About

Kimberley Gardens Hotel, Serviced Apartments And Serviced Townhouses

Kimberley Gardens Hotel, Serviced Apartments And Serviced Townhouses occupies a quiet corner of St Kilda, a pocket of Melbourne known for its beach, cafés and weekend market. The property blends hotel rooms with self-contained apartments and townhouses, giving guests the option of a simple stay or a home-like setup with kitchen and laundry facilities.

The gardens and courtyard are central to the experience — a place to unwind after a day in the city. Inside, there’s an indoor swimming pool, a spa bath and a fitness centre. Parking is on-site and free of charge, and both the tram and train are within easy reach for trips into the Melbourne CBD.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Spacious, home-like accommodation — Choose from hotel rooms to one-, two- and three-bedroom townhouses, many with kitchens, washing machines and balconies.
  • Lush gardens and indoor pool — The property sits in a quiet garden setting with a courtyard, indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and lounge areas for relaxing year-round.
  • Free on-site parking — Guests can leave the car without extra cost — a real perk in Melbourne — and still reach the city by tram or train.
  • High staff satisfaction — Guests consistently mention warm, accommodating service, including a receptionist who went out of her way to help a guest use the pool after checkout.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Thin walls in some rooms — A few guests noted that soundproofing could be better, with noise carrying between adjacent rooms.
  • Modest fitness facilities — The gym is described as 'a bit lacking' by one guest, so those after a full workout may need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.

“The team gave us a genuinely warm welcome that set a friendly tone from the start. Our room was spacious and came with an effective air conditioner. Free parking was a bonus, and it was a quick walk to restaurants. Only slight letdown: the walls are a bit thin, so we could hear noise from the neighbouring room.”

“A very central location, handy for a nearby clinic and close to all the major shopping areas in Melbourne CBD and the beautiful garden. The double room had everything we needed.”

“Rooms were a good size with an incredibly comfortable bed, well-kept facilities and a balcony. The pool area was spotless. The location was incredible, ideal for me, set in a fairly quiet area.”

“What a wonderful little escape. The spot is perfect — a stone's throw from St Kilda Beach and very close to the city. Our one-bedroom apartment was spacious and felt like home. We spent lovely hours by the gorgeous pool and in the large spa, ideal for relaxing after a day out.”

8.5Verified guest

“A truly pleasant stay — tranquil, with a lovely garden and courtyard, and a nice view over the pool. The receptionist was incredibly kind, letting me use the pool after checkout when I mentioned I'd missed my chance during my one-day stay, even providing a towel. I left feeling relaxed and very grateful.”

8.5Verified guest

“Close to local cafés, the beach, the park, and the tram or train. Easy check-in and on-site parking made things simple.”
