Discover Chadstone

Chadstone is Australia’s largest shopping centre. The centre describes itself as a world-renowned destination for fashion and entertainment, attracting visitors from Australia and overseas. This puts a clear travel purpose at the heart of a visit: fashion, Australian designers and other shopping areas are part of the picture, as is entertainment. For families, this mix may influence whether Chadstone is planned as a destination in its own right or as one part of the trip. First consider whether a shopping-focused visit suits your group’s interests, or whether you would prefer to divide your time between different activities.

Shopping as a reason to visit

The free Chadstone Tourist Shuttle runs several times a day between Federation Square and Chadstone, in both directions. If Federation Square is part of your plans, you can factor in this connection for the trip to the shopping centre and the return journey. Shuttle information may change, so check the current timetable before travelling and be sure to account for the return trip as well.

The free Chadstone Tourist Shopping Passport offers more than 100 exclusive deals in categories such as luxury brands, Australian designers, men’s and women’s fashion, and homewares. Other categories are also included. It is available to visitors who live more than 50 km from Chadstone. Check in advance whether you meet this requirement, and confirm the current conditions directly with Chadstone: the range of offers and eligibility may change. The variety, from fashion and Australian design to homewares, can help you decide whether the passport suits your shopping priorities; the residency requirement also remains important.

Playgrounds and reserve facilities

Rosemary Street Reserve has a playground with benches and a drinking fountain. Jordan Reserve offers different facilities: a pavilion, an oval and synthetic cricket practice nets. The reserves differ in what they offer: Rosemary Street Reserve has a playground with benches and a drinking fountain, while Jordan Reserve has a pavilion, an oval and synthetic cricket practice nets. Facilities at both reserves may change; check them before your visit if needed.

Plan your stay around your own plans

When looking for a holiday rental in Chadstone, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. A shopping day puts the shopping centre—and the shuttle, if Federation Square is part of your plans—at the forefront. If your stay also includes a visit to a reserve, its specifically listed facilities may matter more. This way, you can compare your plans based on what you want to do there, rather than choosing accommodation separately from your itinerary. If several of these options are important, set a priority for your day and use it to guide your search for a holiday rental.
