Temporary Accommodation During Home Renovations in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs

Having your home renovated can be exciting, but living through the disruption is another matter. When your kitchen is out of action, your bathroom is being renovated or major building work is underway, finding somewhere comfortable to stay becomes a priority. It can be especially difficult if you need to stay close to the same area due to school or work commitments.

Bungunyah Apartments provides fully furnished, self contained villa accommodation for families and individuals who need somewhere to live while their home is being renovated. Located in Croydon, our villas provide a comfortable temporary home in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, with the space and facilities you need for everyday living.

A Comfortable Place to Stay While Your Home Is Being Renovated

Moving out of your home during a renovation does not mean you need to live out of a suitcase in a hotel room. Our freestanding villas give you space to relax, prepare your own meals and do your own laundry, which can help reduce the cost of eating out and using hotel laundry services during a longer stay.

Each villa includes separate bedrooms, full sized bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living and dining areas and laundry facilities. Private outdoor space also gives you somewhere to relax at the end of the day.

For families, having separate bedrooms and living areas can make a big difference when a renovation takes several weeks or longer. Everyone can enjoy their own space while still having plenty of room to spend time together, just as they would at home.

The Longer You Stay, The Less You Pay

Tariffs are discounted for stays of one week or more, with even lower rates available for longer bookings. This means you can benefit from lower rates if you need to stay for several weeks or even months while your home renovation is underway.

Client Review

“We can’t thank the team enough at Bungunyah apartments for all their help. We stayed here while our house was being fixed for four months and it was a fantastic experience. Henriette made the whole process so easy and the townhouse was lovely. The kids loved the towel animals each week. We Would highly recommend bungunyah appartments.”

It was wonderful to have you and your family staying with us. You made it very easy and a pleasure to accommodate you for an extended stay and it was a bit of fun for Tina to make a few different animals to mix it up for the kids! We are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and hope that you are happy with the repairs done to your home. 

Many thanks and take care Henriette

Our family stayed at Bungunyah for nearly 3 months and loved their stay. They were looked after very well. Sean and Henriette are very accommodating hosts and great communicators.

I had a wonderful stay here. The place was very clean with a cosy, peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to truly relax. The owners were friendly, and helpful which made the stay even better. It had everything I needed, including a full kitchen with a full‑size fridge and a washing machine. The surroundings were beautiful, with trees and well‑maintained gardens that added to the calm vibe. A great spot to unwind and settle in.

Rooms are very clean, the house is very cosy and welcoming. The location was very convenient for us. The services wasn't great for the value of money, you will pay the hotel price but only one towel for each person even we have booked it for 10 days for 4 adults and 2 paper towels and not even an iron. We went in summer and the rooms were so hot because the air-conditioning is just in the dining room and only one small fan for 2 rooms. when you pay hotel prices you would expect abit more
