The Space:
If you want to feel like a Footscray local, then look no further. This bright, eclectic home is as welcoming as the suburb it rests in the heart of. Once a John Deere plant, this one-of-a-kind residence is steeped in fascinating history. You'll feel like you're staying in one of Victoria's most unique homes because of its high ceilings and spacious design, both of which are reminders of the building's long and storied past.

This townhouse is generously suited to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests across three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, with two of the rooms featuring a queen bed, and the third featuring two single beds. Come bedtime, you won’t be disappointed with comfortable mattresses, supreme quality linen, and built-in wardrobes in every room. As you lay down after a long day exploring the bright and busy Footscray surrounds, you’ll feel as though this stay has been your home all along. As a unique feature that is a rarity across Melbourne, this home has plenty of space to spread out across one fully-equipped bathroom and a luxurious ensuite. Everyone can easily keep up with their daily routines, and have the space to take a breather after a jam-packed day of adventuring the best suburb in all of Melbourne.

There is no shortage of places to eat when hunger strikes. In the fully equipped kitchen, you can whip up a gourmet meal (or an instant one; we won't tell!) with ease. Not in the mood to cook? Fortunately this home has placed you in the prime location to explore the diverse food options on offer in Footscray. Whether you’re craving a traditional Thai dish, delectable African cuisine, delectable pastries, or anything in between, you’re sure to find something.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, as well as the careful attention to detail in the home's decor, create an abundance of natural light and inspire creativity across the whole home. With a large, open-plan living room that is simply a luxury close to Melbourne CBD, there’s ample opportunity to wind down and relax, whether it be watching TV, relaxing with your morning coffee, or your latest holiday read.

To make this stay feel even more like home, there’s a bunch of inclusions. You won't have to worry about the little things when you have access to Wi-Fi, a coffee maker, heating and cooling, and a laundry room.

The home's ideal position on a busy street's back side provides quick access to the action if desired. However, despite this, the complex is still very peaceful, giving you the tranquility you deserve on vacation.

We would also like to acknowledge our home is on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nations and offer our respect to the Elders and peoples of these lands past present and emerging.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the entire property throughout your stay.

The Neighborhood:
If you’re not a local to Melbourne, then all these suburbs might be just a touch confusing. Footscray? Fitzroy? Carlton? What’s the difference? The difference is that Footscray is one of the most vibrant and beloved suburbs in all of Melbourne, if not the entire world. Time Out Magazine bestowed the respectable title of one of the coolest suburbs in the world on this inner-west suburb of Melbourne, and it truly does live up to this reputation.

Make sure you give yourself ample time to take advantage of all the different food offerings around; whether it be a traditional meal, a clever new innovation that you’re craving, or some good old fashioned icecream, you’re sure to find it just down the street. When you’ve finished exploring as many of the culinary delights you can stomach, make sure you hit up the bar scene. With bars hidden down alleyways, converted factories and warehouses, themed bars (Make sure you check out ‘Trouble in Dreams’ on Barkly St if you want to feel like you’ve walked into a scene from the Great Gatsby!) and so much more, there’s something to delight drinkers of any type. Footscray has truly one of the liveliest vibes in all of Melbourne.

Make sure you take the time to explore the vibrant art scene unique to Footscray. This thriving art-y suburb has some of the best street-art on offer. Forget the overrated hype of Hosier Lane - Footscray is where it's at. Prefer the more traditional type of art? The Footscray Community Arts is an arts precinct dedicated to sharing the love and meaning of art and its stories. Make sure to check out when the Community Arts Festival is on, because you’re sure to find a unique artwork (or forty!) to appreciate. Can’t get enough? Footscray has plenty of independent galleries for you to explore as well; Five Walls, Trocadero Art Space and Footscray Arts Center are just a few of the many for you to find.

Take advantage of the shopping jeep available for guests to use and enjoy an easy morning walk to the Footscray markets - an indoor market with a variety of products on offer. Whether you’re after some of the best fresh produce in the region or are searching for exotic wares, Footscray Market is sure to have it. Right across the road is the Footscray railway station, jump on the train and take a short train right into Melbourne CBD, or when you’re heading back home, a 20-minute train to get to Tullamarine, home of Melbourne’s international airport.

Highpoint shopping centre has more than 500 shops on offer, and you simply can’t miss it. Hop on the tram and take the short ride across, or if you have your own transport, it’s just a short drive with plenty of parking on offer! Make sure you hit up some of the luxury boutiques and stores on offer; there’s even a shop that does custom printing and accessories.

Enjoy the convenience of being close enough to walk to Flemington or Victoria Uni, as well as the ability to be able to easily head on over into inner West Seddon and Yarraville if you so fancy. There’s plenty of shopping and dining opportunities on offer in these two suburbs.

Getting Around:
This home is conveniently a short walk from the tram stop, but don’t forget to get a MyKi card before you get on Melbourne’s most iconic form of transport! In the heart of Melbourne, most things are within walking distance, though there is free parking available on the premises for guests to use if they are bringing their own transport.
