Brand new 3-bedroom luxury apartment on 2nd floor with balcony and view of Port Phillip Bay. Located a block from Hampton beach and a short walk from Hampton Station and the Hampton St shops/restaurants.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

The apartment is located a block from the beach and a short walk from Hampton Station (Sandringham Line) and the Hampton St shops. The neighbours are friendly. It's really laid back and has all the advantages of Melbourne cosmopolitan life.

Our pets

Dogs (1)

Allie is a 5-year old female greyhound. She is very calm and affectionate and requires minimal attention. She can't be left alone for more than about 3 hours as she gets anxious. Otherwise, she's very easy. Since our apartment is on the second floor (great view), you'll need to take her out every few hours for toileting, but she is fine through the night.

medicationMedication/treatment required

A daily pill to reduce her anxiety. She takes the pill readily with a little peanut butter or sweet potato.

Our garden

Minimal - Just occasionally watering the pot plants

Review

PHOEBE & MAX (Jan 2026 - 3 nights)

Allie was the sweetest dog! We loved seeing her open up around us as she got more comfortable. We had excellent instructions from Martin and Julie. They were wonderfully accommodating and their house was beautiful and clean. Thanks so much for the opportunity to look after Allie!
