With such high increase in rent prices in Australia, finding a place to stay that is still within budget and located not too far from CBD is a real task! ESPECIALLY if you’re looking for more than 1 month stay. Hotels are crazy expensive and most affordable units are located so far away in suburb. I found this unit at Monmarte Apartment through Pearl Apartment, and with the price, the location was just perfect for my stay. Address - 92 Grey St, St. Kilda, Melbourne 3182 How to Get There - plenty of trams and public bus’ stops around. Just search on Google Maps and you’ll find everything :) Facility - Studio Room with comfy double bed, big sofa, spacious area to also get some workout done, TV with Netflix, nice kitchen with oven-stove unit and super complete kitchenwares and cutleries, bathroom with bathub, dedicated parking spot. What’s Around - SO MANY cafes and restaurants around. Woolworths Metro, Woolworths and Coles Local less than 10 minutes away. Price per night - A$ 80 / night #freehotelstay #melbourne #australia

#visitmelbourne #melbourne #stkilda #tripblazers #australia #beach You may only think of summer when you see beaches, but apparently it can be beautiful in winter, too! Staying not too far to St Kilda beach this time, I have the pleasure to do some morning or afternoon walks along the shore and it is peacefully satisfying. Not to mention it is where The Esplanade Sunday market is located. So if you’re in Melbourne, give this beach a visit! Plenty of restaurants nearby, too. How to Get There - take Tram 96 / 16 / 12 / 3a from CBD stops at The Esplanade. A$4.60.

#visitmelbourne #melbourne #stkilda A Sunday Market, bazaar, on a sea side is one of the perfect way to spend your Sunday with your family! Stroll along the endless varieties of stalls selling all kinds of arts and crafts, daily necessities, and of course, food trucks. 😍 Worth to visit!! Address - The Esplanade, St Kilda, Australia Tram Line - 3 / 16 / 96

#celebratewithtrip a cute restaurant overlooking the beach, called republica at st kilda beach. the restaurant has a nice view of the beach and you can choose to dine either indoor or outdoor. they serve snacks and bar bites which is perfect for you to just eat and chill. also some drinks to go along with your meal if you would like. decoration of the restaurant is also very pretty as seen on the pictures where they have these cute statues shaped in animals and just chilling out of the restaurant. highly recommend visiting if you wanna sit by the beach but not on the sand and instead in a restaurant. but it’s cold outdoor!

เป็นสถานที่ที่เหมาะกับการมานั่งชมพระอาทิตย์ตก เดินเล่นชิลๆได้ อยู่ไม่ไกลจาก CBD สามารถนั่งรถบัสสาย 246 ลงที่จุด Glen Huntly Rd/Barkly st ได้เลย ใช้เวลาประมาณครึ่งชม หรือจะนั่ง Tram มาลงที่ St.Kilda beach เดินเล่นมาตามทางเลียบทะเลชมวิวได้เพลินๆเหมือนกัน คำเตือน ลมแรงมากค่ะ #Melborne #melbournecbd #australia #pointormond #sunset #travel #stkilda

It was a trip to Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺 Melbourne is a vibrant, eclectic city known for its blend of modern art, historic architecture, and street culture. From its iconic laneways to its stunning waterfront and lush gardens 🌺 We started our Melbourne trip with a peaceful visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens 🌺 at sunrise. The soft light ✨ streaming through the trees 🌳 and across the serene lake made for some of the best nature shots we had. The gardens are expansive, with beautifully manicured landscapes and lush greenery, making it the perfect spot to capture the tranquil side of Melbourne. I highly recommend coming early for the quiet and the golden hour light ✨which adds a magical touch to your photos 📸 📍Botanic Ave, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia We also headed to Federation Square, one of Melbourne’s most iconic and vibrant locations.

Whether it was from Rooftop Bar or SkyBar, the city views at sunset 🌇 were absolutely stunning 😍 The golden hour light ✨ illuminated the tall buildings, and we were able to capture the perfect combination of modern architecture with the warm hues of sunset 🌇 If you’re looking for a great photo 📸 spot with a view, I would highly recommend checking out Melbourne’s rooftop scene 🙌 📍Rooftop Bar, 252 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia We then took to take a short trip out of the city to Brighton Beach 🏝️ for a sunrise shoot 📸 The famous colorful bathing boxes on the sand, with the backdrop of the rising sun ☀️ created a stunning scene. The peaceful early morning ✨ atmosphere and the soft morning light made it a perfect time to capture these iconic structures in all their glory 📸 The calm sea 🌊 and colorful boxes are a quintessential part of Melbourne’s coastal beauty. 📍Brighton Beach, Brighton VIC 3186, Australia We visited to St Kilda Pier, especially popular at sunset 🌇 The view of the city’s skyline across the water, along with the pier’s historic lighthouse, makes for a perfect photo opportunity 📸 as the sun sets behind the city. The vibrant colors of the sky and the reflections on the water 💦 are simply mesmerizing, and it’s a peaceful way to end your Melbourne photography tour 📸 📍Pier Road, St Kilda VIC 3182, Australia If you have some extra time, be sure to wander Melbourne’s many laneways, like Degraves Street, Centre Place, and AC/DC Lane. These hidden spots are perfect for street photography 🙌🙌🙌 #australiatrip #travel #Vacation

#australiatrip For our wedding anniversary trip, we took a short trip to Melbourne. It was in September so it was still pretty chilly which was a nice escape from the tropical heat. We stayed at St Kilda for the first half of the trip just to get away from city life. Our hotel was walking distance to the beach and the pier so it was nice to be able to just walk around everywhere. You can actually observe a colony of little penguins at St Kilda Pier and Breakwater in the evenings. We couldn’t take flash photography and it was pretty dark in the evening so we didn’t get to snap many photos unfortunately. In the day, we took a stroll to the beach and had lunch at Donovan’s which had a lovely terrace facing the water. We were seated at a table next to the window with ocean views so that was nice! The menu was comfort Australian food and it was delicious. There were so many lovely little restaurants at St Kilda so my husband and I were spoilt for choice. We love Italian food so we had pizza at a quaint Italian joint, Topolino’s. Following that was coffee and chocolate tart at another Italian restaurant, Cafe Di Stasio. Melbourne has lovely markets and we visited South Melbourne Market and the oldest market in Melbourne, Queen Victoria Market. We usually tend to visit malls so these bustling vintage markets with a huge array of food and retail options was something we massively enjoyed. One of the things you will notice about Melbourne is the street art and one of the places that you’ll get to see these vibrant artworks is Hosier Lane. Graffiti, usually frowned upon in other cities is celebrated here, and as it should! These street artworks are so gorgeous and the bright splashes of colour add a vibrancy to an otherwise average alley. Though it was a short holiday, we thoroughly enjoyed Melbourne and it was a nice and relaxing escape from the tropical heat of Singapore. #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo

A trip to Melbourne Day 4 Leave early to fight Lune Croissantie again Try the hazelnut chocolate flavor too After eating, we went to Queen Victoria Market for a walk Slight rain 🌧️ plus a sharp drop in temperature I'm tired after walking for a while After buying something, we took the bus to Cocobei Docklands for lunch The food looks good and is great for taking pictures But the portion was too big to eat Let's go to Luna Park to play🎡 It's like going back to Ocean Park in the 1980s The screams of the women playing octopus🐙 could be heard throughout the park I'm sure she's the highest decibel woman in the audience 🤣 Some facilities are not open due to rain During this period, we encountered hail for the first time The temperature of the natural body is only 4 degrees Plus the coastal areas are super windy 🌬️ Definitely the hardest day of the trip After playing, we immediately rushed to a nearby restaurant to watch the sunset🌅 and rest Ordered the fish and chips 🍟 that I lost yesterday It replenished a little vitality Due to too cold Decided to cancel the evening night market trip Went to the supermarket and bought a lot of cheese🧀ham and smoked salmon back to the hotel for dinner Also ate super happy 😋 The honey cheese and black truffle cheese are definitely worth a try If possible I want to buy a large amount back to Hong Kong 🥹 #February Good Places 2025

#themepark We had a fantastic time at Luna Park Melbourne with my wife and daughter! The park was clean and well-maintained, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. The rides and attractions were thrilling and fun, with something for everyone to enjoy. Seeing the huge smiles on my wife's and daughter's faces made our day truly special. We can't wait to go back and do it all again! 5/5 stars! 📍Address: 18 Lower Esplanade St Kilda VIC 3182 Australia

#australiaroadtrip Personally if you're older I mostly went in appreciation of the architecture and the preserved nature of the rides and attractions themselves. Especially the Scenic Rollercoaster A. Which is operated by 2 people that are always standing in the kart while everyone else is strapped in. It's so cool to see an old tradition, skill and machine still being used and passed down for so many generations. The Carousel is also just such a sight to behold ?. The amazing history and the sheer beauty of the Carousel is just amazing to see the preservation of. And the history of it too, so cool. I just wish there was some more stuff to do for adults, maybe possibly a tour of the Parks history.

#favouriteitinerary Travelling from Federation Square to St Kilda is a journey that captures Melbourne’s cultural heartbeat and coastal beauty. Starting at Fed Square, you can admire the modern architecture, visit ACMI or the Ian Potter Centre, and take in views of the Yarra River. From here, hop on tram 16 or 96, both offering a scenic route through Melbourne’s lively inner suburbs. As you leave the city, you’ll pass through Southbank and St Kilda Road, home to lush parks, the Royal Botanic Gardens, and the striking Shrine of Remembrance. Further along, the tram glides past Albert Park Lake, where you might spot joggers, swans, and glimpses of the Formula 1 Grand Prix track. Arriving in St Kilda, the atmosphere shifts to a relaxed seaside vibe. The famous Luna Park welcomes you with its giant smiling entrance, while Acland Street’s cake shops tempt with delicious European treats. The St Kilda Esplanade Market (Sundays) and lively street performers add to the charm. As the sun sets, St Kilda Beach offers breathtaking views, perfect for an evening stroll along the pier. Whether you seek culture, adventure, or relaxation, this journey perfectly blends Melbourne’s best experiences.

#newyearnewtrip Oh, St Kilda Pier, you stole a pizza my heart! From the moment I stepped onto the iconic walkway, I knew I was in for a treat. The salty air, the sound of the waves crashing against the pier, and the distant cries of the seagulls – pure bliss! I strolled along, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, watching the buskers entertain the crowds, and trying not to get too jealous of the people fishing (they looked like they knew what they were doing, unlike me). But the real magic happened at dusk. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the little penguin colony emerged, waddling their adorable selves along the breakwater. It was the cutest thing I'd ever seen! St Kilda Pier is the perfect place for a romantic stroll, a family outing, or just a solo adventure to reconnect with nature (and maybe grab some delicious fish and chips while you’re at it). Just be prepared to fall head over heels for the penguins.

As a seaside city, Melbourne has many beautiful coasts, and St. Kilda Pier is the most beautiful in Melbourne! 🏖️ The coast is 700 meters long, and many people gather on the pier to rest, eat snacks, and bask in the sun. 🌊This is also a good place to watch the sunset🥰 🌄 There are also coconut trees, which are very exotic🌴 We just didn't meet the penguin group at that time. It is said that the little penguins are resting🥹 Otherwise, you can see the penguins swimming back to the shore at 7-8 pm! 🐧🌊 📍 St. Kilda Pier Melbourne For more travel and food information around the world, please follow @bunnys2peach_travel 🌷 #GlobalTravel #Melbourne #MelbourneTravel #Australia #AustraliaMust-visitCheck-in Spots #AustraliaTravel

The previous article introduced St. Kilda Pier, which is just 15 minutes away from the coast and you can reach St Kilda Beach and St Kilda Esplanade Markets, which has both a cafe and a graffiti art wall! This place feels very Australian and Western, especially when you go to the beach. Everyone is very chill, sunbathing and playing volleyball on the beach! The graffiti art wall has a very European and American Western style! The whole trip can be done in half a day, and it is best to go at sunset for the most beautiful view🥰🌄 📍 Melbourne St Kilda Esplanade Markets St Kilda Esplanade Markets Melbourne For more travel and food information around the world, please follow @bunnys2peach_travel 🌷 #GlobalTravel #Melbourne #MelbourneTravel #Australia #AustraliaMust-visitCheck-in Spots #AustraliaTravel

Nice place 🫰

St Beach in summer evening is one of the beautiful features of Melbourne. St Kilda is claiming back a lot of old memories at least. For those of us who have slept on the beach there is an old community here. sometimes in Summer you may see bottle nosed dolphins or porpoises from St Kilda up to Station Pier.#stkilda

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞] How about St. Kilda Beach for your next trip to Australia?🇦🇺✈️ When I arrived at the beach, the soft sound of waves and the cool breeze from the sea greeted me. The beach stretched endlessly, and the warm golden sand felt good under my feet~😄 A particularly memorable moment was the beautiful view of the Melbourne skyline in the distance. As the sun set, the sky turned orange, pink, and purple, creating a magical scene, and the light reflected beautifully on the sea!! I also walked along St. Kilda Pier to enjoy the scenery, where many people were fishing or taking pictures and having a leisurely time.🛥 St. Kilda Beach is a charming place where nature and the city come together, and it made me want to visit again🫠 #Overseas travel #Melbourne travel #Melbourne hot place #St. Kilda Beach #Australia travel #saintkilda #saintklidabeach #melbournetrip #Melbourne Australia
