We’ll appointed and clean room with cosy feel. Great location. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate our stay in these testing times.

Tina Australia

Location was perfect for a keen walker. And close to eateries

Pea Australia

Quirky terrace with good sense interior in a quiet suburb with lots of Italian cafes and restaurants. Sitting down enjoying happy hour at a cozy outside courtyard was also lovely.

Sayoko Australia

I have been here pre COVID but I think the terrace is even better now. Ken really pays attention to detail and making sure that guests are very comfortable and welcome. The studio with sofa bed room is spacious, really fresh and inviting, the linen and bed were great quality. Everything that I needed for 3 nights was catered for. I highly recommend staying here. Hosts are very kind and respond quickly to requests.

Joy Australia

Great little apartment, was really nice for just 2 people, bedding was great, room was clean and near everything! Highly recommended.

Mason Australia

Great location in a quiet street, close to the food venues of Lygon Street. Well communicated self entry to the accommodation and comfortably set up for an overnight stay. Compact but serviceable kitchen and bathroom. A very comfortable bed and nice flat screen TV for bed time viewing of free to air programs - if there is indeed the need.

Lisa Australia

Had a couch in the room. Large windows you could open. Short walk to Lygon Street.

Louise Australia

Location, quiet inside and outside, excellent communication

Dean Australia

Excellent location. Very, very comfortable bed. Clean bathroom and kitchen. Good quality towels and linen. A good bedside reading lamp (very important!!!). I also loved the window that opens for fresh air.

Bernadette Australia

Great location for what we wanted to do in Melb. Had what we wanted for a one night stay.

Do you want a change from Melbourne hotels? Yes? Then choose to enjoy a 152 years old Victorian terrace home built in 1866 for a French count. Boutique. Unique. Self contained studios. Homely, cosy. Safe. Private courtyard. Windows that open. Cared for by smiling hosts, eager to share (if you wish) their intimate knowledge of Carlton's unmatched (yet sometimes hidden) culinary delights, fashion flair, edgy street-style. Our fantastic location makes dining easy. Around one corner in Lygon Street, the colorful Italian coffee mecca, are more than 80 cafes and restaurants. Enjoy wine? Cheese? Chocolate? Pate? All just two minutes away. Around another corner, the iconic Royal Exhibition Building. Five minutes stroll to two major universities and three top hospitals. Eight minutes to the humming CBD. Click on one of our studios below to find out more about our Melbourne Accommodation.
Carlton Terrace @ Drummond Street is a quiet neighbourhood of Heritage Terrace Houses. You won't believe how convenient Drummond St Carlton is. It is just on the fringe of the City Skyline. A walking distance to Parliament Station, St Patrick's Cathedral, Carlton Exhibition Gardens and the Melbourne Museum One street away to the West is Lygon Street with many fine shops, restaurants and coffee houses. You can check out the coffee at Brunetti Carlton, an Italian cafe which opens very early in the morning - 6AM and closes at 11pm. It offers coffee and cakes to match the best in Milan or Rome. And if you are an Ice Cream lover, the PIDAPIPO GELATERIA is a MUST TRY!! People queue for their ice cream during winter. DOC in Lygon Street offers an authentic Italian Style, and DOC restaurant on the corner of Drummond and Faraday Streets offers some of the best Pizzas in Melbourne.
