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.

Room had complimentary tea, coffee, and bottled water. A good size room with large towels and nice washroom and shower. Close to where we needed to be near St Kilda. Lots of street parking around.

Communication for picking up and dropping off key was not great. I emailed twice with no reply so ended up phoning them. Other than that the property was excellent. Close to tram stop, very clean and tidy. Great views.
