Welcome to Urban Pause

Urban Pause offers a fresh take on short-term stays—luxury homes in metro Melbourne, designed for comfort, style, and ease.

Urban Pause began with a simple idea: to create a better temporary housing experience for individuals navigating challenging life transitions. Inspired by the calm and clarity of a “pause,” we designed our brand to reflect warmth, reliability, and modern living. Our talented design and branding team help bring this vision to life — combining aesthetics with functionality to support our guests and partners.
