St. Kilda is a great place to be based for a stay in Melbourne, with access to nearby restaurants and nightlife, the beach, and public transport to the centre of the city. 28 Mary St is in a lovely quiet spot while being just blocks from the busy areas of Fitzroy St and Ackland St. The B&B is a lovely...

My wife and I are on the road for more than 9 month, have seen and stayed in so many B&B's and we just loved 28 Mary Street. The rooms are cosy and very clean, the old Victorian home has its own nice atmosphere, the house is decorated with many unique art pieces. The hospitality of Cathrine, Bob and crew... More

I'm picky about hotel rooms, but this was one of the best I've stayed in. Very comfortable beds, and very good airconditioning/heating. Small fridge in the room, and a good selection of cereals, with toast, coffee, tea and yogurt for breakfast. Catherine and Lorna were so helpful - accommodating our very early Great Ocean Tour start for breakfast, recommending restaurants,... More

What a wonderful bed and breakfast in St. Kilda, only a couple of blocks from the beach. 28 Mary Street must be one of the most beautiful streets in Melbourne--many Victorian Filigree homes. It was so great to arrive, on a 33 degree summer day, into a beautifully air conditioned room. Catherine and Bob, your hosts, are very knowledgeable about... More

Catherine and her whole crew really took care of my 76 year-old mom for the 2 days before I arrived. Then Catherine was SUPER KIND to wait up until 1 a.m. to let me in when I arrived late from Tasmania. (I'm reluctant to write that down because I'm sure she'd rather not make a regular habit of welcoming guests... More

We have stayed at Fountain Terrace for many years now at Melb Cup time. The rooms have always been clean and fresh. Breakfast cooked by Heikke is exactly what you want and so fresh and tasty. It is in a lovely leafy street behind St Kilda and is so easy to get to and from public transport f you wish... More

Situated in a quiet residential area in much sought-after Mary Street, this property has classic appeal combined with modern facilities. It is only a five minute-walk to the beachfront, the tram service into the heart of the city, taxi ranks, and some of St Kilda's fine dining establishments. During our four night stay we met three guests who stay there... More

We only stayed one night here on a rush trip to Melbourne for a family matter. We found it to be exactly what the other reviewers have said. Very friendly and helpful hosts went out of their way to make us welcome, wonderful old Victorian style house that has been very tastefully renovated. Great location close to the restaurants in...

Fountain Terrace has two small apartments on Fitzroy, just two blocks from their B&B ... they are available for those visitors who prefer self catering during a longer stay. Although big dinner parties are out (no table and chairs), why would you want to cook in St. Kilda? We had a wonderful time at this nicely appointed one bedroom unit... More
