Compare 4 airports near Box Hill
For most travelers arriving in the region, Melbourne Airport (MEL) is the primary international and domestic gateway. While it is not located in Box Hill itself, it offers the most reliable, direct public transport connections via the SkyBus Eastern Express, which runs straight to the suburb. Travelers looking for the absolute shortest travel time should consider Essendon Airport (MEB), which serves primarily regional or smaller aircraft and is located in a nearby city; transport from here is quick but may require more complex local transit planning. Avalon Airport (AVV), also in a neighboring city, is a budget-focused alternative but requires significantly more time for ground transfers due to its distance. Finally, Bendigo Airport (BXG) serves the nearby city of Bendigo and is the most distant option, recommended only if your destination necessitates travel to regional Victoria. Always check your specific flight requirements, as the best choice often depends on whether you value direct transit convenience or overall travel cost.

I recently stayed at Avani Box Hill Residences and had a wonderful experience. The apartment was clean, modern, and very well-maintained, making the stay comfortable and relaxing. The front desk staff were friendly, helpful, and efficient, which made the entire check-in process smooth and hassle-free.
The location is excellent — close to shops, restaurants, and public transport, making it very convenient to get around. Overall, a great place to stay, and I’d happily return on my next visit. Highly recommended!FromUS$134

The room was decent, but for some reason, there was a wet towel in the mini-fridge. Didn't housekeeping notice that? The Wi-Fi signal in the room was also very poor. When I checked in, the room key was just tucked into a scrap piece of paper, not a proper key card sleeve, so I had no idea how to connect to the Wi-Fi.
The internal parking lot is quite spacious, but after 7 PM, it's virtually impossible to find a spot, and you have to park on the street. Luckily, they don't ticket there. What's more, an Indian woman actually knocked on my door one night asking if I had bought furniture and needed help moving it! And they didn't even provide complimentary drinking water in the room.
The hotel itself is an old building with a lot of history, and the air conditioner remote control must be at least 30 years old.
The pros are that there's a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, and it's located near Box Hill, which is predominantly Chinese, almost like a Chinatown. Many restaurants are still open from 10-11 PM, truly showcasing the hard work of the Chinese community. Plus, the prices are reasonable, and the food tastes great. The roast pork at Xiaofang Yayuan, in particular, is as good as what you'd find in Hong Kong, even better than in Shanghai.FromUS$63

Very clean rooms, comfortable bed, nice clean bathroom room could do with a freshen up maybe just a paint as the are a lot of scuff marks on walls but overall this was well worth the cheap price.
Front desk could be manned a bit more is probably my only real gripeFromUS$81
