The hotel is ideally located, with Flagstaff Gardens at the doorstep, within walking distance to Queen Victoria Market, the train station, and Chinatown, and just one block away from the free tram station. The hotel is very new, the rooms are large and spacious, yet clean and tidy, making it especially suitable for families. The living room and bedroom are separate, which is great. The room is fully equipped with a coffee machine, and the cleaning is meticulously done, kudos to the service staff! The staff are very warm and friendly, and most importantly, the rooms have great natural light, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful view outside the window. The breakfast offers a variety of choices, and everything I tried was delicious! The rooftop infinity pool is amazing, every shot taken there feels like a scene from a movie. There is ample parking nearby, convenient for those on a road trip. Overall, this stay was impressive, and I would choose this hotel again when I return to Melbourne.

🏠 Melbourne Courtyard 🚩 123 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia ⏰ Check-in time: 3:00 PM Check-out time: 11:00 AM 📝 My stay at the Melbourne Courtyard was very satisfying.

God I love it down here but gosh it's bloody cold.

#melbournetrip Grabbing some time with nature done easily here. Nice lawn to laze on, and children run around. The rolling hills give it a slight English garden feel, with some nice calm within the city centre. Good for a picnic or visit to the playground, also walking the dog (on leash). It's a beautiful garden with beautiful trees. It's not very big but you can easily enjoy your quiet time with the sunshine in sunny days.

Melbourne Flagstaff Gardens Flagstaff Gardens is located in a relatively central area of Melbourne city. Although it is called Flagstaff Gardens, I didn't see any flagpoles when I went around. The grass inside grows very well, green and lush, it seems that it doesn't need watering, many people walk and sit inside, it can be seen that it is not so delicate. On a sunny day, the grass and flowers are interlaced with light and shadow under the sun, very beautiful.

#melbournetrip Heavenly queen temple in Melbourne is located next to the Marybnong River , squeezed between a block of apartment buildings and the railway tracks. Many people in Melbourne don't know much about this monastery. But this place is really great, just a 20mins drive from the city can lead you to this immensely beautiful temple in Footscray, which was built in 2016. For a moment I forgot I was in Melbourne, as I felt lie strolling through a Monastery somewhere in Bhutan. Lovely and pleasant ambiance, the temple priests are very friendly. Also there is not much crowd even on a weekend. But this is one of the must see places in Melbourne. So intricately built, this temple itself a charm.
