DESCRIPTION:
Bayviews on Kavanagh is an individual apartment, securely tucked inside the stylish Sentinel building; a modern new building with a security entrance and concierge. It combines the beauty of a magnificent modern building with brilliant facilities such as a fully enclosed 25m lap pool, tennis court, basketball hoop and a communal BBQ and entertainment area.
Perfect for two, your corporate one-bedroom apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, living room, king bedroom, a balcony, bathroom and its own laundry facilities. The balcony overlooks the tennis court and lap pool and has a mostly city view towards Port Phillip Bay. Your boutique apartment includes high quality furnishings and appliances, linen, towels, and a fully-equipped laundry and kitchen. A doorway opening onto the balcony and an opening bedroom window allow fresh air into the apartment when you want it.
All tea, coffee, toiletries, washing and cleaning products and other welcome supplies can be found in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. You will need to purchase more of these consumables if you need them for the rest of your stay.
(Note from the owner: I love the size of this property. Where else do you find a 75 sq.m one-bedroom apartment in Melbourne these days? Even the new two-bedroom apartments are less than 50 sq.m. I also know it is close enough to the CBD without being in it, and it is so close to Citylink, the trams and Southbank Promenade. We have often spent a weekend here because of all these things).
We have multiple alternative apartments available, in inner Melbourne locations.
LOCATION:
The address is 88 Kavanagh St, Southbank
It has a Walk Score of 98 out of 100. Daily errands do not require a car.
Your Southbank serviced accommodation is so central; you are less than 10-minutes walk from the centre of the CBD. Across the road is the new development called Melbourne Square, which already has a Woolworths and a couple of cafes etc in the complex. Nearby on the Yarra River is the never-ending Southbank Promenade; famous for its world-class restaurants, shops and Crown Casino. In addition, there are multiple food outlets, buskers and arts & crafts events. And the Melbourne Exhibition Centre is just across Clarendon Street, opposite the Casino.
Just past Southern Cross Station you will find yourself in Docklands; an amazing world of it's own. A little south of the Casino is South Melbourne shopping strip, and the famous South Melbourne Markets where you can buy just about anything from groceries and meat to clothing and jewellery. Just as importantly though, are the nearby Melbourne icons; the Arts Precinct, Federation Square and Flinders St Station.
Here are just a few examples of local attractions which are an easy walk or a short tram ride away:
Southbank and Southgate Promenade shops, restaurants and cafes; right on the river
Southbank to Port Melbourne, South Melbourne or South Yarra - great for walking, jogging, bike riding or rollerblading. Southbank promenade forms part of the Capital City Bicycle Trail, which circles the Melbourne city centre and some inner eastern and northern suburbs. A popular starting point for the trail is at Princes Bridge near Flinders Street Station. Bikes can be hired near the boathouses east of the bridge.
The Yarra River is a great way to see the city and hear about its history. The river cruises show you and tell you so much about the city.
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV International)
Ballet, Opera and Live Theatre at the State Theatre & Concert Hall
Victorian College of the Arts & Melbourne Recital Centre
Crown Entertainment Complex, with its cinemas, shopping, restaurants and Casino
Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (Jeff's Shed)

Eureka Skydeck and "The Edge"
Shopping at Clarendon St, South Melbourne
Getting There
The easiest way to get to Bayviews from anywhere is to get a taxi, Uber or Ola ride; including from Tullamarine Airport. Alternative transport from the airport is also relatively easy; take the Skybus from outside the airport terminal to Southern Cross train station in downtown Melbourne, then ask for the SkyBus Link which has eight convenient stops around Melbourne’s city centre. Ask to be taken to Melbourne Short Stays in City Road Southbank. Walk 200m further down City Road towards Power St and turn right. Then turn right, shortly after at Kavanagh.
If this is not an option, from the station, take the No. 12 tram from further down Spencer St, (just past Bourke St), and get off three stops later just past City Road. Walk back to City Road, turn right, then right again 650m away at Power St. Then turn right, shortly after at Kavanagh.
Getting Around
The trams and buses are only 250 m away on Queensbridge Street, and they will take you into the CBD (just 10 minutes walk away), or wherever you want to go.
