Melbourne Central City Warehouse Apartment

Melbourne Central City Warehouse Apartment Absolutely in the centre of Melbourne, this converted, open-plan warehouse is full of natural light and character. Easy walking distance to the whole CBD.

One-of-a-kind warehouse conversion in an unbeatable city location for shoppers, foodies and culture lovers. See a video of this apartment on the Sydney Weekender website when it was featured by AirBnB. Search for AirBnB and Melbourne and it should come up. My apartment is located seconds from the official centre of Melbourne, yet it's in a quiet lane with excellent natural light. The centre of Mel

bourne is known for it's many laneways which are full of chic bars, cool cafes, art galleries and some world class graffiti art. One of the nations premier coffee houses, Brother Baba Budan (aka the cafe with the chairs hanging from the ceiling) is located on the corner of the laneway. Gourmet Travellers pick for the nations best new restaurant is Tipo 00 on the other corner. The apartment is the top level which is level 2 (Ground, 1 then 2) and is the only residential floor int this building dating back to 1887. It's an open plan set-up with a spacious mezzanine bedroom, separate toilet and somewhat over the top bathroom with a large sunken spa bath. The main space measures about 7 metres by 14 metres. There's no lift and quite a few stairs so it isn't suitable for anyone with compromised mobility. The apartment has a King size bed, TV, DVD, wi-fi, hair dryer, hair straightener, full laundry facilities and a swing in the middle of the living space. Access is by stairs only. No parking included but plenty of car parks nearby. If 'no parking' is a deal breaker then let me know as I might have a solution. Melbourne's public transport system operates as a hub with all trains and trams radiating from the centre so getting around is easy. Plus there are a couple of bike helmets if you'd like to try Melbourne's great new bike share system. The closest supply of bikes is just across the road. A few people have asked me about window coverings: The apartment has no window coverings however it isn't really an issue. The city lights aren't very bright or close by the apartment even though it is right in the centre of town. And the bedroom is higher than the top of the windows so in the mornings the apartment is light but not bright and there is no direct sunlight into the bedroom area at any time

Special rates apply for the Australian Open, Grand Prix and Melbourne Cup Week. NOTE: A remote part of the rooftop is now home to a beehive as part of the Rooftop Honey project. The bees don't come in or near the apartment however Matt and Vanessa, the beekeepers may need occasional access to tend to the hive. The apartment appears this year in the film Predestination starring Ethan Hawke for whom the apartment served as his NYC loft home in the 1970s.

This is country. You'll often see a vehicle pull up with one to six kelpies or border collies in the back and the front. This is proper working dog country. Muster Dogs

Autumn in the garden, and while the majority of the trees are deciduous, few of them put on a show, and none as good as the persimmon. The possums take the fruit but at least they leave the leaves. The other standout is the Chinese pistachio, and at the beginning of spring is the fairy-floss pink from the new Cedrela leaves.

I've planted 22 surviving and potentially large to huge trees in four years. My next focus will be on more trees offering autumnal colour, then native and exotic shrubs to keep the small birds safe and interested in the garden.

This is my 4th season at the cottage and the first time I've got more than a single piece of fruit that's to the birds.

This year the plums are out of control. Too many for the birds to eat?

I've picked two big bags and barely made a dent.

"A Krug Ambassade is a prestigious designation for top restaurants, hotels, and bars worldwide that embody the spirit and quality of Krug Champagne. They act as extensions of the Champagne House, offering exceptional gastronomy, craftsmanship, and a shared passion for creating memorable dining experiences, rather than just selling champagne. These partners share Krug's values, demonstrating a deep emotional commitment to quality, with chefs and sommeliers creating unique pairings and innovative dishes, as noted by Ocean magazine and LVMH.

Key Characteristics of a Krug Ambassade:
Culinary Excellence: Partners offer top-tier cuisine, showcasing craftsmanship and respect for ingredients, often featuring Krug Champagne pairings.

Shared Values: They reflect Krug's philosophy of pleasure, quality, and generosity, fostering a strong connection with the brand's heritage.

Global Network: A worldwide community of chefs, sommeliers, and restaurateurs who are "Krug Lovers" and embody the brand's spirit.

More Than a Plaque: It's a relationship built on passion and commitment, not an award or gift, where partners become "faces" of Krug.

Unique Experiences: Ambassades host special events, collaborations (like Krug x Ingredient), and create innovative dishes to complement Krug Champagnes, notes Forbes.

In essence, a Krug Ambassade is a culinary destination where the artistry of Krug Champagne truly comes to life through world-class dining, say LVMH and this Instagram post.

Dunkeld might be a cheeky 267km from Melbourne, but thanks to the you'll experience sophisticated western district charm, service and design, plus world-class cooking by Chef Robin Wickens in his eponymous, purpose-built restaurant. Arrive early for cocktails and soak up the stunning sunset views over Mt. Sturgeon.

The Royal Mail Hotel is a five-minute walk from the cottage.

And the locals are whispering about a spa being built. Hike the Grampians then soak your bones.

The garden audit. Lots of blossom plus a few others. I missed the Daphne flowering 😭 a sprig of Daphne beside my bed during winter is a joy I missed this year. The recent rains have half filled the dam and pond. The lilac is about to burst into bloom. And there are some encouraging signs of life for my autumn plantings of some big (one day) big trees. As always, borage is growing like a w**d.
