Villa in Parkville

Melbourne Penthouse

Sculpture and stone gild the open spaces of this penthouse perched above Melbourne’s Parkville area. Laid out over the top 2 floors of the Arcadia building, this apartment boasts views indoors and out, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and colorful artwork, and at night, its expanses of marble change under mood lighting. It’s less than 10 minutes to Queen Victoria market and museums. Your holiday at the penthouse begins with an airport transfer for up to 6 people. Once settled in, take in city skyline panoramas from a private balcony with a gas barbecue and alfresco dining for 8. Pour a glass of an Australian vintage from the wine fridge to sip while watching the smart TV or browsing over Wi-Fi, or host a family movie night in a media room with a projector and screen. Designed by local firm Fender Katsalidis Architects, the curving building has a contemporary look, and this luxury apartment plays into that with an open-concept great room clad in polished finishes. A wood panel separates the living area from a dining table for 8, and a breakfast bar sits at the entrance to a fully equipped, marble-splashed kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms with king beds at this vacation rental: 2 with ensuite bathrooms, including a master bedroom with honeymoon-suite-worthy details like wall-to-wall city views and a jetted tub, and 1 with access to a hall bathroom. There’s also 1 bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. Grab a coffee from one of the city’s famously great spots and set off for the 1-minute walk to the Royal Park Golf Course or the 8-minute trip on foot to the park-like Melbourne Zoo. By car, it’s less than 10 minutes to must-sees like the Melbourne Museum and Carlton Gardens, Queen Victoria Market, and the Immigration Museum. If you plan to ring in the new year, a nice touch to your trip will be the opportunity to marvel over the city's fireworks display, from the home. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Villa in Merricks North

Tussie Mussie

Sunshine chases the mist from vineyards, ponds, and gently rolling hills at this rural haven in the Australian countryside outside Melbourne. Accommodations are spread out between a lodge, a cottage, and the playfully named Old Laundry, all with soft Provençal colors. It’s a short drive to a selection of golf courses, beaches, and wine tastings in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula wine region. The property’s grounds tempt guests outdoors with sculpture and cottage gardens, a tennis court, a 7-acre vineyard, and a vegetable garden teeming with fresh herbs and produce. Walk past the vineyard to spot wallabies in the bush beyond, and fire up the pizza oven and barbecue for lunch and dinner at the alfresco table. The outdoor areas allow groups up to 14 people to gather in one place. Soft tones, natural textures, and bistro-inspired furnishings bring a little bit of France to the interiors of the lodge, cottage, and laundry. Each has its own living area, and there are 2 fully equipped kitchens and a kitchenette for flexibility. For smaller groups, you can reserve just 1 or 2 of the buildings, or all 3 to share the excitement most widely. Spend your holiday teeing off on the 5 golf courses within 30 kilometers, or see a different side of the outdoors on a day trip to Point Nepean National Park. Visit Balnarring Beach in the morning to watch racehorses train or in the afternoon for a swim off its sandy shores. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
