Long stay accommodation and serviced apartments in Melbourne

A long stay needs more than a room with a kitchenette. Westprecinct residences are exquisitely furnished, managed and serviced homes in Melbourne's inner south-east and bayside suburbs, made for stays of 30 days and longer. There's room to live and work, a proper kitchen, and one point of contact from the first conversation to the day you leave. Whether you call it a long stay or long term accommodation, it means the same here: a managed serviced residence from 30 days, continued by arrangement as your plans change.

More on this in Extended stay accommodation: a guide.

Relocation and assignments. Executives, professionals and their families settling into Melbourne, often arranged by an employer.

While your home is repaired. Households whose home is unliveable after fire, flood, storm or water damage.

Renovating or building. A settled home nearby while the works run their course.

Between homes. The gap between selling one home and settling into the next.

Projects and assignments. Project teams and consultants on longer engagements.

What a long stay means here. Melbourne stays begin at 30 days and continue by arrangement as your plans move, whether that's a posting that runs on, a rebuild that slips or a settlement date that shifts. Rates are tailored to the length of your stay. Inclusions are set out clearly in your agreement before your stay is confirmed, so nothing is left to assumption. The home, the service and your guest manager stay the same from the first week to the last.

Our Melbourne residences are in Toorak, Armadale, Malvern, Brighton and Brighton Beach, each chosen for its neighbourhood as much as its address.

How long can you stay?

There is no fixed limit, and in Melbourne you can stay from 30 days. The more useful answer is that the right kind of stay changes with its length: what suits a week is not what suits a few months.

A few nights to a few weeks

For a brief visit, a hotel or a traditional serviced apartment makes sense. You want convenience, a central location and little commitment, and a compact room barely matters when you are passing through.

From 30 days, month to month

From a month, the calculation shifts. Nightly pricing adds up quickly and a single room begins to feel confining. A Melbourne stay can begin at 30 days and continue month by month as plans settle, subject to availability. That gives you real living space, a proper kitchen and a calm residential setting: the space of a home with the service of a professionally run stay.

30 to 365 days, or any length in between

For a relocation, a longer project posting, a renovation or time between homes, a managed serviced residence is the more considered choice. Melbourne stays run from 30 to 365 days, or any length in between, and can continue beyond a year if plans call for it. The stay is set by your plans rather than by a fixed term. You live in a fully equipped residence with space for family and the freedom to live on your terms, at rates designed for longer stays rather than nightly ones.

Arranging a long stay for someone else

Many long stays are arranged by an employer, relocation team or project manager. One point of contact works with whoever arranges the stay and with the guest, from first enquiry to departure. For assignments and professional stays, see corporate accommodation in Melbourne.

What to check before you commit

Whatever you choose for a longer stay, four things make the difference.

• How pricing scales with duration: rates should reward a longer stay
• Whether the terms flex if your dates change, so you are not locked into a fixed window
• What is included: furnishings, parking, linen and utilities by agreement
• Whether one dedicated contact is accountable for the residence throughout

At Westprecinct, each of these is set out clearly before your stay is confirmed.

Included in every long stay

Every residence is prepared to The Westprecinct Standard and looked after by one dedicated guest experience contact who knows the residence and the guest.

• A fully furnished residence, ready to live in from the first day
