About Elwood

Elwood is a bayside suburb in Melbourne inner south, postcode 3184, about 8 km from the CBD. Ormond Esplanade follows the foreshore and leads to Elwood Beach, a patrolled surf beach that draws swimmers and walkers year round. The main retail activity runs along Glen Huntly Road, with independent grocers, bakeries, wine bars, and cafes filling a strip popular with local residents. Elwood Canal passes through the suburb as a flood management channel that doubles as a cycling and walking route connecting to St Kilda and Brighton. The suburb is largely residential with Edwardian flats, weatherboard cottages, and brick townhouses making up most of the housing stock. Elwood has no train station of its own. The closest rail access points are St Kilda Station and Windsor Station on the Sandringham line. Tram route 3A (St Kilda Beach to East Malvern) runs through the suburb and is the main public transport link. Point Nepean Road and St Kilda Road are the main roads heading into the city. Because trains do not reach Elwood directly, taxis are the preferred option for airport trips, late night returns from the CBD, and any journey involving luggage or young children. Silver Taxi runs airport transfers from Elwood to Melbourne Airport, with fares starting from $83 to $92. To book a taxi or arrange a transfer, call 0412 456 588.
