Hawksburn Village

Hawksburn Village was always the haunt of the serious cook, with its specialty meat, fish, bread and vegetable purveyors - and then came the renaissance. Now Malvern Road also buzzes with boutiques offering splendid goodies for the home, the garden, the wardrobe and an abundance of beautiful children's wear.

Add to that a collection of trendy restaurants, friendly cafes and takeaway shops, and the food lover is still being catered for, one way or another. 

Snuggled in between Williams and Mathoura Roads, the accent is primarily on fashion, with some of the biggest names in the business, but as the Village bursts out in either direction, furniture, homewares and goodies to further enhance your lifestyle take precedence - the most special of covetable antiques finding excellent, if temporary, homes up towards Kooyong Road, where learned dealers generously share their expertise and knowledge with shoppers from all over the world.
