Croydon

Croydon is close to many of Melbourne’s well-known sights. Two destinations that should be on every visitor’s to-do list is the fascinating SkyHigh Mount Dandenong and the much-loved Dandenong Ranges National Park. If time permits, be sure to also visit the National Rhododendron Gardens and the 1000 Steps Kokoda Walk.

If the sun is shining, follow the lead of the locals who know the area best and make the most of the nearby green spaces. To catch a glimpse of the native flora and fauna, set out to explore Sherbrooke Forest in Belgrave.

Hit a few balls at the Croydon Golf Club at Yering Meadows in Yering, amongst the most popular greens in the area.

If you are ready to splash some cash, browse the Glen Shopping Centre in Glen Waverley and the Doncaster Shopping Centre in Doncaster.

Finding somewhere suitable to stay within the Croydon area couldn’t be easier. The ibis Melbourne Glen Waverley, the Novotel Melbourne Glen Waverley and the Best Western Plus The Tudor-Box Hill are among the many great places to stay around here.
