Spacious Modern Apartment in the Heart of Fitzroy
Fabulous location surrounded by great cafes, restaurants and an easy walk to Gertrude and Smith Streets. This is not my first stay at Keoma and it won’t be my last. It’s a great spot for a family to hangout while exploring Melbourne, especially if you love walking the streets and soaking up the atmosphere. The accommodation is clean and spacious, hosts are responsive and the heating in each of the rooms meant we stayed warm over a wet and cold weekend. The hosts respond quickly to questions and requests. We will definitely be back.

Another Little Beach Pad,Long term discounts
This was my second time staying here because it is such great accommodation with everything need for a comfortable stay. A beautiful, clean and homely unit in a great location between St Kilda beach and Albert Park lake. A short walk to the restaurants and attractions of St Kilda, and a quick tram ride into the city. Melissa is a wonderful host, friendly and always helpful. I'm looking forward to staying here again 😊

Neil & Carolinas place was a cozy little hideaway. Super clean and tidy. Easy to find and access. Will be back!

Independent area - bedroom, dining area, bathroom
I had a great stay! The place was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and cozy. Communication with the host was smooth and prompt. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

St Kilda Beach Acland St Studio
Had a great stay at Kristina's studio, lovely and cosy, kitchen with everything I needed and very close to the beach

The Garden Studio - stylish private oasis
My friend and I had an absolutely lovely stay at Christine and Kevin's beautiful garden studio. Christine made us feel right at home in the space with her kind welcome and clear instructions. The studio is a gorgeous self-contained space with all the amenities you could possibly need. There are multiple tram lines nearby and the area was great for walking. This wonderful, private space was a really safe home base for a busy girls trip!

Great short stay, easy check in and communication. Perfect location, views were amazing.

Beautiful Fitzroy Getaway
Joanne’s place so just so perfect. Quiet, spacious but also cosy. All the restaurants, cafes and shops around the corner but the apartment is an oasis. We walked to everything. Nice private garden and with fireplace and heating for cool nights.

Stunning Executive South Yarra 1 B/R Queen Bed
This was our second stay with Ben and Murray. The location is amazing, the apartment is clean, and quiet, even though you’re so close to the bustle of South Yarra. We always have such a good night’s sleep! Ben and Murray are helpful and respond very quickly to any communication, and we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else when we visit Melbourne.

Sunny Warehouse Studio with NYC Vibe near Swan Street
A terrific spot, so well located and appointed. My second stay and I will be back. Thank you.

Skyhigh Apt Fabulous View in Central CBD/gym/pools
Loved Selina’s place! It was perfect. Great location with everything in walking distance. Perfect little home. Exactly what we thought it would be!

Bright Acland St top-floor studio with balcony
Perfect little studio in the heart of St Kilda- but on a nice quiet residential street so a good night sleep is guaranteed! There’s even a quaint little balcony where you can see the ocean and city. We were blessed with perfect weather for our Melbourne weekend and loved the convenience to be able to walk to everything in St Kilda or hop an easy tram to the city: definitely recommend !

Luxurious 1 Bed Penthouse with Hot Tub
Chante was an absolutely amazing host, The Penthouse was squeaky clean, Kitchen was beautiful and had all you need - Coffee/milk/sugar/coffe machine all the cutlery you might need. The spa is amazing, the bed and couch are super comfortable, and Chante was kind enough to allow us an early check-in upon request. She was very responsive and friendly as well , would absolutely recommend this place, The only thing you might find a bit odd is the smell due to the spa being in the open but use the Exhause fan on top of the spa that helps alot, My only recommendation would be adding some sort of Air-freshner, Other than that this place was absolutely Fantastic. 💯
