Renegades call HOME home
This partnership will see the Renegades' domestic and international players housed in premium apartments during their time in Melbourne, offering them a world-class rental experience at HOME Docklands.
Located at 687-689 La Trobe Street, just steps from the Renegades' home at Marvel Stadium, HOME Docklands offers 676 apartments a fraction of which have so far housed some of the best in world cricket in Hayley Matthews, Alice Capsey and Deandra Dottin during this successful WBBL season.
The partnership promises to deliver more than just a place to stay; it’s an opportunity for the players to enjoy HOME’s unparalleled lifestyle offerings, including next level amenities and a vibrant community atmosphere.
Melbourne Renegades CEO, James Rosengarten, welcomed the partnership, saying:
“This collaboration with HOME Docklands ensures our players have access to premium accommodation that supports their high-performance needs. HOME Docklands’ focus on community, flexibility, and convenience aligns perfectly with the values of the Melbourne Renegades, and we’re thrilled to offer our players such an outstanding experience.”

Melbourne Renegades WBBL|10 overseas player Alice Capsey said a strong foundation in Melbourne was crucial to performing well on the road.
“Having a comfortable, welcoming space to unwind is so important, especially with the WBBL's busy schedule. The facilities here are incredible, and it’s great to be part of a community that feels like home away from home. The girls are just down the hall, but this space allows me to escape the rigours of franchise cricket.
Christian Grahame, Head of HOME, highlighted the synergy between the two organisations:
“HOME Docklands is about creating a community where people can thrive, and we’re proud to extend this experience to the Melbourne Renegades. Providing a supportive, secure, and comfortable environment for the players aligns with our mission to deliver exceptional rental experiences. We’re excited to play a part in the team’s journey this season.”
