Its open-plan living area flows to a large deck with alfresco dining to soak up the sunshine and fresh bayside air. A high-end kitchen is designed around a central island and ensures plenty of space to prepare meals on top-quality appliances and cooking utensils. Come together for a shared meal around the dining table or discover plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars close by. Relax on the family-sized lounge, enjoying a spot of TV. Please note, there are no live free to air TV channels, however the channels are offered on demand and you have access to the smart features of the TV. Central air-conditioning and heating keep things comfortable in all rooms no matter what season you are travelling in. Both bedrooms are designed as havens to start and end your day. The primary bedroom highlights a queen-sized bed, its own TV and a walk-in wardrobe for storing your belongings. It also comes with a full ensuite bathroom.

This system seems to work well.

Bounded by the sandy shore of Elwood Beach, life here feels like you’re on holiday. Neighbouring St Kilda, the bayside suburb of Elwood is known for its bike paths that run along the scenic foreshore and a vibrant café culture along Ormond Road. There are farmers markets held on the second and fourth Saturday of the month in the local primary school and pretty parks and reserves for a picnic. Start the day with brunch at Plain Sailing, grab a smoothie from Combi and drink and dine at The Milton. Hop on a train from Elwood station for an easy ride into the CBD.
