Life

As a Windy Hill resident, you are ideally positioned to take advantage of all this great area has to offer.

Stroll down Napier Street to enjoy the morning paper over a latté at one of the fine cafés, buy the freshest of local and international produce, or grab a bite – breakfast until late. And a catch-up with friends after work is always a good excuse to drop into one of the fine bars for drinks and dinner.

Numerous restaurant districts dot the land scape around Windy Hill which makes a great night out easy to find – hard to decide. The cosmopolitan streets of Moonee Ponds play host to a range of cheap eats and fine dining experiences with specialist cuisines from Continental Europe to South-East Asia. Niddrie’s Keilor Road precinct has long been an Italian food-lovers’ paradise but also caters to Greek, Japanese and Thai palates amongst others. The North Essendon Shopping Village has its share of fine eateries too – particularly strong with its selection of lunchtime options from pizzas, pastas and focaccias to seafood, salads and bistro meals.

Work off the calories across the road at the local fitness centre complete with indoor pool.
