King of the North

It's a little bit different

High Street Northcote is one of Melbourne’s most dynamic & creative locations, with a history spanning 150 years.

Northcote lives and breathes the buzz. It’s a community as diverse as the architecture creating it. However, the one thing that all of Northcote has in common is a strong sense of social place. From iconic cafes like the Cornerstone of Northcote, Field black and Estelle to new and innovative hot spots - Tinker and Bicycle Thieves - there is plenty to choose from with many welcoming dogs or offering quirky children’s play spaces. Oh and coffee. Plenty of excellent, award-winning coffee.
