Big Bash Cricket at Marvel Stadium: Family-Friendly Apartment Stays
Summer in Melbourne means Big Bash League (BBL) cricket at Marvel Stadium. With fast-paced action, fireworks, and family entertainment, it's one of the highlights of the summer school holidays.
Because Marvel Stadium features a retractable roof, games are guaranteed rain-or-shine, making it the most reliable sporting fixture on the summer calendar.
If you're bringing your family to Melbourne for a BBL match, staying at Havenly Escape (250 Spencer Street) provides a stress-free, home-away-from-home experience.
1. Family Apartment Comfort vs. Hotel Rooms
Eating out three meals a day with children in the CBD gets expensive quickly. Hotel rooms lack kitchens and laundry facilities, making extended family stays challenging.
Havenly Escape apartments are fully self-contained:
- Full Kitchen & Fridge: Cook family meals, prepare kid-friendly snacks, and keep drinks cold. Coles supermarket is directly across the street.
- In-Apartment Laundry: Washer and dryer facilities inside the apartment make managing summer outfits and swimwear easy.
- Spacious Living Lounge: Kids can relax with smart TV entertainment while parents enjoy city views.
2. The 5-Minute Flat Walk to the Concourse
Walking with young children or strollers in crowded city streets can be exhausting.
- Proximity: 400 metres from Marvel Stadium gates.
- Route: Elevated Bourke Street pedestrian footbridge—no busy road crossings required.
- Convenience: Easily walk back to your apartment for afternoon naps before evening games.
3. Summer Pool Fun: Level 6 & Level 11 Indoor Pools
Keep the kids entertained before match time with West Side Place's indoor pool facilities:
- Level 6 Lap Pool: Heated 25-metre indoor lap pool, steam room, and sauna open to all guests.
- Level 11 Sky Residences Pool: Indoor infinity pool exclusive to guests of our 3-Bedroom Sky Residence.
