About this property

The Chocolate Factory: Trendy Converted Warehouse

Located within the former MacRoberton’s Chocolate Factory and just moments from Fitzroy’s vibrant dining scene, this character-filled stay combines a rich history with modern conveniences for a stylish and welcoming base during your visit to Melbourne. Enjoy open, light-filled living and dining, complete with a generous sofa, armchair, TV, and an eight-seater table. Make use of the well-equipped kitchen and dine alfresco in the private courtyard, ending your day with a leisurely soak in the tub.
Whether you’re travelling to Melbourne for business or leisure, you’ll appreciate the comfortable and well-appointed spaces throughout this unique stay, previously home to the Cherry Ripe! High ceilings and large windows create a sense of spaciousness in the open-plan living and dining area, where an industrial-chic makeover features contemporary artwork and designer furnishings. Unwind on the generously sized sofa while you watch TV, settle in with a good book on the cosy armchair, or head out to your private courtyard to enjoy an afternoon wine.

When you're not sampling the many nearby cafes and restaurants, you’ll find all you need in the fully equipped kitchen to prepare food at home, including all the essentials. There’s also a kitchen bar to socialise with other guests while you cook up a feast, plus an eight-seater table to enjoy meals together.

Two elegantly appointed bedrooms accommodate five guests, the first with a queen-size bed and the second featuring a single bed underneath a handcrafted double loft bed. Both rooms offer a side table and lamp to enjoy a quiet evening read. The newly renovated bathroom features an overhead shower as well as a bathtub where guests can indulge in a leisurely soak after a day of work or sightseeing. Here you’ll also find a washing machine plus complimentary consumables.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.

Disliked: Communication
This property appeared a great option however the bedroom windows share a wall with a communal space, so anyone coming up the main entrance staircase can be heard, including people walking their dogs early in the morning etc. The apartment itself did not lock once you were inside, there was no latch and it only locked via key from the outside. I messaged the host one the first and second night of my 3 night stay however was met with no response. This meant every time I was in the apartment, I could not lock the door which is a safety concern for a solo female traveller. There were some cleanliness issues with boot footprints on the bathroom floor and very dirty shower vent.
Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023
