Note from the owner:
Since moving to Kew 20ish years ago, I always felt a sense of community here, coupled with convenience.  An arts hub within a bustling business hub, complete with everything at my fingertips and public transport on my doorstep. A dream locale! A central point between all major directions of Melbourne. A local locale, Kew (and surrounds) has seen me enjoying everything from her art spaces as I brunched, to her fine dining and wine bars in the evenings, gorgeous leisurely early morning walks, a library that kept me busy, gym for fitness, medical services; (even a vet close by for our furry friends) Kew has it all. Welcome. Enjoy! We wish you a wonderful stay at our little ‘Kew Cottage on Cotham’.

Getting Around
Trams
Trams are just out the front, run frequently, and only take 30-40 mins (traffic dependant) to reach the CBD. You can either travel south west on tram 48 through Richmond and Flinders St, or tram 109 down Victoria St, Victoria Pde, where you can go north via the interchange at Smith Sts, and / or Brunswick Sts, the 109 continues to Port Melbourne. Also, if you only travel on the trams within the city grid, it's free, and you don't need a Myki card.
Trains
Alternatively, you can catch the No. 16 tram at nearby Glenferrie Road, and get off before Glenferrie Station, and take a train to the city from there. It’s a bit more walking before and after the tram; that’s all.
