    Southbank for sure! I'm from Vic originally and we went back to Melb in April with DD and my parents and we stayed at The Mantra Apartments, Southbank. Brilliant location, great size and well furnished apartments and our rates were fabulous. Easy walk to all the restaurants along the Yarra on Southbank and the Casino so cheap meals - restaurants and food courts. Lots of buskers along there too, day and night, so entertaining for all. Very family friendly area. Train station close by if you want to travel elsewhere (highly recommend the zoo) and The Aquarium, The Eureka Tower and Federation Square are all within walking distance. The have a nice market under the bridge (which takes you to Fed Sq) on Sundays too. A quick tram trip or taxi ride and you're in Bourke St Mall too
