are in a hotel. You are in an apartment with normal people living their lives, they are not on vacation. This place is really great for people who prefer to walk to get places, everything is close by so getting out to see and do things was really easy. And if we wanted to go farther away, driving is easier as you are just outside where traffic gets really busy from all the activity in the city. Andrew is quick to respond to any questions and has realistic expectations of his guests, next time I come to Melbourne I will definitely be checking to see if this place is available again.

Had a fantastic stay at Dr. Fred’s apartment in Southbank. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and hassle-free. The apartment was clean, exactly as advertised, and well-equipped for our needs. The location was perfect for our Grand Prix weekend in Melbourne, with easy access to public transport and also walkable to Albert Park if needed. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again for future Grand Prix trips!

We had a great stay at Meary's apartment! Everything went smoothly and communication was fantastic. The apartment had everything we needed and everywhere we wanted to go was either within walking distance or an easy tram ride away. The only negative we found was that the mattresses on the single beds were quite hard and bumpy which was a bit uncomfortable—something to bear in mind if you are sensitive to that kind of thing.

Andrew & Ros were great! Easy to deal with, flexible nice. The apartment was great for us, with family of 5. Close to the beach, parking onsite, close to the city, pool onsite. Would definitely book this place again!

Fantastic place to stray, Beautiful location, Close to everything, Daniela was a wonderful host, Very helpful and super responsive with communication, Beautiful apartment, Thanks Daniela,

I’ve traveled to Australia many times, and this is by far the most satisfying accommodation I’ve ever stayed in! Aster’s apartment is absolutely perfect for travelers. The location is unbeatable—close to public transport, restaurants, and major attractions, making it so convenient to explore the city. The apartment itself is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, from a modern kitchen to comfortable bedding and even little extras that made our stay feel luxurious. It’s clear that Aster and the team have put a lot of thought into making guests feel at home.

This apartment is highly recommended and worth to stay . It had a cozy, peaceful, very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere during my stayed, especially with those preset YouTube channels music on .. nice bath tub .. better than a hotel suite and felt like home… chocolate, different kinds of coffee and tea were provided generously… surroundings of building & apartment are very secure . The cleanliness of the apartment is rated 5 stars from The Super Host ! Perfect location within CBD and restaurants nearby … walking distance to train stations…and more places of tourist attraction… I wish everyone who stay in every apartment could taking of it as taking care of own home .

A beautiful apartment close to South Bank. It's close to the market and trams as well. walkable to most places and a safe neighbourhood. The owners are exceptional host who went out of their way to help us. The apartment is beautiful and has a character of its own reflecting the personality of the hosts. I will definitely return. Thank you Simon & Petir.

If I had to use one word to describe our stay it would be generous: Thank you so much for allowing us to use your lovely house as our base: It's gorgeous, roomy and homely. It's also well placed for getting around Melbourne. Griselda is also the most generous and responsive of hosts with lots of supplies for us when we arrived that were most were most welcome. The house is also very generous with all the space and things that make it feel like home. The house is much bigger than it appears on the photographs and has lots of different living areas internally and externally. We couldn't have been happier during our time here. It really was a home away from home for the weeks we have stayed. Thanks again and lovely to have visited:-))

Great place for a weekend stay! Clean and well designed with easy walk to cafe and grocery store. Check in and check out was streamlined and communication was fantastic.

Fantastic month long stay at this brilliant property in St Kilda. The house was so spacious and Kerri was such a welcoming host, cannot recommend this enough. Will hopefully be back again next year to stay in the same location!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. Rachel and Young were very responsive and accommodating for our needs. We had a great experience.

A perfect place for our family of 5 to spend 4 nights. Heidi and Tim are A+ hosts whose extra touches are greatly appreciated. Location is superb and the community leaves you wishing you could move here. House was spotless, deck was perfect for dinner. For us, extremely convenient to sandbelt golf courses. We would love to come back and would be delighted to stay here again.

Beautiful and spacious home. Jennifer was great to communicate with. If we are in the area again, I would choose to stay again. Thank you for having us.

Beautiful home with lots of space. Really appreciated the coffee and milk varieties that were stocked. We had a great stay here!

Stjohn is a great host. He is very welcoming, friendly and happy to help. His property is in a great location being in close proximity to the city. The property has alll the amenities we needed with a great tv. Would most certainly stay here again. Thank you!
