Merchant's Rest 2

Merchant's Rest is a privately owned, executive style boutique apartment located within a low level development (completed November 2004). The northerly aspect allows plenty of natural light to the bedrooms and living area and affords tree-filtered glimpses of the Docklands precinct from the external terrace (especially nice at night).

Maximum occupancy is 4 persons PLEASE NOTE: BEDDING CONFIGURATION IS 2 x QUEEN SIZE BEDS & MOST SUITABLE FOR 2 x COUPLES .

Typical nightly rate varies according to duration of stay and number of persons but as a general guide is between $200-$300 depending upon seasonal and special event related demand. Please note also: a MINIMUM 5 night stay applies. Stays for longer periods of time (7 days) are charged on a weekly basis, which reduces the nightly rate further.

Please note that the apartments are not serviced (although it can be provided at an additional cost).
