STORY house

A serviced apartment, also known as an apart-hotel, is a fully furnished home that comes fully serviced, with regular cleaning, fresh linen and round-the-clock support. At Rambla @ Story House in Kangaroo Point, that means a kitchenette with a stove top, microwave, sink and dishwasher, your own in-apartment laundry and room to actually live in, not just sleep: your home away from home, whether it's a few nights or a few months.

You get a lot more room to actually live. Rambla @ Story House gives you a studio apartment with space to live in instead of a standard hotel room, plus your own kitchenette, in-apartment laundry, housekeeping and 24-hour guest support. That's the apart-hotel difference: it's built for longer stays in Kangaroo Point, so you can cook, work or just switch off on your own schedule.
