Eltham Retreat

Located in Eltham, a neighborhood in Melbourne, this vacation home is in a shopping district and near the airport. Montsalvat and Abbotsford Convent are cultural highlights of the area. La Trobe University and Deakin University are two other places to visit that come recommended. Swimming offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails nearby. A short distance from swimming, winery tours, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 18-minute drive to Collins Street or the 18-minute drive to Melbourne Cricket Ground (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime). After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the balcony or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the flat-screen TV (first-run movies available). There's also a DVD player for your enjoyment. This 1-bedroom rental features a living room, a dining area, a gas grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a deep soaking tub and a hydromassage showerhead, along with a hair dryer, free toiletries, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as an electric kettle, a lobster pot, and a microwave. And you won't have to pack extra clothes, because you'll also have a washer/dryer.
