Swap the office and bluestone cobble lanes of the city for a nature getaway to the suburbs. This single-level one-bedroom apartment contains everything you’ll need, in a cosy space and more. Swim laps in the residential 25-meter indoor pool or socialise in the BBQ area, while a fully-fitted gym lets you stay active. Inside, a separate work area and WiFi lets you work through the morning undistracted, leaving you free in the afternoon to explore the hidden natural gems throughout the neighbourhood, including Melbourne Zoo, just a short walk away. The open plan layout gives a spacious feel, while the plush convertible sofa can sleep two guests in front of flat-screen TV providing the perfect spot to relax. A self-contained kitchen with full cooking facilities, and a separate dining area, makes whipping up a home-cooked meal easy. Step out onto the balcony to stretch your legs and enjoy the uninterrupted view over Parkville greenery. The bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, with two fashionable stone bedside tables that hold everything you need. The bathroom is also newly renovated, with a walk-in shower, toilet and large mirrored vanity. In-unit washing machine and dryer are available for guest use. The apartment has central heating and cooling.

Perfectly situated just a 15 minute stroll away from Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, this cozy apartment is surrounded by open parkland and reserves. Wind your way along the Trail through Ormond Park, home of the Moonee Valley Football Club and Essendon Royals Soccer Club to watch the teams in training. If you’re in the mood for a spot of bird-watching or a stunning sunrise view, take a 10 minute walk to Trin Warren Tam-Boore wetland at Royal Park, followed by a sunny day out watching the Orangutans and elephants at Melbourne Zoo. Make sure to stop at Sesh Besh Café and Milk Bar on Oak Street for a coffee and a muffin.
