The Eucalyptus trees and tweeting birds of the Yarra River and its trails are also a brief stroll away should you wish to escape the urban environment for a period of time. Accommodation such as this so close to the CBD is getting extremely difficult to find with more and more high density construction being erected - don't miss it !
