The view is amazing. The apartment had everything we needed. Free tram travel into the heart of the city with the tram stop out the front of the hotel. The local area was quite at night and plenty of different food places within easy walk. Would be happy to stay here again.

Mark Australia

Room was exceptional. View was stunning and Steve and Janet were fantastic on our arrival. The tram is right outside the door. Great restaurants and shops close by. We will definitely stay there again.

Fifibelle Australia

everything. amazing team, location and value for money.

Adnan Australia

Best View by Collins is worth every penny. The view, the staff and the location. They have very accommodating staff and the location is near the tram which is free when you go around Melbuorne city, and if you book tours it’s near most of pick up locations.

The views were awesome and both Steve and Janet were great hosts! Janet was very informative and accommodating weeks before we even came! She accommodated our party of 8 with no problems and even bought the 2 little boys in our group brand new single airbeds! Steve was super helpful and accommodating with a few extra hours parking for my visiting friends who are locals. Thank you Steve and Janet! I will definitely recommend your place to friends and family!!! Hope to see you again next time we are in melbourne!!!
