Turnkey Accommodation-North Melbourne
A garden pool with a hot tub and outdoor fireplace in North Melbourne
About this hotel
North Melbourne trades CBD density for a residential-feeling street where Turnkey Accommodation runs its pool as the centrepiece of an outdoor garden setup rather than a hotel-lobby afterthought, with a hot tub, sauna and an outdoor fireplace for the evenings once the Melbourne air cools down. Apartments come with balconies and fully equipped kitchens, which makes the pool area function as the shared living room for longer stays rather than a quick photo stop. Melbourne Central Station and the Melbourne City Conference Centre are a short walk away, and the State Library of Victoria and Melbourne Museum sit close enough for an afternoon out without needing transport. Essendon Fields Airport is 9 km from the property.

Our take
This suits families and small groups staying several nights who want kitchen access and a garden pool rather than a compact CBD room, since the apartment layout and outdoor fireplace reward slower, self-catered stays. The North Melbourne setting is quieter than the CBD core, a trade-off travellers chasing late laneway bars should weigh before booking, but it keeps a short walk to Melbourne Central and the museum precinct.
- ✓Book the garden-view apartments if the pool outlook matters to you
- ✓Use the outdoor fireplace in the evening once the pool cools down after dusk
- ✓Walk to Melbourne Central Station rather than driving, it saves parking hassle

Why guests love itThe pool area reads more like a private garden than a hotel amenity, hot tub and outdoor fireplace included, which matters once evenings turn cool. Having a full kitchen in the apartment means the pool becomes the natural gathering spot instead of a five-minute stop. North Melbourne is quieter than the CBD, a plus for unwinding but it does mean a short walk for late-night options.
