Balwyn is a desirable and exclusive suburb of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. The suburb is 6 miles (10 km) from the central business district of the city. Known for its tree-lined and leafy streets, Balwyn offers high-quality accommodation in a quieter area, but close to the city itself. Of interest is the Reid Estate, which is heritage protected and hosts a series of beautiful, interwar mansions. A visit to the Maranoa Gardens is essential, as this native garden was developed by residents. The suburb is served by both the 109 tram line and the 304 bus, giving easy access to other areas of the city. Balwyn offers a small range of shops, as well as a Dominos and McDonald’s outlet. There is also a range of banks and several hairdressers and day spas. Stay in style in one of the Airbnb vacation rentals in Balwyn, Australia, listed below.
