Golden Pebble Hotel Shuttles

Cozily cornered in Melbourne’s eastern suburb of Wantirna, the Golden Pebble Hotel offers premium perks at a modest price. Showcasing a modernist exterior complimented by likewise quarters, the hotel is great for both family vacations and business trips, each room coming with wicker accents and cozy futons, with suites adding large layouts and kitchenettes. Free Wi-Fi and a 24-hour gym are also available to each guest, while an authentic Chinese restaurant provides a minimalist dining experience alongside room service. A few meeting rooms also make the space business friendly, although public transportation is limited for those looking to get to nearby event venues. Book a private lift to make things easy, choosing between intimate sedans or SUVS to have more control, or going with a few meet-and-greet services such as taxis and local personal drivers for convenient drop offs to Melbourne Airport.

A silent oasis surrounded by neighborhood greenery, where the hotel lacks in easy access to downtown it more than gains in quietude. Look forward to an afternoon with the outdoors, either by walking along the greenbelt directly behind the hotel that leads to the Westfield Knox shopping mall, or by heading toward the HE Parker Reserve for quieter trails hugging Dandenong Creek and leading toward other relaxes oases such as JW Manson Reserve. For something much more immersive, get lost in the lush tropics of Dandenong Ranges National Park, a relaxed space home to colorful birds and rushing waterfalls, not to mention rewarding views of vast unused terrain from SkyHigh Mount Dandenong. Enjoy the evening with some place to chat over all the sights afterward, either crossing Stud Road for American-style eats at Knox Club or by delving into the hotel’s own Favorite Kitchen for classic Chinese.
