It’s not as accessible from the city as St Kilda as it’s not exactly on the tram or train line, but still only 8km’s away if you have a car, or jump in a cab. The water was clean and calm for swimming and our kids had a great time playing on the sand and the rocks. It’s another fairly active beach and you’ll see people windsurfing, cycling, playing cricket and walking.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130198/8dd52d45-ed6d-4792-aec4-2b6f2fcc52c2.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Elwood Beach 6 min drive \- 3.1 km - ![St. Kilda Beach which includes tropical scenes and a sunset](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6159172/ca555662-439a-4311-9369-1b5eb2356829.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) St Kilda Beach 6 min drive \- 4.2 km - ![Vintage Melbourne W-Class Tram Images in St Kilda with fun fair rides in the background; Shutterstock ID 723153298; PO: Hcom Destination Content neighborhoods; Client: Hotels.com; Other: Hcom brand bu](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6347468/6d320826-d099-49df-800b-48105627b669.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) St Kilda Road 8 min drive \- 5.3 km - Jewish Holocaust Centre 12 min walk \- 1.0 km - Rippon Lea House and Gardens 19 min walk \- 1.6 km ### Getting around - Elsternwick Station 15 min walk - North Williamstown Station 21 min drive - Melbourne, VIC (MEB-Essendon) 34 min drive ### Restaurants - Caulfield RSL 11 min walk - Tokyo Deli 7 min walk - South Caulfield Charcoal Chicken 11 min walk - Arda Turkish Cuisine 7 min walk - Florina's Greek Tavern 6 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Is The Elsternwick Abode pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at The Elsternwick Abode? ### What time is check-out at The Elsternwick Abode? ### Where is The Elsternwick Abode located? ## Have a question?

Nov 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Place This cute apartment was the PERFECT location for us to stay! Situated directly across from a gorgeous park, it was only a short walk to ANYTHING you might desire! We hit a different bakery every morning we were there! 😬 We were also within walking distance to the family members we were visiting, so we didn’t need to rent a car! The apartment itself was super clean and had everything we needed. The communication with Levi and Iman was top notch, and any questions I had were answered promptly. We would most DEFINITELY stay here ANY time we are able to visit Melbourne! ##### Susan W. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Terese H.
