Neighbourhood

Ardoch is within walking distance of several shopping areas that have great coffee shops (we Melburnians are very particular about our coffee!), with classy Italian, French, Chinese and Thai restaurants, and multiple pubs and late-night bars. We are also close to St Kilda, a beach-side suburb easily accessible by tram. Getting into the centre of Melbourne city is also easy by taking the tram along Dandenong Rd.

Nearest airport

The nearest airport is Melbourne Airport, about 50 minutes taxi ride away.

Getting Around

There is very good public transport. Walk outside the main front gates of Ardoch and there is a tram line going directly into the city (about 25 minutes). To return, get a no 5 or a no 64 tram on Swanston St and alight at stop 34 (The Avenue) along Dandenong Road. About 10 minutes walk away there is also the Windsor train station, which goes directly into the city and takes about 15 minutes.

  • We have just had a few days at Meredith’s charming home. Clear communication and a detailed home book is a key to great exchange. Her home is located in a great location close to the city with a tram stop conveniently located out the front about 280 meters from the front door. Would definitely go back again.

  • We had a wonderful stay at this cosy and comfortable apartment in St Kilda. The space had everything we needed. Meredith welcome manual has all the information and great recommendations. The location is fantastic, with easy access to public transport and just a short trip into the heart of Melbourne. It made the perfect base for exploring the city and soaking up the St Kilda vibe. We also loved the heritage-listed complex, full of character and charm, with its peaceful “village green” — such a unique and relaxing spot to return to each day. Communication with Meredith was excellent throughout. Thank you Meredith and Jim!

  • We loved staying at Meredith and Jim’s home. It is such a peaceful place you can easily forget it is within a stones throw of a busy major city. Their home is exceptionally well organised, cozy and quickly feels like home. Meredith and Jim couldn’t have been kinder, more generous or better at communicating. This is a high bar, but I hope all our exchanges are this good.

  • Jim and Meredith were fabulous to exchange homes with. The home manual was excellent. Their home was lovely and in a great part of Melbourne. They left a very nice welcome note and a few treats - thank you! Excellent communication, beautiful tidy and clean home. And great people!

  • Thank you so much, Ali. This was our first experience of simultaneous home exchange and we certainly lucked out getting you! Your home is simply gorgeous, but more than this, you become like friends to us. Thank you for initiating the exchange!
