Bankside B & B United States

Privacy + Modern Living

The contemporary townhouse uses open-plan living spaces:

courtyard: breakfast setting
middle floor: bedroom and private bath and toilet
top floor: guests-only large loft room (TV, stereo, library) + balcony
excellent parking facilities
Pets welcome – ask when booking.

The front door of Bankside B&B opens to 5 hectares of parkland with extensive pedestrian and cycle paths along the Maribrynong River. There is privacy and seclusion, unusual for a property so close to the CBD. It is eight minutes and two stops by train to the centre of Melbourne. Tram and bus transport is also available. Some guests enjoy the challenge of walking into the city. There are no car noises or passing traffic.

The house is well appointed with good quality, tasteful furnishings, granite benches in the kitchen. The Tuscan-style courtyard is a dream – a blue ceramic water feature, lemon tree, olive tree and lots of greenery and ceramic tiles on the ground and high fences for privacy.
