Altona

Altona is near a range of colorful Melbourne’s well-known sights. The Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club and HMAS Castlemaine are amongst the best places to explore here. Two other worthy points of interest within a short distance of Altona are the Scienceworks and Melbourne Planetarium and Westgate Bridge.

When it’s time to take a break from the noisy streets of Melbourne, head to one of the many nearby outdoor areas. Bring a picnic, read a book, or just listen to the birdsong at the Point Cook Coastal Park in Point Cook.

While you are in Altona, you can see the Carlton Football Club Australia rules football (AFL) team in summer at the area’s iconic Etihad Stadium. Committed sports fans can smell the liniment in the lockers rooms and peek into the inner workings of Etihad Stadium by taking a behind the scenes tour.

When you’re ready to rest your weary feet after a long day exploring the charming streets of Altona, check in to one of the area's range of bed-and-breakfast, hotel and short-stay apartment options. Check out the rooms and rates at the Punthill Williamstown, the Amawind Apartments, Williamstown, or the Quality Suites D'olive Receptions, Point Cook.
