Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Carlton for my short stay?

Carlton is the “Little Italy” of Melbourne and a cultural heavyweight. Staying here places you next to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Carlton Gardens and the Royal Exhibition Building. It is ideal for those who appreciate history, café culture, and being walking distance to the Melbourne Museum.

Is Carlton convenient for visiting the University of Melbourne?

It is the most convenient suburb available. Carlton is essentially the university’s backyard. Our properties are often just a few minutes’ walk to the University of Melbourne and RMIT, making them perfect for visiting academics, researchers, or parents visiting students.

What is the food scene like near your properties?

You will likely not need to cook! You are steps away from Lygon Street, famous for its espresso bars, artisan gelato, and classic Italian dining. We recommend exploring the laneways for hidden wine bars or grabbing a late-night pastry at Brunetti Classico.

Can I bring my pet?

Yes, selected homes are pet friendly. You can filter for pet‑friendly stays or mention your requirements when booking, and our team will help you find the right property for you and your pet.

Is Carlton good for family holidays?

Yes, surprisingly so. The proximity to the Melbourne Museum, IMAX, and the massive playgrounds in the Carlton Gardens makes it a fantastic inner-city base for families. Our larger terrace homes offer the space families need with the city right on the doorstep.
