Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

We live in a unique village in hilly terrain near the Yarra River.
It is a residential and rural suburb 24 km north-east of central Melbourne.
It has also been named the most liveable suburb in Melbourne recently.

Warrandyte's main street follows the edge of the Yarra River, and includes several historic buildings, the shopping centre and numerous arts and crafts outlets. The well-known Potters' Cottage reception venue is nearby and a beautiful Italian restaurant and winery called Olivigna.

Warrandyte has a monthly community market and considerable affection for its historic Mechanics' Institute, the performance venue for the Warrandyte Theatre Company. There is a visitor information centre, a museum and a community centre which includes a public library.

The township is also the gateway to the Warrandyte State Park which includes an 8km riverside reserve of extending to Wonga Park, the historic Pound Bend Reserve, Longridge Park, and features such as Whipstick Gully in the former gold diggings area.

There are so many beautiful walks and scenic hikes minutes from our home.
We also have many cafes, plant nurseries and other retail opportunities ranging from everyday essentials to quirky artistry.
Many come to enjoy the country like atmosphere barely half an hour from the CBD off peak .
One can take a bus into the Melbourne CBD from a bus stop 10 minutes walk from our home .
We are also about a half hour drive from the Yarra Valley region filled with wineries and gourmet foodie trails.

Warrandyte is also a very safe community where residents are caring and kind always looking out for each other .We know you will love where we live as much as we do for the past 33 years .
