Gorgeous 2 Bedroom apartment in Historic Willsmere - with pool and pet friendly
Built in 1872, Willsmere, the former Kew Asylum, with itâs Victorian Italianate architecture is an icon of Melbourneâs history and culture. Located just 6 km from the CBD, Willsmere is close to Melbourneâs sporting venues and arts precinct. Catch a tram to the Australian Open. Enjoy the walking trails and flying fox colonies along the River Yarra or play a few rounds of golf at Yarra Bend. Relax at the Willsmere pool (currently under refurbishment and available from December 2024), practice at the tennis courts or watch the sun go down over the city.
Beautiful surroundings, very comfortable and quiet stay with secure parking, and so much to do. Our grandchildren were kept busy all day with swimming, playing bocce, long walks, and barbecues. It is also in an excellent location to be close to the city. It is a wonderful place for all the family and our little dog.
The property is surrounded by grassy play areas and lots of greenery. We took our dog and on leash walks within community grounds are almost endless. There is also access to walking paths for a bit extra. Access, most directly, is via group of steps. There are almost 50 in all. There is ramp access also which is reasonably easy to locate. We had everything we needed for our short stay. p.s. toilet is separate to shower which increases flexibility with one bathroom
Was a great, pet friendly stay in beautiful, historic surroundings. Close to the city for convenience but in a beautiful, tranquil location. For a stay with a bit of a difference, this is the one!
If you love staying in places that have a point of difference, then this is it. Beautiful grounds, lovely and quiet and tasteful decor, this apartment is perfect
Jo was wonderful and pleasant from start to end, lovely accommodation with lots to explore within the grounds, great location with large off leash dog park nearby and close to all the areas Iâve planned to visit
We loved staying here.It was quiet and we could bring our dog ,
Jo was very friendly and an easy communicator.
We have already booked our next stay.
The grounds are a delight to wander about.
Beautiful historical building and grounds, really enjoyed our stay.
Owner is lovely, and the residents are friendly.
Best of all its pet friendly, and we met a delightful mix of feathered and fur residents on our daily walks.
My family (2 adults and 2 tweens) stayed at the apartment for our short stay over the New Year's Eve holiday break. It was the perfect place to base ourselves to explore Melbourne and surrounds. The apartment is cute, cozy, clean, and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful and provided a tranquil place to unwind in the warm summer evenings, including a relaxing dip in the pool. It is conveniently located close to amenities, and a short walk to stunning sunset views over the city and the NYE fireworks display. Jo is a friendly and responsive host. We would love to stay here again!
