Stay, play or go to the bay, this tiny dame packs a punch! The space Recently renovated, the villa offers double gated access to off-street parking for a car and private courtyard leading onto the studio entrance. The small studio ticks all the boxes, ensuite with shower, mini bar area with fridge, sink, microwave, toaster, kettle and coffee machine (we use Melbourne roasted pods). Other amenities include small desk and pull-out wardrobe for luggage and hanging space, hairdryer, clothes steamer, and shampoo and conditioner. Modern conveniences include smart lock door entry, Samsung The Frame TV with access to streaming channels like Netflix and Disney, wifi, a/c split system, fan and dual skylights with retractable blinds. A pair of charming French doors lead onto the courtyard complete with outdoor bistro seating and convenient plug for those working outdoors. Located in the heart of the action, the studio is tucked away in a quiet residential street half a block from Acland Street and Luna Park with the beach just beyond. Villa Magdalena gives you all the serenity of a perfect getaway with all the convenience of bars, shops, restaurants and the beach within just a few minutes' walk. There’s really no better location! The villa is accessed via a driveway shared with the main property (occupied by us), which leads onto a private drive accessed via a roller door with parking, a courtyard and villa entry. Facilities other than driveway are not shared with the main residence. Other things to note Couples, please note the room only accommodates a double bed. Private car parking access is narrow. Other off-street parking is available on the main driveway for larger cars, and free parking is available on-street (restricted to 2hrs, and unrestricted between midnight to 8am). Strictly no pets, parties or additional overnight guests, and we ask that you keep noise to a minimum after 10pm. Getting around The local no.96 tram is your best friend in St Kilda, connecting St Kilda (Acland Street in front of McDonald’s) to Fitzroy St, Melbourne Sports and Aquatics Centre, South Melbourne Market, Crown Casino, city, Fitzroy and Brunswick. A Myki travel card can be purchased at Priceline on Acland Street. The no.16 is also available on the same route with a more direct access to the top end of the city (Federation Square to Parliament) via St Kilda Road. There are plenty of other tram options on St Kilda Road and the nearest rail station is Balaclava, a 15-minute walk. Take me to coffee: Great coffee can be found at the Galleon on Carlisle Street (4-minute walk: left from house, left onto Acland Street, left again at the traffic lights, and it’s on the right) and Ground Yourself (left on Acland St, continue to the end). Feed me: All dietary requirements are catered for on Acland Street (left out of the house, left at the first street, and continue along). Flour Child (upstairs) offers vegan and vegetarian pizzas. A favourite on Carlisle St next to Galleon is Radio Mexico, transporting you to a warm Mexican courtyard experience. For a hearty meal we recommend Abbey Road on Acland St, and for Italian there is Cicciolina’s and Rococco’s. Wine and dine me: There are some truly exceptional restaurants in St Kilda, note that some require bookings. Donovan’s, a local institution, is located on the beachfront, as with the Stokehouse. For exceptional seafood, try Claypots Seafood Bar at the end of Acland St, then turning right. Living it up: Take a short stroll to the famous Esplanade Hotel, beachside bars like Baxters, West Bathers Pavilion or Pontoon. Try some live music at Dogs Bar (corner of Clyde and Acland streets), Sirabaya Johnny’s, Lost, the Espy Hotel, Baxters, Vineyard and Loud Mouth. Please tell us a bit about yourself, the reason for your visit and whether you will need access to the car space. We kindly ask guests to provide a copy of your drivers licence or passport on booking. While it may be tricky for us to accommodate any changes to check-in/out times, we will certainly do our best! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the marina ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78150000/78141100/78141018/bca2575a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### City Views 202 in St Kilda ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ St Kilda - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=78141018&PinnedHotelID=78141018&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77970000/77965000/77964925/a01ec3dd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury mansion loft by the beach St Kilda West - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 14 reviews CA $138 CA $284 total includes taxes & fees Jan 8 - Jan 9, 2026 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-08&endDate=2026-01-09&selected=77964925&PinnedHotelID=77964925&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98270000/98269600/98269514/107a017a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seaside Studio Elwood - Kitchen - Dryer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 7.8 Good 10 reviews CA $120 CA $174 total includes taxes & fees Dec 13 - Dec 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-13&endDate=2025-12-14&selected=98269514&PinnedHotelID=98269514&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95100000/95094400/95094344/331abb38.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chic Studio by Luna Park|Beach+ Free Parking St Kilda - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 7.4 Good 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=95094344&PinnedHotelID=95094344&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92910000/92908100/92908001/88dbd463.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy beachside apartment with access to 50m2 terrace.

Nov 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, a bit smaller than we expected! This is a great location, very close to everything you need. Everything is very clean and well appointed. The room is quite small, a stretch to fit with two people. The procedure to get into the property is way more complicated than needed, but once you’re in it’s ok. A good find overall. ##### Sharon C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nishara L. Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy home away from home Cutest little spot, possibly even a little cramped with 2 people, but perfect for a solo traveller. Ingenious space-saving storage that makes the most of the studio. St Kilda is lovely, and this 'villa' is in the perfect location to access all the town has to offer. Appreciated the extra security features and luxury touches. For those new to Melbourne, the city is \~30mins away by tram, so factor this into your plans. Personally, this was a perfect spot from which to enjoy my Melbourne weekend of culture and social catch ups. ##### Nishara L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marettee T. Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tidy & contemporary little nook. Little studio room tucked away at back of heritage family home steeped in history & love. Off street park a must if you have a small car as it’s a busy area. Ideal for single person. Set up for short term stays with all amenities provided in pocket kitchen. Everything was fresh, contemporary & quality. Hosts were extremely accomodating. The Silky Bantam chooks were a lovely surprise foraging in the yard. Great locale near good cafes & stroll to beach. Lovely! ##### Marettee T.
