Self-contained apartments on Richmond's Swan Street, close to the MCG, Melbourne Park and Bridge Road's outlet shops.
Caroline Serviced Apartments Richmond occupies a low-rise building at 251 Swan Street in Richmond, close to the MCG, Melbourne Park's tennis and sporting precinct, and Bridge Road's factory outlet shopping strip. The property offers self-contained One and Two-Bedroom Apartments rather than standard hotel rooms, each with a kitchenette and in-suite laundry, making it a practical option for families, sports fans attending events at the MCG or Melbourne Park, and longer-stay business visitors. There is no in-house restaurant, pool or spa; instead the apartment format is built around self-catering, with Swan Street's cafes and restaurants a short walk away for those who prefer to eat out. Richmond's train station and tram routes provide quick access into the CBD, a few kilometres to the west, while Bridge Road's outlet stores are within easy walking distance for shopping. Service is straightforward and apartment-style, without a full concierge, suited to guests who value space and self-sufficiency over hotel amenities.
