Oaks Melbourne Flemington Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Caretaker couldn't have been more helpful. We arrived very late and he was more than accomodating. Great location for our needs. Awesome city views from our room. Wide secure car parking. Apartment had everything you need. Only suggestion (albeit very minor) would be...some coffee mugs would be nice in lieu of tea cups given there was a coffee machine available to use and another towel rack in the bathroom. 5 🌟"
