About this property

StayCentral - Cityside on Whiteman (Southbank).

  • Cityside at Southbank — Your Stylish Melbourne Stay

    Sleeps 4 | Pet Friendly | Pool, Gym & Tennis Court | Unbeatable Location

    Welcome to Cityside, your perfect Melbourne base — a spacious, sunlit apartment tucked inside the secure, modern Rivergarden Condos. Whether you’re here for work, play, or a little of both, this apartment is designed to feel like a true home away from home.



    Why You’ll Love It
    2 beautifully appointed bedrooms — one with a luxe pillow-top king bed, and the other with a splittable queen for extra flexibility.

    A furnished balcony to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine with glimpses of the city skyline.

    Stay in and stream your favourites on the large 55” LCD TV.

    Stay cool and cosy year-round with reverse-cycle air conditioning.

    Access to brilliant building amenities — a heated indoor 25m lap pool, gym, tennis court, and communal BBQ area for those laid-back afternoons.

    Pet-friendly too — your furry friend is welcome to join you (subject to pet stay conditions).

    Bonus Perk: Free, secure undercover parking for one car (clearance 2.1m)



    LOCATION:
    Positioned in the heart of vibrant Southbank, you’re literally steps from everything Melbourne is famous for:

    Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre — across the road.

    Crown Casino and Southbank Promenade — an easy stroll for riverside dining, shopping, and live entertainment.

    South Melbourne Market — a foodie’s paradise just a few minutes away.

    Arts Precinct, Federation Square & Flinders Street Station — all within walking distance.

    Trams at your doorstep make getting anywhere a breeze — and remember, travel within Melbourne’s city grid is free!

    GETTING HERE:
    From the airport, grab a taxi, Uber, or Ola straight to your door. Or jump on the Skybus to Southern Cross Station, then hop a short tram ride to the stop just outside your building. Simple, safe, and convenient.

    From the Owner
    "We bought this apartment as our Melbourne retreat while living overseas — and we’ve furnished it to be a place we'd love to stay ourselves, not just a serviced apartment. You’ll find everything you need to feel truly at home — from soft beds to a welcoming lounge and a sunny balcony. We love how easily you can wander to the restaurants of Southbank, catch a show at the Arts Centre, or take a quick tram to the beach. Melbourne living at its best."

Perfect inner city holiday apartment

We loved cityside on Whiteman. The owners have thought of everything to make you comfortable. The little details are very impressive. Board games, tv with streaming services for the odd rainy day / evening wind down. Kitchen and living room really well supplied with everything you need.Two generous sized bedrooms and two bathrooms make this really comfortable. There is a tram stop right outside and you can catch a tram straight to St Kilda beach.

Brilliant apartment

Great apartment. Chris was amazing to deal with, as was Magy who greeted me upon arrival. Everything I needed was there, bed was extra comfortable, and location was perfect. Homely, clean and neat. Will definitely stay there each time I'm in Melbourne.
