Como Park greenery waves in the surface of the infinity plunge pool at this sleek modern retreat just outside Melbourne. It’s beautifully designed—all open-plan spaces, glass walls, and polished concrete floors—but has a sense of humor that shows up in the built-in trampoline. Let loose in the park or take the tram to central Melbourne to visit its museums, gardens, and world-class coffee shops.

Tree-shaded decks make the park feel like your own private backyard. Turn flips on the trampoline, cool off in the plunge pool, serve dinner from the barbecue at the alfresco table for 6, and watch the stars come out from around the outdoor fireplace. On cooler evenings, find the wine cooler, fireplace, Apple TV, sound system, and Wi-Fi inside.

Cool tones of gray and white bring a serene feel to the open-concept great room, while a timber-paneled ceiling, sun-splashed glass wall, and copper fireplace have the warmth to balance it out. The sitting area has an inviting sectional, the dining table seats 8, and the fully equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar.

This vacation rental has 3 bedrooms with queen beds: 2 with ensuite bathrooms, including the master bedroom, and one that shares a bathroom with the fourth bedroom, which has 2 twin beds. The shared-bathroom setup makes it ideal for a family on holiday with younger children.

With Como Park next door, you have the luxury of popping over for a stroll with your morning coffee or an evening constitutional. Walk to nearby Como House and Garden for a peek into the Australia of the 1850s, and into Toorak for shopping and dining. Join locals—including a clutch of resident penguins—at St Kilda Beach, and take the tram from South Yarra into central Melbourne for everything from a perfectly poured latte to a honeymoon-worthy multi-course dinner.
