We had a really great experience with The Archive Melbourne, especially with Kay throughout the whole application process. Kay was incredibly helpful, patient and responsive from start to finish. Our application had quite a few documents and updates involved, and she always followed up clearly, explained what was needed, and made the whole process much easier for us. She was also very friendly and reassuring throughout, which we really appreciated. A big thank you as well to Livinia for her help with the application and document checks. The whole process definitely felt like a bit of a marathon 😅, but Kay made it much smoother and kept us updated the whole way through. Really appreciate all the help — thank you Kay and the team!

Kay was amazing! Extremely professional and respectful, but also extremely friendly. I had a 1 hour tour of the building and apartments with her, where she was able to answer every single question I had really well, and made the tour very personalised to my priorities. If the staff are that good, it’s a good sign that the building is managed well - I accepted the lease I was offered and am moving into The Archive!
Julie Uffer
The team there is amazing. They did everything they could to find the perfect fit for me. Especially Kay who is very professional and sweet. The facilities look amazing, the apartment is exactly what I was looking for and they are very pet friendly. I can’t wait to move in!
Michael Pham
Kay took me for an inspection and she was so accomodating and helpful. We spent a full hour comparing the different options and layouts of apartments at the Archive. It was an amazing tour.
