The Hotel Windsor

8/10 Good

"They need to repair the floor around the elevator entrance on ground floor and straighten the paintings hanging crooked in the lobby. A hotel of this stature needs to be super vigilant of the detais. Housekeeping was excellent and prompt, breakfast was excellent. We will come back."

Meriton Suites Melbourne

10/10 Excellent

"If Melbourne is looking for ambassadors to give a good impression of their city they should start here. The amazing staff at the lobby were just the beginning. We loved our room, we loved the location, we loved the quick response when we asked for something. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay again when I have the opportunity."

Holiday Inn Express Melbourne Little Collins by IHG

8/10 Good

"Hotel was quite good, with some quirks/problems. Room was very clean, well-appointed and a good layout. Bathroom was very modern with a good-sized shower, room had both a desk and a couch-like chair for relaxing spaces other than the bed. Staff were very helpful, breakfast was pretty solid (quite busy, but plenty of food and pretty decent quality), and the gym is pretty decent and available 24 hours. However, the experience was not perfect. Most prominently, the bed was quite bad, being somehow too firm and too springy at the same time, made worse by awful pillows (the soft may as well have been empty, the "firm" was still comically soft). Likewise, the kettle in our room was the only kitchen appliance available but it was slow, loud, and spilled water every time we used it. Also, the shower was large and okay to use but getting the water in a human-habitable temperature range was an exercise in frustration. Overall, very solid hotel in an absolutely incredible location, but not without it's drawbacks."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Black Rock?

While Black Rock has a unique blend of coastal charm and suburban convenience, similar experiences can be found in nearby Bayside suburbs like Beaumaris and Sandringham.

Beaumaris, just south of Black Rock, offers a very similar coastal lifestyle. It's known for its stunning clifftop walks, quiet beaches like Rickett's Point, and a relaxed, community feel. The main shopping strip on Concourse is less bustling than Black Rock's but provides a good selection of cafes and local businesses. Families often appreciate Beaumaris for its excellent parks and access to the beach without the crowds of some larger areas.

Sandringham, to the north, provides a slightly more active hub while retaining the Bayside appeal. It boasts a larger village centre with more diverse dining options and boutiques, particularly around Station Street and Bay Road. Sandringham Yacht Club is a prominent feature, offering a nautical focus. Couples looking for a blend of coastal relaxation and convenient access to a wider range of amenities, including direct train links to the city, often find Sandringham appealing.

When is the best time to go to Black Rock?

The best time to visit Black Rock is during the warmer months, specifically from November to April, to fully enjoy the coastal activities and outdoor attractions.

This period offers consistently pleasant weather, with average temperatures ranging from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius. It's superb for spending time at the beach, exploring the coastal trails, and enjoying the local cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. The extended daylight hours also mean more time for sightseeing and relaxation.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach getaway will find these months ideal. You can enjoy strolls along Half Moon Bay, sunbathe on the sand, or dine at waterfront restaurants with sunset views. The weather is also superb for exploring the nearby foreshore reserves.

Families will appreciate the warm weather for activities like swimming, building sandcastles, and picnicking in the local parks. The calm waters of Half Moon Bay are particularly suitable for children.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
