Luxico.com.au founder Alex Ormerod says the hand-picked luxury home rental company still has some great properties available during the Australian Open despite strong demand for its quality Melbourne accommodation during Asia-Pacific's grand slam tennis event.

They range from stylish three-bedroom apartment in Fitzroy from $296 a night right through to a Victorian mansion in Camberwell with its own tennis court that costs a little more - $1658 per night for the sprawling four-bedroom, four-bathroom home.

In a special deal, every Luxico Melbourne booking made from January 15 to 28 will include an Australian Open ground pass for all guests providing access to Hisense Arena and all outside courts at the iconic Melbourne Park tennis complex. 

Ms Ormerod said January bookings for Luxico's curated Melbourne properties are up 25% over last year and is expecting a last-minute rush. “We've noticed a real trend to late bookings over the past six months,” she said.
