A unique coastal charm infuses this relaxed bayside village, just five kilometres from the CBD. Coming home to Port Melbourne and strolling along the waterfront brings a sense of freedom few are lucky enough to enjoy every day.

Bay Street is a five-minute walk from your front door. Here, you’ll discover an abundance of quality cafés, gastro-pubs and restaurants, designer fashion and homeware boutiques.

Choose to spend your weekends unwinding at the waterfront, cycling the picturesque seaside bay trail, lazing on the beach while losing yourself in a good book, breathing in the clean sea air, or simply enjoying a slow breakfast at one of Post Melbourne’s stellar cafés.

Port Melbourne enjoys the best of both worlds – the ease and carefree feel of beachside living and world-class, Melbourne city amenities and lifestyle. Why choose between city and sea, when you can have them both?
