Olive-green velvet armchairs are poised over the city parks’ carpet of green at this modern Melbourne apartment. Floor-to-ceiling windows spill light over timbered floors and offer up views over the Australian countryside. It’s 10 minutes or less to the Immigration Museum, National Gallery of Victoria, and the hallowed Melbourne Cricket Ground, and steps to the city’s famously good coffee spots.

A gourmet welcome basket greets you on arrival, along with panoramic views of Melbourne from a private balcony with a gas barbecue and alfresco dining for 6. After a day out in the city, flip on the sound system while you make dinner, tune in to the Apple TV, or share holiday photos via Wi-Fi. Guests are also welcome to use the shared indoor swimming pool and the gym in the building.

Gather in the great room with friends and family to pass sunny days and relaxed evenings. The open-concept space features a cozy sitting area with a sectional, velvet armchairs, and two loungers positioned in front of the window; a dining area with seating for 10; and a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and three ovens in case you’re inspired by the produce at nearby Queen Victoria Market.

This vacation rental has one master bedroom with a king bed and ensuite bathroom, and 2 bedrooms that share a bathroom: one with a queen bed and one with a double bed. The king and double bedrooms look out over Fitzroy Gardens, an oasis of green with a historic home tucked in its 64 acres.

A stay at this villa gives you the luxury of being high above the city, but just steps from world-class coffee shops and more. Wander the city’s laneways, stopping for everything from a bakery snack to a honeymoon-worthy tasting menu, immerse yourself in the flora of Fitzroy Gardens and the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, and tee off at Burnley Golf Course.
