The Neighborhood:
Melbourne's oldest suburbs continue to evolve and South Melbourne is no different. Leafy streets are lined with heritage buildings, now restored to house chic boutiques, cafes and restaurants.


KICKSTARTS AND UPSTARTS IN SOUTH MELBOURNE

Start the day with brunch on Clarendon, York or Cecil Streets or in South Melbourne Market on Coventry. Prep for the day with caffeine at St Ali or Clement, and indulge in daybreak decadence at Chez Dré, Austro and Proper & Son. The Kettle Black serves up a stroll-worthy brunch on Albert Road.

Stock up on fresh produce at the market for a picnic on the banks of pretty Albert Park Lake. Browse speciality shops along Coventry Street: pick up new releases and classic reads at Coventry Bookstore, contemporary fashion and accessories at Mr Darcy, and all things food at The Essential Ingredient.

After dark, experiment with the multi-sensory menu at Lûmé or opt for time-honoured Japanese elegance at intimate 12-seater Tempura Hajime. Schedule wine time at Bellota Wine Bar or beer o'clock at The Palace Hotel.

LET LOOSE ON THE LAKE

Make your way to Albert Park Lake. Jog or cycle around the lake or join the locals sailing on the water. Join the party in March when the surrounding roads are transformed into track for the Australian Formula 1™ Grand Prix. Swim, shoot hoops and swat shuttlecocks at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, and up your handicap at the championship public golf course or Albert Park Driving Range.

WHEN THE RACING STOPS AT ALBERT PARK

Return to a peaceful post-Grand Prix Albert Park to explore the Victorian shopfronts of Bridport Street and Victoria Avenue. Lose an hour or two at Avenue Bookstore, replenishing next door at Albert Park Deli or with an ice-cream from Jock's. Gaze at the city lights from Kerferd Road Pier, see independent performances and outdoor summer cinema at Gasworks, and shop for fresh produce at the farmers' market.

This is subject to approval and will depend on departing guests. If you definitely require earlier access, consider booking the night before if it is still available at this time.
