Yarraville 3013 - What a great little village

Yarraville



Find out everything you need to know about Yarraville from a Yarraville resident.

Yarraville is a fantastic place to live and it’s changed a lot in the last 10 years that I’ve lived in Yarraville and Seddon.  The Yarraville Cinema, The Sun Theatre Yarraville has been fully redeveloped from a very cool and grungy local into an elegant multi cinema theater that somehow hasn’t lost it’s character and charm.

The theatre symbolises much of the great change that’s been happening in Yarraville. Yarraville restaurants keep on popping up everywhere and the only shop that’s no longer a restaurant is the Hocking Stuart Yarraville real estate office.

It’s great that there are more restaurants but it seems to me that many of the locals are too busy with the kids they’ve produced after relocating from the leafy Eastern suburbs, renovating a heritage house to the highest standards and then replicating.

Much time is then spent at the Yarraville Cricket Club at Milo Cricket or getting the kids to St Augustines Yarraville on time for school.

PS if all you needed from this website is the postcode, the Yarraville Postcode is 3103

Cafe Fidma Yarraville. Well it’s really a restaurant

Cafe Fidma restaurant in Yarraville is I’m pretty sure the longest running restaurant in Yarraville. I’m not sure if at any point they really were a cafe but if it’s true it was before my time. Cafe Fidma sets a high benchmark that some of the Yarravile restaurants haven’t been able to reach. It’s not… Continue Reading

Commercial Hotel Yarraville

The Commercial Hotel Yarraville is truly one of a kind. It’s tucked into a fully commercial industrial part of Yarraville far away from the hustle bustle of the Yarraville Village but still only a 10 minute walk. I loved my first visit here do much I dragged some friends from the other side of town…. Continue Reading

Bopha Devi Yarraville

Bopha Devi Yarraville is one of the older Yarraville restaurants and it’s always packed with people looking like they’re thoroughly enjoying their meals. I haven’t been in a long time and plan to go back as soon as I can because I used to love it BC (before children) but there not much room for… Continue Reading

Luccellino – it’s pizza but not like you know it

When we’re thinking of a Yarraville restaurant for something fresh and different from what we can cook at home it’s straight to Luccellino. Although their thing is pizza it’s almost completely removed from the usual concept that it should be defined in its own category. It’s not that it’s fantastically brilliant it’s just not pizza… Continue Reading

Bull Electrical Yarraville

Bull Electrical Yarraville were recommended by a local who had some work done and were happy to pass on their details. It wasn’t that hard to get the details as the Bull Electrical Yarraville team know a thing about branding. I’m not sure where the idea came from but the highly distinctive black and green… Continue Reading

Locksmith Yarraville

If you’re locked out in the cold or just needing something simple like window locks so you can lock your windows open in summer then I reckon you might as well go with a local. If you live in Yarraville you will have to have seen the distinctive blue van drive by. I’m not sure… Continue Reading

Apple Yarraville

The guys down at the local Apple store in Yarraville do a great job servicing the area and are highly knowledgable in all things Apple. Located just a short walk over the railway line they’ll answer all your questions and order in most things Apple that they don’t already stock. Go say hi!… Continue Reading

Yarraville Yoga

When I was ‘advised’ by Trev the Yarraville Chiro that a bit of Yoga would do wonders I was more than a little sceptical. I had in my mind a lot of lycra clad yuppies emitting a lot of “Ummmmm” as they twisted into impossible and unnecessary poses. All this with a smattering of flatulence…. Continue Reading

Yarraville Zumba

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ll know that Zumba is the latest dance fitness craze that allows you to exercise and have fun all at the same time. I’m not convinced. It still seems like exercise to me. If you’re looking to check out  if it’s right for you it seems that Yarravile Fernwood… Continue Reading
