Gnome Village - Malvern East,VIC

Anima Sola Stunning historical mansion, open days are held every third Sunday, best to book tickets in advance. The guides conduct tours of the house every hour, but you can explore on your own. Tea room cafe in the courtyard has some lovely scones and cake.

Ritchie William Impressive park to lounge around in and enjoy watching the world go by in st kilda, with a beautiful back drop of the coastline and lunch park, with park hosts events all year round so there is always something exciting happening here, Close to public transports rest rooms and cafes bars and restaurants Would recommend

Ashlee Jayde Grattan Gardens is absolutely gorgeous and such a versatile space! We attended a Fringe Festival event here, and it had a lovely garden party vibe, complete with a cute bar setup. Beyond the festival area, the gardens extend with plenty of open space, perfect for relaxing or exploring. Despite the rainy and gloomy weather, the lights and pops of color really brought the area to life. Located in the heart of bustling Prahran, it’s surrounded by a vibrant scene with nearby cafes and restaurants, making it easy to grab a bite and then unwind in the park. If you’re visiting during the Fringe Festival, this location is a fantastic choice. There’s a circus tent set up with various performances, from Granny Bingo (which we saw) to circus acrobatics. I love that Parks Victoria supports local talent and art, and the space they create here is wonderful. There’s plenty of heating outside the tent on cooler nights, though it can feel a bit chilly inside until everyone’s settled in. Definitely check out this spot, not only for the beautiful park but also for the work they’re doing to bring Melbourne’s art scene to life!

Melbourne With Siri This is such a great spot! The kids loved the water play area, and we were so glad there’s plenty of shade around. There’s heaps to do with the big slide, climbing, sports areas, and paths for bikes and scooters. Perfect for a fun family day out!

Nara Lee Very pleasant and beautiful walking/cycling trail that spans several parks along the creek. The greenery is maintained beautifully. Definitely worth going for a more scenic exercise.

Jason Tabrett A little bit of a hidden gem on the far side of Toorak Road and not easily seen from the street! There is a large sized cricket field there, cricket nets, park bench for picnics and a fun playground for the younger children!

Yolanda A super cute and colourful place! Each bathing box has its own unique style and artwork. Perfect for photos. The best part was catching a stunning sunset over the beach. Such a relaxing and charming spot. Highly recommended for a walk and some great shots!

Paula C Came for the tour of the Grand mansion. It was a little drawn out and would have been nice if the there was a seat to sit on along the way. I was feeling weary and needed to take the weight off my legs. The lady doing the tour was very informative and it was very interesting. I loved the way they have conserved and protected this historical propriety. If you like the yesteryear and history of such a place. This is definitely worth a visit.

Sean Nairn Another of the planets that forms a scale model of the solar system, starting about a kilometre south of here and continuing north to Pluto at Port Melbourne. The size of each planet and distances between each one give a highly educational view of the vastness of our galaxy - for reference the model of the Sun is over a metre in diameter while Saturn is about 20cm across, and if you make it to Pluto it’s the size of a pinhead. The total walk stretches for about 6km and is a great way to see the beach and learn something in a couple of hours.

J R Very pleasant space, friendly, and quiet. Tennis courts, wide open grassy field for running, games, or picnicking. Plenty of shade from beautiful trees. A few benches, one picnic bench. Small childrens playground which is safely fenced because this is an off-lead park. Provision of bins, and dog poo bags.
