The apartment
27 floors up on Little Lonsdale Street, with the skyline as your backdrop, Aurora is a bright, carefully considered two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment — and it comes with a free secure undercover car space, a rarity in central Melbourne. Two queen bedrooms sleep four, or up to six with the sofa bed; ducted heating and cooling, Miele cooking appliances, hotel-grade linen on premium mattresses and a 65-inch smart television are all part of the stay, and the building has its own heated pool and gym. Southern Cross Station is a short walk, inside the Free Tram Zone, where trams are free of charge. Ideal for families, groups and business travellers.

Two queen bedrooms and two bathrooms mean two couples, or a family, can travel together without queuing for the shower: the master has its own ensuite. The second bathroom has two doors, one from the second bedroom and one from the kitchen. Close and lock the kitchen door and it is a private ensuite for the second bedroom; open both doors and it is shared. The open-plan living and dining room has sweeping city views, a 65-inch smart television to sign in to your own streaming apps, a dining table for four, a collapsible desk with a swivel chair and a private balcony with a bistro setting; the sofa bed takes the fifth and sixth guests.
The kitchen has a Miele four-burner gas cooktop, a Miele wall oven and a Miele built-in microwave, with a Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezer and a Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher, a Nespresso machine with a milk frother, a kettle, a toaster and a rice cooker. Coffee pods, tea, sugar, dishwasher tablets, laundry liquid and toilet paper are waiting when you arrive; a combination washer-dryer sits in the second bathroom, and ducted heating and cooling reaches every room.
Your building fob opens the heated pool and the gym, and neither needs booking. The car space is yours for the stay, with a garage remote handed over with your keys. The apartment is professionally cleaned and checked to a premium standard before every arrival.
Southern Cross Station — trains, coaches and SkyBus, the airport express — is 5 to 6 minutes’ walk. Lune Croissanterie, for croissants and coffee, is 3 minutes; Flagstaff Gardens, the nearest city park, 5; and Queen Victoria Market and Hardware Lane, a pedestrian street of restaurants and cafés, about 8.
Check-in is self-service: at a staffed counter at the station’s Bourke Street entrance, 8 to 10 minutes’ walk from the door, you are handed your keys, fob and garage remote, and we send clear directions before you travel.

Frequently asked questions
How does check-in work, and where do I collect the keys?
Check-in is self-service from 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Keys come from a staffed counter at the Bourke Street entrance to Southern Cross Station, 8 to 10 minutes from the apartment, where you are handed your keys, fob and garage remote. If there is any chance you will arrive after the counter closes, let us know before you book. The keys go back to where you collected them by 10:15 AM; the 15 minutes is for the walk. We send clear directions before you arrive.
Is there parking?
One free undercover space in the building car park is included with the apartment. A secure car space, with a height clearance of 2.1 metres. Your bay number is in your check-in message. Park one vehicle only, wholly within your bay; the building removes vehicles left in visitor bays or other residents’ spaces. On check-out day, drive down the ramp to the gate you came in by and press the top button on the remote to open it, and please have the car out of the bay by 10:00 AM.
Are early check-in and late check-out available?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Early check-in brings it forward to 1:00 PM; it is an optional extra, subject to availability: add it when you book, or ask us at least 24 hours before you arrive. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. Late check-out extends it to 12:00 PM; it is an optional extra, subject to availability: add it when you book, or ask us at least 24 hours before check-out.

Yes. See Optional extras, above.
Is there a lift, and can a delivery driver reach the apartment?
There is a lift. Meet your driver outside the building’s main entrance — drivers cannot come up to the apartment.
How do I get here from the airport?
SkyBus, the airport express bus, connects Melbourne Airport directly with Southern Cross Station, a short walk from the apartment, and is a direct, affordable way into the city. A taxi or rideshare takes about half an hour, depending on traffic. Interstate and regional trains and coaches arrive at Southern Cross Station too.
Does every bedroom have a window?
No. The second bedroom is an internal room with a frosted glass feature wall rather than an external window; it has its own blind and stays very dark and quiet.
Show More
Is the pool private, and do I need to book the facilities?
It is the building’s shared indoor pool, for residents and guests alike. Your building fob opens the heated indoor pool and the gym, first come, first served, with no booking needed, open 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with a shower and toilet beside the pool. Children must be supervised at the pool. Opening hours and rules are posted at each facility — please follow them.
Can our group share the keys?
Yes. Your stay comes with one set of keys, one fob and one garage remote. The key collection details are in your check-in message. If your group would like to pass the keys between you during your stay, let us know first: we will set up a reusable code, so the keys can be left and collected at the key counter during its opening hours.
How many bathrooms are there?
Two: the master ensuite, and a second bathroom described under The apartment, above.
Does the apartment sleep six, and can the beds be changed?
Yes. The bedrooms sleep four, and the sofa bed in the living area takes a fifth and sixth guest; the sofa-bed terms are in the house rules. The bed arrangement in each apartment is fixed: beds cannot be split, swapped or added to.
Why do I need to verify my identity before arrival?
Check-in is self-service, so nobody meets you at the door to check your ID. Instead, the booking holder verifies their identity online before arrival, through our secure provider, with a passport or driver’s licence; it takes about two minutes on a phone. It protects you, the apartment and the building’s residents, and your check-in details are released once it is complete. What is collected, and how long it is kept, is set out in our Privacy Policy.
Who do I contact during my stay?
Message us in the app you booked with, or email hello@casoluna.com. Your messages come straight to Casoluna, not to a call centre, so the person who answers knows your apartment.
