The thriving suburbs of Manor Lakes and nearby Wyndham Vale are lucky to get easy access to its newest asset, Manor Lakes Central, where families and kids can enjoy shopping in a place with plenty of what they need.
Home to Kmart, Coles, Best & Less and Anytime Fitness, the centre also has more than 35 specialty stores that include fresh produce, cafes, restaurants, takeaway shops, and variety stores, to name a few.
There’s lots of buzz around the place now that it’s re-opening, with new shops regularly joining ‘the family’.

Fab facilities
One is the amazing outdoor playground, with a rock climbing wall, a vibrant mural, and activity stations. This is all due to open this Friday, November 20. Shaded picnic tables invite relaxation after a hard day shopping, and a disability swing means no one misses out.
There’s an indoor playground scheduled to open just before Christmas as well – located between Kmart and Best & Less – so kids are spoilt for choice.
Parents will appreciate the state-of-the-art facilities just for them, where they can feed and change bub amid the peaceful, hygienically clean surroundings.
And community groups and not-for-profit organisations will find the fully equipped Community Room an absolute boon, due to open early next year.
As well as the traders featured on the opposite page, Manor Lakes Central has Big Daddy’s acres of fresh produce, and the One Star Variety store to put some fun under the Christmas tree. Liquorland and Cellarbrations are on board as well.
An important piece of the jigsaw is easy parking – and, yes, there’s plenty.
