Live The Best Of Both Worlds

Combining coastal serenity with Melbourne's metropolitan allure

  
These days, the Great Australian Dream comes in many shapes and sizes. For those starting out it’s the dream of getting on the property ladder. For growing families, it could be a sprawling suburban home with a big backyard. For downsizers it might be a low-maintenance apartment with all the mod cons. Whatever your stage of life or lifestyle, there’s one aspect of the dream that almost everyone eventually aspires to—balancing your time between an idyllic coastal or country retreat and a city-based ‘bolthole’ in the heart of the action.  

For those who enjoy the best of both worlds, it can mean waking up some mornings to the sound of birds chirping over Lake Daylesford or waves pounding the beach in Lorne, with weekend jaunts into the city for a taste of Melbourne’s many cultural delights. 

Here's how embracing a dual-home lifestyle—one nestled in the peaceful outskirts and the other, a luxury apartment in the heart of Melbourne—offers you an unparalleled way of living. 

Coast or Country

With more than 34,000 km of coastline, it’s little wonder that Australians love to be beside the beach. The attraction of coastal living is so deeply ingrained in the Australian way of life, that towns like Torquay, Sorrento, Flinders, and Red Hill count as some of the most visited places in Victoria, not to mention among the most tightly held property markets in the country.  

For others, living among gum trees and rolling hills brings a profound sense of freedom and deep connection to the natural world. Small-town life, close-knit community, and a more relaxed pace are irresistible draws. There’s space and tranquillity to pursue hobbies and slow down in a way that city life rarely permits.  

Marvellous Melbourne 

Yet, the allure of Melbourne's vibrant culture is undeniable. This is where a luxury apartment in the city, like Trielle at Yarra’s Edge, becomes invaluable. Imagine a sleek, modern residence that puts you on the doorstep of Melbourne's most exciting events and famed locations. It's your base for exploring and indulging in the city's renowned cultural offerings.  

Whether it’s the Australian Open, Melbourne’s International Comedy Festival, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, or the Melbourne Cup Carnival, the city is your stage for world-class events. The culinary scene is a gourmand's delight, with famed restaurants like Gimlet, Grossi Florentino, and Society offering unforgettable dining experiences. And let’s not forget that Melbourne’s theatre, nightlife, museums, and galleries rival the best in the world. 

Within the city's embrace, nearby suburbs like South Melbourne and Port Melbourne stand out as cultural hotspots. South Melbourne is a vibrant Melbourne gem famous for the iconic South Melbourne Market, a treasure trove of fresh produce and international flavours. Explore the charming streets lined with cafes like St Ali, a Melbourne coffee institution, and trendy restaurants – South Melbourne offers a delicious and delightful experience. 

Port Melbourne beckons with its waterfront charm. Stroll along the scenic promenade, soaking in the sea breezes and stunning views. Take a historic walk along Princes Pier or explore the creative energy of Gasworks Art Park, a former industrial site transformed into a hub of art exhibitions and events. Foodies can indulge in Bay Street's restaurants and cafes, while the adventurous can try go-kart racing or water sports. Port Melbourne offers a delightful blend of history, nature, and vibrant energy. 

The Best of Both Worlds 

Owning a luxury apartment in Melbourne, especially in a coveted location like Trielle at Yarra’s Edge, offers unparalleled convenience and style. It means being in the heart of the action when you choose to be, without sacrificing the peace and space of your coastal or country home. It's about seamlessly transitioning between the serenity of nature and the exhilarating pace of city life. With this lifestyle, every day is an opportunity to explore, relax, and indulge in the best of both worlds.
