Great vibes! Beautifully kept and maintained. Stunning art work! Signage could be better. Response to Aniruddha: Signs into the temple, as well as to the toilet aren't clear enough. Hope that helps.

“We invite, All Hungry people, take your eating here, sumptuously. Why you should remain hungry”. – Words of the Founder Srila Prabhupada, from the 70’s, continues to occur to this day, at the Temple, despite many challenges. However, upon my visit over the past few days there does seem to be room for improvement as my experience was somewhat inconsistent and border lining on disheartening. •Upon entry to the dining hall during the described times, I often noted the Food preparations were nearly running out. I believe on the 25th (Sunday), at 1830- there appeared to be no food left. There was no information available on where attendees could go to obtain more, however I noted that some attendees obtained food at another location, which remains a mystery) •I understand that personnel serving food items are volunteers (thus not members of the temple) however it feels that these volunteers or maybe even staff can be selective in who they serve. Some of these personnel have no smile, no energy , are arrogant and don’t seem happy. They wouldn’t even respond to an acknowledgement. I noticed that some people in the queue could ask for more, as they knew the people serving. Food is meant to be distributed, not hoarded. What is the correct way to ask for more whilst in the queue. Servers should have more emotional intelligence and compassion. This is especially important if you bring visitors to “relish the kitchen religion”. •The event on Boxing day was somewhat disorganized in 40 degree heat. Lunch was only served at 4pm, and was advertised at 2pm. Queue and crowd management was a disaster. Many people where cutting in, making it difficult. Children, the elderly and desperate should have been served earlier, whilst the celebrations/processes where underway. •Staff (members in devotional attire) didn’t seem that approachable, and lacked energy. I found that it was difficult to establish a conversation or even a greeting with staff. Some staff seemed hostile too caught up to even acknowledge you.

Hare Krishna! Each visit to this place brings an incredible sense of peace and relaxation. The profound positivity that permeates this location is truly captivating. Every aspect of this place, whether it's the temple, garden, gift shop, or prasadam room, boasts remarkable positivity. Additionally, the prasadam is exceptionally delightful and comes highly recommended for tasting.

The positive feeling is surreal and amazing! The temple hosts are very helpful and guide well. Do download their application "ISKCON Melbourne" and book an appointment, as an appointment is mandatory (it's predominantly required for contact tracing).

It is a good place and very near to the beach. Please visit with your family and taste the delicious Prasad if possible.

Very peaceful, loved visiting here. The prasad they serve is definitely the best Indian food in Melbourne.

🕉🛕 On the occasion of Radhashtami I and my friend visited this place for the first time. Due to the occasion, there was a big crowd inside, who were having lunch. Although we didn't see the idol since we were late and the doors to the place of worship had been closed, we did have a good meal. It was extremely well prepared, with unlimited refills. We also helped out a bit towards the end. It was nice.

My first visit. Arrived at 12:15, sat in the prayer hall with maybe 30 others. Sufficient space. Reasonably enthusiastic Bajan session was on. The Aarti was at 12:30, continued on till 13:00. Then you make your way to the first floor hall for Prasad lunch. Not very exciting veg food, but it's Prasad. and free. Thanks 🙏 There's no seating, most people sat on the floor, others walked out to the garden. After, stroll through the tiny gift store. And, dodge the guy selling books on the way out. 1Hr free parking right outside. It was a good Bajan session and an hour spent well. The food could have been served with a smile rather than a "Hurry up, keep moving". Will be back, maybe just do the 30 min Aarti session next time

Hare Krishna, Hare Rama! Love coming to this temple, thank God for the opportunity. Hey Ram, please bless all of us so that we can come here and be blessed with your divine darshans🙏🙏

A horrible experience. Extremely crowded, and managed incredibly badly. Zero crowd etiquette. Lots of pushing and pulling family members through massive crowds. Zero civic consciousness. There are other people crammed in the same space. It’s a reality. One can’t pretend that’s not happening and just pull someone because you want to stay together as a family. It’s one building and everyone is moving in the same direction for darshan. Nobody’s getting lost. It only holds up the queue and increases risk of injury. Additionally- terrible management of crowd space by ISKCON. People were waiting outside in a massive queue in the rain in winter, without their shoes. Honestly, I don’t think Krishna cares as much about your shoe-wearing as the organizers do. The queue within the building was managed very badly, lots of space squeezing for no reason. It’s a big area, and crowd movement could’ve been co-ordinated better. Lastly: while there’s free Prasad outside, there’s massive overcharging going on inside. 20 bucks for 2 gulab jamuns 1 rasgulla 1 pastry and some chips. Seriously. Not to mention all the puja fees. Some of that money could be put to hiring a third party crowd coordinator. Never again.

Hare Krishna temple is a place, not just for eating and sleeping but to create a base with the knowledge to fight Maya. Reading 1000's of books and associating with devotees and loving everyone with no expectation. With a constant service attitude towards Krishna and his devotees. Sad to say i have to leave this place but, Krishna resides in the heart. So let's create a pilgrimage wherever we go. A place to taste, understand and experience true spirituality. Soon will visit again.

Most amazing, beautiful deities and temple. Immaculatly clean and wonderful spiritual atmosphere. During arati, kirtan is always going on and prasadam, tasty food is served three times a day for everyone. Apart from this, some snacks are always served. A must visit temple for all who love Lord Krishna. There is also small well maintained garden, water fountain and tables to sit and relax.

It was our privilege to make a visit to ISKCON during our recent visit to Melbourne in the evening. Had a nice darshan of the Lords, listened to pravachana and had sumptuous prasadam. Premises was well maintained and garden area was beautiful too. Felt blessed.

It's very pleasant and beautiful area good atmosphere and feel like India people and pandith ji very friendly talking one of my memorable place must visit

Calm and peaceful. They serve prasadam/ lunch every day in 1st floor, good and tasty.

One of best temples in melbourne. It is so peaceful and holy, vibration is so positive and energy boosting. Hare Krishna ❤️

It is a place of worship but everyone regardless of their faith of choice is welcome to come enjoy the prayers and free feast as part of the service.

It feels amazing to visit temple in a different country. I was late when i visited hence unfortunately could not enter in praying area, but still i was offered prasad. Temple doors are open only inside there is a time to visit god is specific. Rest all is accesible.

I have been there couple of time and took my child first time on Sunday. For prasad they ask people to stand in a queue and serve few people from back door while others wait in queue for 30/40mins. When my child saw this and she asked why those people are getting served and eating while other lined up + since food get over few just didn't get any.. I had no answer to it. I asked a person from the kitchen the same and he said I don't know from where they are getting it. I don't understand what they are trying to portray, partiality in temple. Not a place to go

It's one of the best place in Melbourne! If you need a place to calm yourself , please go there. Shhhh, listen they offer the finger licking veg food.

Look my video and images ...... rathayatra 2019 at Kolkata park Street mela prangan of iskon .. All 3 chariots with jagganath balaram subhadra came here for 7 days vacation and will return back to their house after 7 days at ultarath

Very nice place, I went during Krishna janmastami this year

One of the best place in Melbourne! No place can match the energy of this place. Atmosphere and the people there were kind and polite.

Located at a very nice place - in a residential area just 350 metres away from the sea shore. Very peaceful. I had the opportunity to visit the temple during late evening and have the prasad. Parking should not be a problem unless there is some large gathering. One can also reach here by taking route number 1 tram, it would be 500 metres from the last station

Really good experience. Such a calm and positive place

Very nice place, We have seen evening aarti , & had prasadam 🙏.

Hare Krishna 💗

Lovely place, very welcoming. Stop in, say hi, join them for a meal, volunteer if you’re up for it. Good for all people to know that there’s such a safe community nearby.

A serene place to realise one self. Aarti times and prayer song makes you to feel divine. The break,fast lunch, prasadams are offered after Aarti, free of cost for all. Highly disciplined volunteers rendering a good service.

Find the inner peace here. #HareKrishna

A Temple spreading the ideas of Krishnaism among devotees, this is absolutely marvelous to be there. Chanting Hare Krishna mantra with all presents gives you feeling of oneness. Excellent quality of daily prasadam is served here. Last month a new Temple wonderfully built has been opened to public at Mayapur, ISKCON HQ in India . With more than 250 Centre's spread all over the world, it is the Blessing of Lord Krishna.

Best to check temple aarti times so that you are able to take your kids for the temple visit first and then have your prasad

Divine place, had Prasadam also visited on Friday evening.

Deep to my heart... can't express the peace I get when I go there... There's something that every week induces me to visit this temple. The ambience of the temple is amazing ❤️🧿!!!

Beautiful Krishna temple in the town. Very peaceful place. Highly engaged in many versatile noble activities. Location is also beautiful. One of the thing to keep in mind is most of the parking space nearby are 1P parking only. And also the temple would be open the whole day, but darshana timings are different than it. For darshana, please consider the darshana timings while planning a visit here.

Really enjoyed the Sunday evening meditation session. A beautiful and uplifting experience. The vegan feast was also very delicious. A lovely group of people.

everything good except the people they got at front to sell their books. Why are they so hell bent on selling something. Quite scary tbh.

Best experience. Really peaceful environment and prasadam was lovely. Thank you so much.Hare Krishna
