The Golden Pebble Hotel is the top hotel in Wantirna, an eastern suburb of Melbourne with good motorway links to the airport and the city centre. We are next to the suburbs of Bayswater, Wantirna South, Boronia and Vermont. We offer an ideal base for exploring the famous Dandenong Ranges National Park with its lush ferns, dense forests and quaint villages, just over half an hour away. You can try the Caribbean Gardens and Market for a family fun day, indulge in retail therapy at Westfield Knox, one of Australia’s biggest shopping malls, and watch sport from around the world at the Knox Club.

The Knox Club dining and entertainment centre is just down the road from the Golden Pebble Hotel. Here you can find pubs and restaurants with a variety of ethnic food, sports viewing from around the world and special events, as well as function rooms.

At the Golden Pebble you are just a five-minute drive from Westfield Knox shopping centre, the third largest shopping mall in Australia. You can shop until you drop in its 350 stores. And it is set to get even bigger, with a makeover running during 2016 and 2017.

You can enjoy stunning scenery in the Dandenong Ranges by taking the Puffing Billy steam train through gullies and up slopes. There are attractions like the Aboriginal sculptures at the William Ricketts Sanctuary, and plenty of great places to eat, like the Sky High restaurant on Mount Dandenong.

Have a great family day out at the Caribbean garden and markets in Scoresby, just a 12-minute drive from the hotel. Here you will find parkland, picnic areas and Japanese gardens, a variety of rides and a bustling market.
