There are now a few ways to get to Marina Getaway Apartments from Melb: (please keep in mind that there is not a sign at the front as we are privately owned !!)
1/ Using the New Eastlink - take the Thompson Road exit and go right. Just a minutes drive and you will see the shopping centre on the right. The large Cream & Red complex we are in is just after the shopping centre on the same side.
2/ Using the Nepean Hwy toward Frankston. Once you get to Carrum, there is an exit on the left hand side, going over the railway line (a sign says to Patterson Lakes) to McLeod Rd. Take this turn -( left into Station St & then left into McLeod Rd) and follow McLeod Road straight ahead. There is a United Petrol Station on the left hand side, once you get here the road turns to Thompson Rd and you will find us in the complex directly next door.
3/ Using the M1 - Coming from the airport - follow the freeway into the city - following signs to SE Suburbs. Follow the M1 (Monash Freeway) to the M420 (South Gippsland Hwy) Follow this until you come to the A780 (Westernport Fwy) follow this until you come to a round about. This roundabout is Thompson Rd. Turn right at this roundabout. Follow this along, over a small bridge and you will come to another roundabout - go straight at the roundabout and you will see the Patterson Lakes Shopping Centre on the right. Next door to this shopping Centre you will see the large red & cream colored complex.
Marina Getaway apartments are in the Palm Cove complex. It is a cream & red coloured complex right next door to the P/Lakes shopping Centre. There are large black security gates at the front entrance. When you arrive, you will need to give Julie a quick call on the mobile so we can open the gates for you as a remote control is required. (which of course will be left with you throughout your stay!!)
We are ideally situated 32kms away from Melbourne CBD - The city is very easy to get to as we are so close to numerous highways and public transport. Only 30 mins away (now with Eastlink) and then relax and unwind away from the hustle of the city.
