MAC Richmond is a studio; 21 sqm, well-designed, and put to full use. Large windows bring in natural light; blockout blinds take care of the rest. Split-system heating and cooling keeps things comfortable year-round.
The king bed sleeps one or two guests comfortably, and can be made into two singles on request. The kitchenette is fully equipped for self-catering with a fridge, stove, microwave, coffee machine, kettle and toaster, and the basics to get you started.
The bathroom features a walk-in shower with Melbourne-made Salus amenities.
Two room types offer a little more: the King Studio is an easy and comfortable home base. The King Studio Courtyard adds a private outdoor space, good for a morning coffee or an evening drink without going anywhere.
What you see is what you get. These apartments are photographed honestly, and they look the same when you arrive.
Please note: the building has 2 floors and no lift.

On event days at the MCG, Rod Laver Arena, or AAMI Park, street parking in Richmond fills quickly. If you're driving, booking onsite parking in advance is strongly recommended.
Richmond is one of Melbourne's great neighbourhoods and depending on why you're here, it offers a completely different version of itself.
Come for a game at the MCG, cricket at the 'G, or a concert at Rod Laver Arena or AAMI Park, and you'll find Rowena Parade puts you closer than almost anywhere else you could stay. Walk to the ground. Avoid the tram scramble. Get back to the apartment before the crowd disperses.
Come for the food and the suburb makes a different kind of sense. Swan Street is one of Melbourne's best-kept not-so-secrets: good wine bars, serious coffee, Vietnamese done properly on Victoria Street, and a stretch of restaurants that Melbourne locals actually go to. Bridge Road adds boutique shopping and more eating. The MCG is just the backdrop.
Richmond Station is a five-minute walk and connects you directly to the CBD, South Yarra, and Flinders Street. Multiple tram routes run through the suburb. But honestly, plenty of guests barely use them.
Richmond not quite the right fit for your trip? We have apartments across five Melbourne suburbs.
MAC Richmond is Melbourne's closest serviced apartment to the MCG, Rod Laver Arena, and AAMI Park. Walk to the game, walk back, skip the transport chaos.
