What's nearby

  • Elwood Beach in Melbourne is a popular bayside beach during sunny days and a great family beach. It’s not as accessible from the city as St Kilda as it’s not exactly on the tram or train line, but still only 8km’s away if you have a car, or jump in a cab.

The water was clean and calm for swimming and our kids had a great time playing on the sand and the rocks. It’s another fairly active beach and you’ll see people windsurfing, cycling, playing cricket and walking.

Great location for us and our dog.

Lovely clean and bright apartment. Great for a two night stay with all the necessities provided. The proximity to Elsternwick Park is fantastic for people and pets. We also loved that it was quiet.

Business trip

Was on a two week business trip. I was looking for a great location with close restaurants and grocery, and good beach access for the weekend. This was perfect.

Elwood for Easter

Though the 2 x 1 home was well accommodated and communication fabulous, the unit/apartment was a lot older and smaller than the images depicted and in a high residential area of owners/renters. Might consider adding some further essentials like glad/cling wrap, paper towel, tissues and cleaning products. The location was perfect - fell in love with Elwood - the Ormond Street stretch, store owners, beach, sailing club and park lands with multiple, easily, accessible public transport options. Enjoyable, pleasant stay, in affordable basic accommodation.

Walk to beach from quaint neighborhood; Incredibly clean!

Location, cleanliness and overall condition were perfect! From this property, it was a short walk to the beach but it was also tucked away enough that it's quiet. The unit was amazingly clean and comfortable inside. I was visiting nearby family in Ellwood, so this worked out really well. Also, the property managers were very proactive and friendly to reach out and make sure everything was okay prior to and during the stay. I was visiting from overseas, and when I visit again, I would definitely book this property again. It was more space than I needed, as I was traveling alone, so I would say it would also be a perfect size for a small family looking to get away and spend time in this coastal area. Another testament to how wonderful the property managers were, is the fact that I unintentionally left a few items behind and they arranged to ship the items to me. That was better than I expected, so that's also the customer service that wins. I would gladly book with them again for this property, or other properties that they manage. Much appreciated.
