House of Windsor by Ready Set Stay - Kings Domain - Fully Fenced and WIFI

Better than a 5-star hotel - Free high-speed WIFI, Netflix and parking.

Melbourne is continually voted the most liveable city in the world, and Windsor is the diamond in her crown. From dining to shopping and nightlife, Windsor has it all.

Nestled in a quiet and peaceful street, but only a 2-minute stroll to the famous Chapel Street. Within walking distance to trams and trains and The Avenue Hospital.

THE SPACE
The King Domain at the House of Windsor is one of two self-contacted homes.

Why book just another apartment in a big block with no views when, for the same price, you can stay at The House of Windsor?

The King's Domain, the entire ground-floor apartment, represents open-plan living at its most stylish and luxurious and sleeps 5. This townhouse is fitted to the highest standard of appointments and luxury fittings, ideally suited to extended bookings, including hotel-quality, starched, and laundered bed linen.

I also have a one-bedroom apartment on the first floor that sleeps 4, which you can view by visiting my profile attached to this listing. Both apartments are fitted out to the same exceptionally high standard.

At about 100 SQ/M, the space is about 75% larger than other apartments in multi-unit developments and nearly four times the size of a standard hotel room, yet well under half the price.

The townhouse features extra-high ceilings and open-plan living, dining, and entertaining spaces, with custom steel-framed doors that open onto a fabulous front courtyard.

The gourmet kitchen, designed for entertaining, includes an induction cooktop, an entire oven, and a butler's pantry. It also has a full-size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer, and dryer.

The townhouse features reverse-cycle air-conditioning and an excellent gas fire.

Unlike other listings that are often not much bigger than studio apartments in large blocks of hundreds of units, this is your own space in a low-rise neighbourhood of local homes, not tourists or student accommodation.

This is an ample open-plan space with two bedrooms, one with a queen bed in each and another with a single sofa bed.

The bathroom has two toilets and hand basins, separated by 4/5 metres. Between the two toilets, there is a massive rainhead shower. The show has floor-to-fully frosted ceiling glass. It is designed so that someone can use the battery and leave one side, while someone else can use the bathroom on the other side or enter the rain when vacant. You must wait until the other side is free if total privacy is required.

The house is in a residential street with surrounding permanent tenants, so we only rent to mature guests who will remain respectful to our neighbours. The house will be used for relaxation-style holidaying; loud parties are prohibited.

GUEST ACCESS
You will have access to the entire unit with a private entrance.

BEDROOM CONFIGURATION
Bedroom 1: Queen bed (2 guests)
Bedroom 2: Queen bed (2 guests)

Please note Bedroom 2 has a single sofa bed for a child only.

GUEST INTERACTION
Should you have any questions, we're fully contactable before, during, and after your stay. We will also respect your privacy and let you enjoy yourselves!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Limited parking is available down a dead-end street, but finding a park isn't usually a problem. We will supply you with one parking permit for the home.

GETTING AROUND
The Sky Bus runs every 10 minutes to/from the airport to Spencer St. $18 O/W $35 RT. The trip takes 20 minutes. You can then catch a train or tram to the House of Windsor. Google Maps and the PTV app are great tools for navigating Melbourne's public transport.

Sky Bus also runs a service from the airport to/from St Kilda. This is the same price point and a better/cheaper option. However, it only runs every 30 minutes between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. I'd suggest installing the Uber app to get an Uber to the House of Windsor. It would only take a few minutes from the Sky Bus stop in St Kilda.

Myki—a public transport card—is used on all trains, trams, and buses. The CBD is a free travel zone, and Windsor is in the area. A 2-hour pass costs $4.10, and a full day is $8.2. Myki cards can be purchased at many convenience stores. 7/11 stores seem the most common and most accessible to remember; the closest one is on the corner of Chapel and High Street. Myki cards can't be purchased onboard.

The best tram route is the number 6 Glen Iris line, getting off one stop past Chapel St. If you aren't rushed for time, the number 6 tram is an excellent option as it takes you past loads of Melbourne's best landmarks: Bourke St Mall, Flinders St Station, the Yarra River, Fed Square, the Arts Centre, and the Shrine Royal Domain. Just catch a tram first along Bourke St and transfer to number 6 at the stop after the Bourke St Mall.

The closest train stations are Windsor and Prahran, which are equal distances, and it is the Sandringham line.

Taxis and ride-share services to/from the airport cost about $50-$75 or higher, depending on traffic. They take thirty minutes off-peak, but they can take approximately 45 minutes in peak traffic.

ADDITIONAL RULES
Strictly no schoolies, parties or events. Mature guests only. The property is patrolled by security. If neighbours complain or the police are called, this could affect your bond, and we reserve the right to evict guests.

Bookings can only be confirmed once the verification process has been completed.

Please read and accept our terms and conditions. Council Short Stay Accommodation Code of Conduct rules apply.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
Access details will be available for you to enter directly at the home. Unfortunately, we do not get a chance to meet, but this provides a simple and convenient way for you to enter and depart the home quickly. We can be contacted via the booking platform anytime during your stay, and we will send you our office number if you need us urgently. We want to ensure your visit is enjoyable. Thank you.

We don't like rules ourselves. However, this is a multimillion-dollar apartment, and sadly, we have only one bad incident that involved people using drugs on the property, so we hope you understand our caution.

One/ ABSOLUTELY no parties or events.

Any breach will result in the forfeiture of the security bond in full. The police will be called, and you will be asked to leave.

Two/ Without prior approval, only registered guests can be on the property anytime.

3/ No smoking inside. No smoking on the rooftop terrace.

At no time must any noise emanate or be able to be heard outside of your apartment. We live near our neighbours, and if we get one complaint from them or guests staying in the other apartment, you will be asked to cease the noise. Failure to do so will see forfeiture of the entire security bond, and police will be called.

Pet Policy: The apartment is pet-friendly, but strict conditions apply. Dog owners, please be aware that it is only suitable for one small dog.

You must request permission before you book, and the cost of any damage or additional cleaning will be recovered. If your dog sheds, there will be an automatic additional cleaning charge. Our preference is for a small dog, but others may be considered on request.

Your booking may be cancelled if you have a dog and do not seek permission prior.

If your dog barks and we get a complaint from neighbours, you will be asked to leave, and your booking will be cancelled. We hate to be so strict; we are dog owners, but we have had too many instances of damage being caused, and neighbours have been lodging complaints with the council.

By proceeding with your booking, you agree to these conditions.

Windsor Stay
The property was clean and comfortable and was well located. The quirkiness of the decor was an unexpected bonus. The accommodation was great for a couple or small family (who are used to living together) but the configuration of the bathroom and second bedroom would make it not as appealing for other types of guests.

Great location and hosts
You can’t beat the location of this property, very close to chapel street, public transport and local coffee shops/eateries. The hosts were excellent - welcoming and responsive whenever we had questions. The property is as advertised. Lacks a bit of privacy between the two bedrooms and a shared shower but otherwise great.

Lovely short stay
We stayed at House of Windsor for 4 nights and enjoyed the business of chapel street and the quietness of the accommodation a short stroll away. The house was tidy and comfortable, with a cosy fire place and open living area. It was a little breezy with wind coming through the front door and a bedroom door opening in the middle of the night but it was also very windy during our stay. All in all an enjoyable stay.

Perfect for Families
The House of Windsor was the perfect for our family getaway to Melbourne. The added luxury touches made our stay very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped with a large fridge, the queen beds are very comfortable with lovely soft cotton linen and the warmth from the gas fire heater was quite cozy. Its location was great! It’s close to the shops and cafes on Chapel, has a playground over the road and is a 6 minute walk to the train station. I highly recommend this accommodation for your next trip to Melbourne!

House of Windsor
We originally booked for ourselves & daughter & partner but on arrival soon realised this wouldn’t work due to the lack of privacy in the ‘2nd’ bedroom & had to then pay for an hotel room for them. Think should probably be advised as a 1 bedroom or for a ‘girls or boys’ only get away! The accommodation is quirky & close to Chapel St & restaurants etc which is great .

Quirky stay
We selected this place for the location (perfect for Chapel St) and for the spacious living area with lots of windows. Lovely. We stayed in the ground floor unit for a week. The photos are pretty accurate. We enjoyed our stay and would rebook despite the comments I have listed below. There is one split system air conditioner in the living room which is meant to be effective for the entire unit. Our first night was uncomfortably warm as the air conditioning did not cool adequately. I wouldn’t like to be there in a heatwave. Future nights we slept with the door open in the main bedroom to a little secure courtyard. There are some significant negatives about the place which would not be an issue if you were only there as a couple. (We got used to them during our one week stay with our adult son and his partner) Second bedroom is actually just a space carved off the living space. The wall between the 2nd bedroom and living space is a clear Perspex screen with the British flag in front of it to give some degree of privacy. There is no door separating the 2nd bedroom from the living room. There is a Perspex screen door between the main bedroom and the 2nd bedroom. Means if one room has the light on, the light affects the adjoining bedroom. It also means there is no auditory privacy between the 2 bedrooms. The bathroom is unusual. It is a 1 metre wide space with 2 toilets and vanities separated by a shared shower space. No real privacy for anyone. The bathroom has 2 entries (one at each end of the shower) with timber barn doors as sliders. The sliders didn’t always stay closed and you could be sitting on the toilet and the door rolls open 30cm. The wardrobe in the main bedroom has only shelves available. The doors that would hold the hanging space were locked by the owners. The second bedroom has bedside tables but no other space for clothes. Laundry was good with washer and dryer. Kitchen well equipped but ovens were dirty. The blurb advertises a shared bbq on the rooftop. The rooftop space is empty. The living space was the highlight of the place and was perfect for sitting around and relaxing. Linen was clean. Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed our stay from 21/12/2921-28/12/2021

Funky space
Great looking apartment in a fantastic location. Lots of natural light and very nicely furnished. Kitchen is one of the best equipped I’ve ever encountered. Bathrooms are small and privacy is a bit of an issue - doors don’t stay shut. Also walls are paper thin - with plastic sliders so again not great for privacy. We enjoyed our stay here and it is very well appointed, and uniquely decorated.
