Footscray, located just west of the City, is a multicultural community well-known for its thriving food and arts scene and a great public transport in the form of a major train station and several tram/bus routes (only 20 min on public transport to CBD). Our fully-furnished accommodation in Droop Street & Ballarat Road both provide an excellent option for students attending nearby Victoria University.
Visit Footscray and Little Saigon Markets and Nicholson Street Mall to experience a burst of authentic, specialty Vietnamese, Asian and African produce – think live seafood, the freshest fruit and vegetables, Chinese sauces and exotic condiments.
If you fancy eating out, you’ll be spoilt for choice whether it be a stylish brunch, a hearty pub meal or experience communal Ethiopian cuisine in Hopkins Street.
Footscray Community Arts Centre is renowned for its thriving multicultural arts scene with theatres, galleries and workshops and the celebrated Laneway Festival.
Nearby, a walking and cycling track runs alongside the Maribyrnong River with stunning views of the City. Or, for a different take, board the Blackbird River Cruise or relax with a barbeque in the beautiful botanical gardens of Footscray Park where you can even try your hand at fishing!
