Our place is a 700 metre walk from the water’s edge where Cherry Creek meets Port Phillip Bay. It’s a delightful 2 bedroom ground floor apartment with sleeping options for 4. It’s unique, as it has a private courtyard entrance with two doors – one to the main apartment, and a second door to a private single bedroom with its own powder room. In a small group of 4, super private and quiet, while close to the beachfront action.
Our place is a 2 bedroom solid brick apartment with a difference. The access is around the back via a push-code gate to a mod-grass courtyard dressed with a grey-metal framed alfresco setting surrounded by pot plants so you can enjoy an evening cocktail or morning breakfast taking in the lovely sea air before heading out. Inside there’s an open plan living, dining and kitchen area featuring a plush 3-seater couch which is wide enough to allow you to have an extra sleep over if needed (linen provided) or it’s perfect to kick back to watch some TV. There’s a 4-seater black glass dining table overlooking the front garden. The main bedroom is private and sunny overlooking the vast lawn, and provides a built in robe, queen size bed, bedside cabinets with lamps and has a sliding door. The vintage kitchen has all your necessities including an electric stove, good size fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and rice cooker. The retro bathroom has a classic updated shower, modern vanity and toilet. The second bedroom gives you the versatility of a single bed stay or a remote working space with its desk, desk chair, suspended clothes rack and drawers, and it has its own powder room (2nd toilet). There’s a security door so you can let in the breeze while your inside.
Local events: Altona Beach Market on Pier Street every Tuesday.
In this quiet court in a group of four, so close to the beach that you can smell the sea breeze. Walk to the top of the court, turn right then right again to find a walkway straight to the bay, where you can enjoy the social activities at the Altona Bowls Club, take a picnic with you on the beachfront Cresser Reserve (barbecue facilities), walk up the jetty or Altona Pier or find the perfect section of sand to pull up a beach towel and spend the day at Altona Beach. For those who love nature, Cherry Lake is 600 metres away and has gorgeous walking/bike trails around the conservation area, and there is also Altona Coastal Park with a variety of other walking trails. If you have an adventurous spirit, take a snorkel with you around the Coastal Park walking trails right around to Jawbone Marine Sanctuary to immerse yourself in the reef and the rockpools. For those who want to discover the food culture, Pier Street would be your No 1 stop, where you will find Pier 71 Bar e Cucina, Yo Mama Frozen Yoghury, Hopheads brewery and other popular eateries. Or try The Greek Grill Eatery on Civic Parade for something closer. If you bring your dog, there’s an off-leash beach 200 metres away. For a night in, Pier Street or Miller’s Junction are your best bets for essential needs, as well as Readings Cinemas and day spas at Miller’s Junction.
