St Kilda homes you can take for six weeks.
Furnished, bills included, and the agreement runs exactly as long as you need it to.
One week to 24 months is what EzyFlats rents in St Kilda. Most stays land between one and twelve weeks, which is the part of the year hotels price badly and agents will not let you have.
What counts as a medium-term rental?
Australian renting is built around two extremes. Short-stay platforms are priced by the night and get punishing past about a month. Traditional agencies want twelve months, a rental history and a queue of applicants at a Saturday inspection. Neither fits someone who needs somewhere to live in St Kilda for six weeks.
Medium-term is the space in between — typically one to twelve weeks, though it stretches from a single week to two full years. The home comes furnished with bills included, the agreement is written and signed digitally, and the term is whatever you actually need.

Medium-term agreements in Victoria
Victoria treats stays under 28 days as short-stay accommodation, outside the Residential Tenancies Act. Bookings below that threshold run with a deposit held by EzyFlats instead of a bond lodged with the RTBA; longer stays are documented to match.
Staying in St Kilda
St Kilda sits on Port Phillip Bay 6km south of Melbourne's CBD and has spent the last forty years cycling between bohemian seediness and gentrified café-strip respectability — currently the latter, but the contradictions are still visible. The suburb's defining axes are the beach (Port Phillip's most accessible swimming beach, with the long pier and Luna Park visible from most of the suburb), Acland Street (cake shops, Polish and Russian heritage delis, fashion), and Fitzroy Street (bars, restaurants, late-night venues). The renter demographic is unusually broad: hospitality and creative workers in their twenties, professional couples in their thirties paying premium for the lifestyle, retirees in long-held bayside apartments, and a substantial tourist-and-visitor flow that supports the food and bar scene. Housing stock is heavy on Art Deco and inter-war apartment blocks (St Kilda has Australia's largest concentration of Art Deco residential buildings), with Edwardian villas in the streets behind and newer apartment towers near the beach. Walk Score is very high. The 96 tram runs along Acland Street directly to Bourke Street in the CBD in 15–25 minutes — one of Melbourne's most reliable tram lines. Balaclava and Windsor train stations are a 10-minute walk inland. Typical furnished tenants include tourism and hospitality workers, returning expats setting up before a longer lease, music and creative-industry freelancers, and corporate transferees who want lifestyle over a CBD-adjacent commute. Adjacent precincts that share the bayside character include St Kilda East (quieter, more terraces), Elwood (more residential, family-friendly) and South Melbourne (more apartments, closer to the CBD).

Medium-term rentals in St Kilda — common questions
How long is a medium-term rental in St Kilda?
Medium-term sits between a short stay and a standard residential lease — longer than a holiday booking, shorter than a twelve-month commitment. On EzyFlats in St Kilda that means anything from one week to 24 months, and most stays run between one and twelve weeks.
How is it different from a short-term rental?
Short-stay platforms price by the night and get expensive past about a month, with cleaning and service fees stacked on top. A medium-term rental is priced weekly, includes bills, furniture and Wi-Fi, and comes with a written agreement rather than a booking confirmation.
Do I need to sign a 12-month lease?
No. That is the point of the category. You commit to the term you actually need in St Kilda — a week, a season, or up to two years — with no rollover and no lock-in.
What is included?
Every home is fully furnished with bills and Wi-Fi included, so there is nothing to connect, buy or move in. Listings are pre-screened and every landlord is ID-verified.
How is my money protected?
Deposit held securely by EzyFlats until move-in. Rent is processed through Stripe, and the Move-In Guarantee refunds your first week's rent and service fee if the property does not match its listing.
