Hatters House - Middle Park

Hatters House began as a hat factory in the 1930s. The building is Tudor-style and the conversion was done with enough care that the things worth keeping are still there: original hardwood timber floors, high ceilings, and period detailing in the entrance hall. The result is a place with the kind of character that comes with age rather than design decisions, and guests notice it consistently.

The apartment is on the ground floor with no stairs throughout. Two bedrooms - a queen in the main room and a double in the second - both with timber floors and good natural light. A large living area and a separate lounge give the space a generosity that works particularly well for two couples who want room to be together without being in each other's way.

The bathroom is Art Deco tiled with a freestanding bath and a shower above it. The bath comes up in almost every family review that mentions children, and in enough couples reviews to suggest it earns its keep regardless. The shower-over-bath arrangement is worth noting for guests with limited mobility.

The kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking. Beach towels are provided for the two-block walk to Middle Park Beach. The property is cleaned personally between stays.

Free untimed street parking is directly outside the front door. No permits, no meters, no time limits. This is uncommon in inner Melbourne and worth factoring into any comparison with apartments in the area.

The entire apartment is yours: both bedrooms, the bathroom, the living area, the separate lounge, and the full kitchen. Ground floor throughout with no shared access to other dwellings. Easy access with luggage, prams, or for guests with mobility considerations.

Easy Communication: We're available for any questions or assistance during your stay.

Middle Park is one of those Melbourne suburbs that rewards people who discover it. The main beach is two blocks away on a wide, quiet foreshore without the density of St Kilda to the north. Albert Park Lake is across the road from the house and the circuit around it is used by runners and cyclists throughout the week.

Armstrong Street, five minutes on foot, is the local village in the best sense. Coffee, dinner, a bottle of wine from the bottle shop, everything within a short walk of each other on a street that has been serving Middle Park for decades. South Melbourne Market is a short walk or tram ride away for a proper Saturday morning.

The Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit at Albert Park is five minutes by car. Guests book specifically for the race weekend and walk to the track. Lakeside Stadium and MSAC are within walking distance for swimming and athletics events.

The tram at the end of Harold Street runs to the Melbourne CBD in approximately 15 minutes and to St Kilda in 10. Middle Park is well-suited to walking and cycling for most of what the local area has to offer. A car is useful for day trips and the free street parking makes returning uncomplicated.
