Great value, large apartment that is conveniently located to the Yarra Valley, Dandenong and most of the east side of Melbourne. And with all the facilities you need for a longer stay.

Leonard Singapore

Location was so convenient for us. A "central" place for us to base ourselves as in Victoria for our daughters wedding which was in the Yarra Valley. The villa was so well set up for anyone wanting to stay for a long period of time - highly recommend.

John Australia

The apartment was located very central to our wedding venue ..was very quiet and private

Christine Australia

The villas were in a great place close to facilities. The property managers were helpful and amazing to deal with. We all had a fantastic time staying at Bungunyah Villas.

Morgan\'s Australia

The property was cosy, comfortable and clean. It was in a good location to family around the area.

Maria Australia

Easy check-in process, great communication and lovely space to spend time together as a family. The biscuits were a nice touch!

Lakshini New Zealand

We loved that the accommodation was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equiped with everythingwe needed. Communicating with management was easy and effective. Even though there were villa's all around us it was still quiet, private and had a lovely well cared for garden. 😍✨️

Annette Australia

The apartment was absolutely superb! The location of the property was great and close to shops as well as the Yarra Valley. The park a few steps away was a hidden gem for the kids! Communication with the host was excellent! We hope to return again soon!

Lisa Australia

The location was excellent - close to the shops and everything else we needed. We were able to duck out to the Yarra valley easily for sight seeing. The villa was comfortable, spacious and well appointed. The park next door has a lovely playground. All interactions with support staff were courteous and helpful, and an appropriate level.

Alison Australia

Owners were easy to communicate with. Very understanding with booking arrangements. Will definitely book with them again

Company info

Bungunyah's historic homestead circa 1800's is now owned privately and resides within the property remaining an integral part of Bungunyah's and Croydon's community heritage. The villa units are built on over an acre of beautiful gardens which ensures privacy and independence from other guests. The owners being Sean and Tracy de Klerk, take enormous pride in ensuring the villas are well maintained and spotlessly clean with beautiful gardens for all to enjoy despite taking a behind the scenes management position. Henriette Cooper - Bungunyah's manager oversees the day to day running of the guest relations and ensures guest's needs are met from the moment they contact Bungunyah until their departure. We are a friendly team who take pride in our work and endeavour to make Bungunyah Apartments 'the place to stay' in the eastern region of Melbourne.

Property info

Bungunyah Apartments are owned and operated by Sean and Tracy de Klerk, with Henriette Cooper being our Manager and Kellie, Lois and Chelsea being our cleaning team. Our vision is to provide self catered spacious home like villa units rather than the usual multi storey complex so often seen in the eastern region of Melbourne. This vision includes individual gardens, spotless and immaculately maintained villa units, well stocked with utensils and utilities just like home that provide distance and privacy from other guests ensuring a peaceful environment. Our mission is to maintain this high standard of service and to encourage our guests to contact us if they have particular needs or concerns.

Neighborhood info

Located on over 1 acre of beautiful gardens situated well off the main road in Croydon. Croydon is an eastern suburb of Melbourne close to Ringwood, Lilydale, Kilsyth, Boronia and Bayswater within an easy 30 minute drive of the city. The cosmopolitan township of Croydon has multiple cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. Croydon station is on a direct line to Melbourne and takes approx 45 mins. Only 10 minutes to the Yarra Valley Wine district and the Dandenong Ranges where guests can enjoy the Puffing Billy Steam Train through Sherbrooke forest or get up close and personal with Koalas and Kangaroos at the Australian Fauna Park at Healesville Sanctuary.
