Melbourne is one of those places that requires a little time. There is so much to see, do, and discover here that you need a decent chunk of your calendar to get the most out of it. Long-stay accommodation is a must in this scenario, as you don’t want to be stuck in a hotel where the room is tiny, the walls are thin, and you’re constantly hearing people coming and going. You’re balancing your laptop on your knees because there’s no desk, and that microwave in the corner is your entire kitchen. Not exactly ideal when you’re planning to stay for a while.
Serviced apartments in Melbourne are like a home away from home. They’ve got the space you need to spread out, relax, and, if required, get your work done. You can explore Melbourne in comfort with all the conveniences of home!
When you’re away from home for a while, the last thing you want is to feel like you’re living out of a suitcase. Serviced apartments in Melbourne mean comfy couches, fully equipped kitchens, and, most importantly, space to kick back after a long day. Unlike cramped hotel rooms, a serviced apartment gives you room to breathe and unwind, with a stack of other benefits as well:
Avoid hotel schedules and set dining times. In a serviced apartment, you can live on your own terms – cook a meal at 2 a.m. after a big night in Melbourne if you want! These spaces have full kitchens, so you’ve got the freedom to move at your own pace.
If you’re staying in Melbourne for a while, an extended-stay hotel will be a cost-effective option where you can lock in a consistent rate for the length of your stay. Plus, that kitchen we mentioned above helps you save money by cooking instead of eating out all the time—even though the food options in Melbourne are a literal *chef’s kiss*.
Melbourne has so many incredible neighbourhoods, and serviced apartments are often in the best spots to enjoy them all with easy access to everything the city has to offer.
The beauty of serviced apartments is that you get the best of both worlds. Along with home-like comfort, you also enjoy amenities that make life easier, like housekeeping, high-speed Wi-Fi, gyms, pools, and more. It’s the luxuries of a hotel, with the bonus of space, privacy, and freedom to live how you want.
Punthill long-stay accommodation offers that home-like comfort we’ve discussed above with all the perks of hotel living—minus the long-term lease commitment. We have people stay with us in Melbourne for business, a lengthy holiday, or even a temporary home while figuring out their next move:
You don’t need to worry about lugging furniture around or buying a bunch of appliances for a temporary stay. All Punthill serviced apartments come fully furnished and equipped with everything you need. This includes kitchenettes or full kitchens, smart TVs, air-conditioning, and laundry facilities.
The commitment of a long-term rental is much simpler with Punthill as you just move in and enjoy the perks of renting without the stress. We’ve designed things for people who need flexibility!
All of our apartments in Melbourne are near cafés, restaurants, and shops, plus, most importantly, public transport. You can be right in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD or one of the many trendy suburbs with ease.
With Punthill, what you see is what you get. There are no hidden costs—your WiFi, utilities, and weekly apartment cleaning are all included in your stay. This keeps things simple and saves you heaps in the long run, especially compared to other accommodation options.
Punthill offers pet-friendly options (with conditions), so you don’t have to leave your furry friend behind. Plus, Punthill’s team is always there to help with anything you need, offering personalised service and local knowledge to make your stay as seamless as possible.
Short accommodation is any temporary lodging, typically less than three months. This can include options like motels, backpacker hostels, hotels, and even Airbnbs. It’s a flexible, short-term housing option designed for people who need a place to stay for a limited time.
Most hotels, like Punthill, will often offer different, more cost-effective rates for longer-term stays. You can even negotiate rates with some providers if you plan on staying for an extended period. Never take hotel rates at face value; always ask what options can be discussed!
In most cases, you can stay as long as you want! Some people rent a serviced apartment for years. While this isn’t necessarily as cost-effective as a residential lease, it can be suitable for those who want more flexibility and the perks of serviced apartment living (i.e. locations and amenities).
