About the host

Hosted by Boutique Stays Accommodation Group

Host profile image
Established in 2006, Boutique Stays is a reputable Melbourne-based property management company providing short to medium term accommodation for guests looking for corporate, family, and pet friendly stays.
Boutique Stays began as a small, home-based operation born from a desire for a more appealing accommodation option for business travellers where guests could open a window, sink into a comfortable couch, enjoy fresh air from the courtyard, or cook their own meals rather than staying in a basic hotel room.
Boutique Stays has grown to offer a portfolio of more than 60 high-quality homes and apartments located across almost 40 of Melbourne¿s most iconic and popular neighbourhoods. We provide guest-ready properties catering to family groups and the corporate sector where guests want the comfort, space, value, and amenities of a private home. We welcome guests travelling for leisure and business, as well as those who are temporarily out of home while building, renovating, or getting insurance works completed.
