Go West Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Went on 2 separate tours with Go-West. The first tour was with guide Margaret on the Great Ocean Road. The trip was fun and she was entertaining throughout the trip though the weather was unforgiving and she had to drive for hours. Her enthusiasm and passion as a guide is contagious and made us real...

Beinart Gallery

Art gallery

Cyrus Artlounge

Coffee shop

👍👍 Just saw the 5⭐️ reviews when we’re looking for a good coffee place after 3PM on Lygon st. Found the beautiful place, love the nice warm services from the owner couple. Plus they made very good coffee. Also, if you’re looking for something different ask for the Iranian tea, if you haven’t try one.

ONE PLANET Shop

Camping store

👍👍 Very impressed with the help I received at the One Planet shop in Little Bourke St, particularly Manu. She patiently explained and showed me all the features of the Goondie tent, nothing was too much trouble. The tent was ultimately a bit heavier and smaller than what I'm seeking, but I will defin...

Guardian Defence

Self defense school

👍👍 This place ticks all the boxes for me. Amazing trainers, amazing facility and community of students with a well structured syllabus where you learn so much.

Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV)

Mosque

👍👍 The mosque is spacious and has a peaceful and calming atmosphere. It is also very clean, and the wudu facilities are spread across three floors.

Royal Park Nature Play Playground

Playground

👍👍 Absolutely amazing spot, we could have spent all day here. Creative and interesting equipment encouraging children to use their imagination and problem solve, right down to the different paths and access points between areas. Our one year old (not yet walking) was the youngest playing, and so many p...

Westside Ale Works

Brewery

👍👍 Great small brewery bar. Tables available inside and out (in good weather). Very large selection of beers from in house and other breweries.

St Augustine Parish

Parish

👍👍 A really nice and small Church close to the Southern Cross Station. The blue stone of the chuch is quite interesting, giving it a darker look. The cross relic on top of the Altar is magnificent.

Timezone Broadmeadows

Video arcade

👍 A nice play to have fun. Friendly staffs and very helpful. Just a bit disappointed as the Avenger game machine always has some technical problems. I’ve been here twice, but the cards usually got stuck inside or cards dropped out facing downwards. Hopefully, it will get fixed, so we don’t have to was...

Brooklyn Reserve Fenced Dog Park

Dog park

👍👍 Great space with toys and good watering stations. Shade, open space for running and fetch. Area for small and elderly dogs with agility course. Separate area for large, energetic dogs. I wouldn’t say this is always followed, even though there is signage… have brought our big, energetic dogs in a num...

Distillery

👍👍 Little Lon is a distillery in the once red light district of Melbourne , and the last remaining single storey dwelling to survive in the area .

Depot Adventures - Melbourne Walking Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 If I could give 100 stars, I would. My mum and I joined the Secret Laneway Bars walking tour (3 hours, 4 bars) hosted by the very brilliant, Hugo. A Melbournian born and raised, he knows his stuff and took us to some epic local haunts. We stopped off at each bar to grab a drink and enjoy the space...
