THE PROPERTY
Welcome to our charming and distinctive 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom fully refurbished Terrace Home, with all modern conveniences.
Heritage listed and built in the 1850's, comfortably sleeping 6 guests a stone's throw from everywhere you want to be.

If you are looking for something really special, I’d say you’ll find it here.

The house features: Large open kitchen with state of the art Lacanche French hand made stove, Delonghi automatic espresso coffee machine with St Ali locally roasted coffee beans, French door fridge with ice maker, oak timber floors, stainless steel benches, wine fridge, Bosch dishwasher and plenty of everything else.

The kitchen leads into a sunny travertine and reclaimed timber decked back garden with unground solar heated swimming pool and a large entertainment area. The pool is solar heated, and due to Melbourne’s freezing winters, the swimming pool is decommissioned during the winter and is put into hibernation until November. There is also a BBQ and teak dining table.

A large dining/lounge area. Newly renovated bathroom and toilets.

The house is very bright inside as it hosts lots of skylights on the upper floor. Wooden floor throughout the house. European laundry with Bosch washing machine and independent dryer.

3 large light filled and quite bedrooms, exquisitely furnished & extremely comfortable.

All bedrooms feature luxurious king-size beds, dressed with quality linen for a comfortable night’s sleep.

One of the bedrooms can also be configured as two single beds upon request, making the house flexible for families, friends or different sleeping arrangements.

The main family shower room built entirely with travertine and Italian smoked marble with a double walk in shower, then 2 further cloakrooms; 1 under the stairs on the ground floor, and another cloakroom/change room outdoors by the pool.

The house come with unlimited complimentary WI/FI, flat screen TVs in each room with complimentary Apple TV (use your account)

St. Kilda Heritage House

We had a wonderful stay in St. Kilda and this beautiful heritage house. Full of charm, plus top notch modern finishes. Beautifully appointed kitchen and main bath and plenty of space to spread out as a family. Would love to visit again during warmer months so as to enjoy the pool and yard. Thank you very much for a perfect stay.

Stunning house in the best location. Wait until you see the kitchen…….

The house was everything we wanted and more. Beautifully designed with every creature comfort you could imagine. Spotlessly clean, super comfy beds, plenty of plush towels and a tv screen in every room. Interiors have been carefully considered and I can only imagine lovingly created by the well-travelled owners with a keen eye for design. The kitchen blew my mind and is a foodie’s absolute delight. Hosts were super friendly and always available if needed. Gorgeous welcome pack and pre-warmed rooms awaited us on arrival. The location is perfect winter and summer - a walk from the beach, boutiques, bars and restaurants as well as public transport. Located in a quiet residential street with ample parking. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Melbourne.

Superb “Classic” Melbourne house with every modern amenity.

This lovely and spacious home deserves every bit of its 5 star rating. It is thoughtfully supplied with everything you need to feel right at home, including incredibly comfortable king sized beds, strong wi-fi, an accessible laundry and a kitchen that leaves nothing wanting. There are large Smart TVs on both floors, but you won’t need them because the sumptuous garden just begs you to spend time outdoors, lounging under the flowering plants or relaxing in the lovely pool. AND the location is fantastic. Park your car on the quiet leafy street and leave it there. You are within a short, easy walk of absolutely everything: restaurants, retail, the beach, Luna Park, coffee shops, the famous Acland St cake shops and trams to museums and the CBD. Three generations of us found something to enjoy every day. Highly recommend!

Kathleen and her family are the perfect guests! Friendly, respectful and ultra conscientious towards our home. Her family left our space spotless, even offering to take care of our garden and pool in Melbourne’s hot summer. We would love to see Kathleen and family again should they be down our way again!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi there! We are Marco & Paul!

We are really helpful and resourceful guys. We eat out a lot and are real foodies. We love Melbourne and St Kilda in particular, and have lived here for years so know all it's fun places to go!

Our style of traveling is being able to immerse ourselves in local culture! We love getting to see the way the locals live, We are not really attracted to doing the "touristy" sort of things but rather getting to know someone for who they are and not just for what they are stereotyped as! We love to try things out of the norm and are always seeking out our next adventure and making friends all along the way!

We like summer more than winter, (although love snow skiing) and savoury always trumps sweet!

We are really proud of our properties and go out of our way to give our guests a wonderful experience rather than just a place to stay. We have met some truly fantastic friends through hosting on Airbnb, and love extending our hospitality to new guests all the time! Read less

Why they chose this property

I love living around Acland Street in St Kilda because it has such a vibrant, relaxed and uniquely Melbourne atmosphere. The area is full of character, with beautiful historic buildings, cafés, restaurants, bakeries and little shops all within walking distance.
What I enjoy most is being so close to St Kilda Beach and the foreshore. I love going for a walk along the beach, especially in the evening when the sun is setting, or enjoying a coffee on Acland Street and watching the world go by.
There’s always something happening, yet the neighbourhood still has a friendly, local feel. It’s also incredibly convenient, with trams nearby making it easy to reach Melbourne CBD and other parts of the city.
In short, I love the combination of beachside living, great food, lively streets and the relaxed atmosphere that makes St Kilda feel so speci

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly stand out is its history and character. It is a beautiful Victorian house built around 1850, full of original charm and period features, while also offering the comfort and amenities of a modern home.
Located in the heart of St Kilda, between Acland Street, Fitzroy Street, the beach, cafés and restaurants, it gives guests the opportunity to experience a genuine piece of Melbourne’s history while enjoying one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
It’s a home with history, character and soul — not just another holiday rental.
