These days Mentone has truly come into its own, transforming into a residential haven that appeals equally to ocean-loving millennials, growing families and comfortable retirees. An abundance of sporting groups, parks and playgrounds – not to mention the beach – mean the outdoors are a way of life here, while a lively main strip offers plenty of restaurants, cafés, bakeries, boutiques and grocers that make Mentone so visit-worthy.
Whenever you need it, you’ll find peace and quiet here, but there are also sparks of nightlife, you just need to know where to look. Either way, Mentone’s direct neighbours of Cheltenham and Mordialloc mean that a huge, multi-storey shopping centre and a buzzy bar are never far away.
