Five balconies with fantastic views of Melbourne
With summer heating up, there's few better places in Melbourne to sit and relax then a rooftop or balcony.
While many bars, restaurants and even cinemas are taking advantage of elevated open spaces, many residential offerings provide a personal oasis amongst the heat of summer.
