If I am unavailable for any reason, my neighbours and friends will welcome you and show you everything that you need, we are a very close-knit community and have regular floor social activities.

Neighbourhood highlights

From my balcony you look out over the heart of Chapel Street and can see the iconic Prahran Market with its large selection of gourmet foods and fresh produce, open every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Shopping, fashion, dining and entertainment are the main features of South Yarra's extensive commercial precinct.

Busy Chapel Street is lined with exclusive retail outlets, cafes, clubs, the popular Jam Factory entertainment complex, the Como Centre and Vogue Shopping Plaza and Pran Central Shopping Centre.

South Yarra is one of Melbourne's oldest and most affluent inner-city suburbs, bordered by the Yarra River, Richmond to the north, Prahran to the south and Toorak to the east.

Many of South Yarra's residential areas consist of attractive tree-lined streets, clusters of terrace houses and apartment buildings. There are also several historic mansions; including Como House, which is open to the public every day of the week.

South Yarra has a large selection of parkland for visitors and residents to enjoy, the beautiful Fawkner Park, the Yarra River and the Royal Botanical Gardens are all gorgeous for a walk, jog or run or simply reading a book. The Royal Botanical Gardens also hosts the Open Air Moonlight Cinema during Summer.

If you are coming to town for the Australian Open, AFL, NRL, Grand Prix, etc, all the major entertainment and sporting venues are all in walking distance.

Or if your family is anything like mine, not from Melbourne and prone to accidents, you may just need accomodation to be near a loved one during a trying time whilst they are in hospital, my apartment is close to many of the major hospitals, The Alfred 1.1km, The Avenue 1.2km, Epworth Richmond 3km and The Royal Melbourne (common for country affiliations) 6.1km, Royal Womens and Royal Childrens are right next door to the Royal Melbourne.
