I was on my way to Jakarta from Melbourne on Qantas A330. Even though the flight was in economy, I had access to Qantas International Business Lounge in Melbourne with the OneWorld Sapphire status. Overall, it’s a decent lounge to spend some time in.

Ambience & Views
The Ambience of the Qantas International Business Lounge is amazing and actually makes a good place to relax. However, as it is located in the basement, there is no view from the lounge.
Qantas International Business Lounge Food
I have noticed how Qantas keeps refreshments at multiple locations in its lounge. If you need drinks or coffee, there are multiple locations in the lounge where you can get them.
This has both machine-made and barista-made coffee. The barista-made coffee was definitely good. Also, the lounge has a vegetarian option. However, not each item is marked; rather, a single card is placed where all the items available in the buffet are mentioned. And it is easy to get confused about what item is what. The food, however, was good, but the rice wasn’t to my liking, but that’s how they do it outside India.
Qantas International Business Lounge Shower
This lounge also has showers, so if you need to shower, you can have one.
