Take the kids to Central Pier for some sunshine and fresh air. They'll have a ball trying to spot fish splashing in the waters below or boats way off in the distance.

This waterside attraction in Docklands is popular with fellow travelers, so leave a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more places ready for you to discover after Central Pier. Crown Casino, Melbourne Cricket Ground, and St Kilda Beach are close by.

The staff were very helpful and the location is great. Unfortunately our room seemed very run down. Everything was broken very old or just very worn. The aircon only worked for about an hr at a time. We had the service guy there three times but eventually gave up. Not what you expect from the penthouse.
