Moorabbin is located 15km away from the Central Business District of Melbourne. The suburb is mainly industrial but in a fantastic location if you want to see the sights of Melbourne. Because of its location, car hire in Moorabbin is essential if you plan on exploring the big city and surrounding areas. Moorabbin is the home of some major international companies, like Coca-Cola. The residential area wasn't built until after World War II and it's a great base for those wanting to branch out and see the Metropolitan city. We highly recommend hiring a car in Moorabbin to travel further afield along the Southern Australian coastline.
Not far out of the suburb of Moorabbin are the magnificent Dandenong Ranges - after hiring a car in Moorabbin, you can leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and escape into the forest. There are unique and fascinating villages tucked away in the Dandenongs, where you'll be able to take in the culture and see some of the most amazing sights. From the viewing point on Mount Dandenong, you can see the whole of Melbourne and its suburbs, a view which is best at night. Rent a car in the Moorabbin and explore the beauty that surrounds southern Australia.
One hour's drive out of Moorabbin is the beginning of the spectacular Yarra Valley, which has some amazing views and beautiful villages. You can keep driving down the valley until you come to the country restaurant if you fancy a bit to ear, or stop and take a stroll through one of the more secluded parts of the valley. The valley is the home of the Healesville Sanctuary Wildlife Park, where you can see Tasmanian Devils. Hot air balloon rides are available for you to see the breath-taking views from above ground.
