Festivals in and Melbourne's summer, Read now & find out more

To attend all the festivals in and around Melbourne during the summer of 2009 / 2010, book your Melbourne Serviced Apartments with Corporate keys.  We have plenty of apartments so book your Melbourne Apartment now and take advantage of Melbourne’s best festivals.  How about the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, held at The Trades Hall.  Not your style?  Why not consider taking a day tour - just ask the concierge at your Melbourne Apartment front desk to arrange a tour to one of Melbourne’s many tourist attractions.

A trip not to miss is the Great Ocean Road, a favourite coastal drive for Melburnians and visitors.  Along the way take in Bells Beach, known for its great surf, see Koalas in the wild and visit the Ottways Rainforest.  View the breathtaking scenery of the Port Campbell National Park including the Twelve Apostles, which now appear to be disintegrating and now resembles seven Apostles.  Experience the diversity of the coastline with its roaring surf, white sandy beaches, rocky outlook and then after a long day, look forward to returning to your serviced apartment which awaits you.

Ever since the award winning television series, Underbelly, tourists are now experiencing Melbourne and its criminal past!!  Many of the landmarks have since been built over with new Corporate Serviced Apartments, but you can still take a tour and walk in the footsteps of Melbourne’s past.  The full tour takes four hours and ends at the Melbourne City Watch House – an infamous building which operated between 1913 and 1994.  It is very close to the city Serviced Apartments..

Many members of the community back then were charged with offences ranging from public drunkenness to murder - a sight not to be witnessed from your Apartment.  As part of the tour you will be arrested and processed through the lock up, showcasing what it was like to be searched and to sleep in a small cramped cell with other inmates unknown to you - therefore experiencing an authentic environment which has barely changed since the last police and inmates left - not an experience anyone would choose for themselves.   Original graffiti still remains on the walls within. Once traveling through these walls you will be grateful to return to your safe and secure Melbourne Apartment.
