Belgrave Heights

Belgrave Heights is a SUB AREA in Melbourne, Victoria.

Nestled in the lush Dandenong Ranges, Belgrave Heights is a serene hamlet that feels a world away from Melbourne’s bustle, yet lies just 40km east of the city. This leafy enclave (pop. 1,329) is a gateway to towering mountain ash forests, fern-filled gullies, and the iconic Puffing Billy steam railway. Wander along gentle walking trails like the Sherbrooke Forest walk, where lyrebirds mimic the sounds around you, or cycle through winding roads lined with stunning native gardens. The nearby Belgrave village buzzes with artisan bakeries, bookshops, and weekend markets, while the historic Puffing Billy chugs from Belgrave Station through the hills — a must-do for all ages. In autumn, the deciduous trees blaze with colour; in spring, the air is sweet with blossom. For a quiet escape, stay in a cozy bed-and-breakfast tucked among the trees, then warm up with a Devonshire tea at a local tearoom. Belgrave Heights offers a perfect blend of nature, nostalgia, and community charm, ideal for families, couples, and solo travellers seeking tranquility.
