Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Balaclava

Perfect little 1BR apartment in the heart of the city. Great views - especially at night & the place is super clean / tidy. Will defiantly be back next time I'm in Melbourne!

Stayed here for 4 nights on a business trip Great little apartment in a well kept building. Furniture is comfortable and has everything needed to feel right at home. Look forward to staying there again

Loved the unit, great location and views and very easy to deal with. Get spot for a couple to access the city.

Since I found Maggie little Gem I don't look for others Airbnb in this area because she got one of the best I've experienced in terms of location, home amenities, cleanliness, ...and this balcony view ! So thank you for always making my stay feeling that amazing

Firstly, the photos do not do it justice. The location is amazing, and the interior design of the airbnb is cosy and a vibe. Helen and Amy were extremely responsive and accommodating to our arrival time and helped make sure check in went smoothly. The airbnb itself was well stocked, above what was expected, it's like every little thing had been thought out. We definitely thought it was worth the price we paid and would stay again! Thanks Helen and Amy!

We love our 10days stay. Check in was easy, undercover parking. Angela was prompt to reply to queries. Friendly even offer to meet to give access cards. Separate place to do work was great. Will come back to stay if need to be close to MSAC.

It’s a great little apartment in an excellent location close to many restaurants, bars and shops. This was my 2nd time staying there. The only element I didn’t love was the flood lights shining I to the apartment when the sports field below was being used. These lights are switched off at 10:15pm Didn’t really bother me as I was mostly out and about and I will stay there again in future 👍👍👍

A very nice flat in a good and super accessible location. Very clean and has everything you need. the host Susan was super helpful. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Henfry’s place. Our favourite part was the view - absolutely stunning! The apartment was neat and clean. The location was great, we walked everywhere. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Selina’s place was just as beautiful as the photos promised. The location, overlooking Queen Victoria Market, was perfect! Central and convenient, with easy access to everything whether on foot or by public transport. The view from the 45th floor was incredible, such a unique perspective of the city. We had an amazing stay and would absolutely love to come back. Thanks for everything!

I was the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights. The check in is super easy and the apartment is exactly as described. Would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in Melbourne central area.

This is a great place, great location, very clean. Relaxing view, pool, spa and sauna. Would definitely recommend to others.

Repeat customers and love coming and staying here. So close to the city and the tennis and the footy and the river bank. Great communication and extremely helpful in answering any questions. Thanks again and look forward to our next stay.

Great apartment for a weekend in Melbourne! Very spacious and spectacular views. Aster was a great host

Fantastic place to stay. The view is amazing!

Our stay was comfortable with all necessary comforts provided. The apartment was very clean, spacious bathrooms (helpful when travelling with a child) and the kitchen well equipped for our purposes. We had an overnight flight, and our hosts were accommodating with us requiring a different check-in. The express IGA is a minute's walk away to buy any basics you might need after travelling. There are local cafes in the streets behind the building (less than 5-minute walk) for a quick bite. The Southbank promenade is also under 5 minutes from the apartment with many restaurants to choose from (Pure South became our go to for breakfast, great menu and service). We were only a short walk from a pedestrian bridge to cross the Yarra, giving us easy access to Melbourne's great laneways and other attractions.

Property was very felt homely. Mostly we enjoyed playing piano. Griselda has been very flexible with check in and check out times which was very helpful.

We had a great stay here. Rooms are nice and cozy. Cute balcony lights and nice kitchen. Love the decoration and design of this house. Brendan and Lisa were very responsive and helpful. Definitely worth the money. Will come back again

This was my second visit. I was on a business trip. Great house close to shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Great place, huge rooms and living area.

We’re so grateful to have had Nicola as our host. She was incredibly warm, kind, and responsive throughout our stay. When we had a small ant issue (thanks to Melbourne’s wet weather, not the house!) she came over right away with spray - and the ants disappeared overnight. She also thoughtfully left us milk, snacks, and later brought extra blankets for comfort. Every gesture showed how much she cared. Her home was absolutely stunning - full of character, charm, and warmth. Every corner felt intentional, with beautiful decor and trinkets that reflected her love for travel and culture. There was even a play area upstairs that our kids loved! The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located near shops. We truly adored both the home and Nicola. She made our trip feel so special, and we left feeling incredibly thankful for the experience. Thank you Nicola! ❤️

We had a wonderful three-night stay with our family! The property exceeded our expectations, and here’s why: 📍 Location: Easy to find by car, peaceful surroundings, and hassle-free parking. 🛏️ Rooms: All three bedrooms had incredibly comfortable large beds—we all slept wonderfully! 🛋️ Living Room: The pre-warmed heating was such a thoughtful touch, and the huge TV made movie nights feel like a home theater—perfect for family time. 🍳 Kitchen: Fully equipped with everything we needed, plus generous supplies of condiments and drinks. 🚿 Bathroom: Well-stocked with toiletries, and the washer/dryer combo was super convenient. Our kids especially loved the long hallway—a fun and unique feature compared to our own home! Thank you for your warm hospitality—you’ve made our trip to Australia truly memorable. We’d love to stay again! Highly recommended.

It was walking distance to the best pubs and restaurants in Melbourne. The beds were very comfy. It was stylish and clean. The host was friendly and super responsive… and helped me pick up my forgotten rings after checkout in a lovely way. One room was whisper quiet. The other had some traffic noise, but nothing but normal car sounds. If you’re looking to explore Collingwood, Smith St and Brunswick st it’s pretty much the perfect spot!

One of the best AirBNB’s we have stayed at. Lovely quiet house with comfortable beds, lovely bathrooms and amazing kitchen. Really well set up and good access to public transport. Harrison was a terrific host as well. I would highly recommend this place.
