How to make the most of Easter in Elsternwick Village

The time of indulging in chocolates, inviting the whole family over for a feast, and participating in a fiercely competitive easter egg hunt is almost here. Or, in other words, Easter is just around the corner.
No matter how you choose to celebrate, Elsternwick Village has everything you need. From delicious chocolates to fresh produce and exciting activities, our charming precinct is the perfect place to prepare for and enjoy Easter.

Also, did you hear the rumours of a special visitor that might be hopping by…

Meet the Easter Bunny

Yes, it’s true that the Easter Bunny will be visiting Elsternwick Village! This iconic figure will be hopping all up and down the streets of the precinct, with his fairy friend right by his side. Find them and get rewarded with yummy chocolates and the chance to grab cute pics.

Be sure to follow us on Instagram @elsternwickvillage to stay updated on where the two are in Elsternwick Village. If you post any of the adorable snaps, be sure to tag us!

Bring the whole family down and make a day of it — get some brunch, hang out with the Easter Bunny, and grab the quintessential hot cross buns from Woodfrog Bakery.

Make an Easter feast to remember

Now we won’t judge you if chocolate is all you eat on Easter Day (if there’s any day to do it, it’s Easter). But if you’re looking to do something a bit more, we got you covered.

Going all out with a traditional Easter feast? Find everything you need at Diritos Quality Fruits, Trialto Meats, and Rustica Cafe Deli.

For a truly gorgeous spread, make sure you have beautiful tableware and decor as well. Head over to Linen House Outlet Elsternwick, and Dalgarno’s of Elsternwick.

You can’t forget the chocolate! For a decadent experience, get your chocolates from Alessandro Luppolo Chocolate, where they’re made from scratch with high-quality ingredients.

If you really want to stick to the theme, try the Killik Chocolate Tiki Zest Liquor or the Boatrocker Chocolate Stout from Harold’s Food and Liquor.

Compete in an Easter egg hunt

Does your family get fiercely competitive when it comes to the annual Easter egg hunt? Well, Elsternwick Village has everything you need to put on a spectacular egg hunt.

Find your chocolates at Coles, which has a wide range of small Easter egg chocolates and larger bunnies. Grab your basket to collect all your “eggs” from Hot Potatoes Super $2 Shop and Party Bazaar.

Best of luck with winning!

Find thoughtful Easter gifts

Make Easter extra (eggs-tra) special this year by showing your loved ones how much you appreciate them.

Pop a beloved photo in a frame from Nice Images and Photos for a personal touch. Or you can never go wrong with a stunning bouquet from Shady Hill Luxury Flowers.

Browse the wide range at Perfect Gifts & Homewares, or pop into Ruby’s Gifts for gorgeous African, Judaica and Australiana products.

Make the most of the Easter break

If you’re anything like us, then we’re sure you’ve been longing for this long weekend.

Curling up with a good book sounds like a dream come true. Find your next favourite read at Avenue Bookstore, and a fluffy blanket from Linen House Outlet Elsternwick.

Amp up the relaxation with a massage at Pink Lotus Thai Massage Elsternwick, where you can choose from Thai massage, oil massage, or head, neck, and back treatments.

This weekend is the perfect time to take the family out to a movie night at Classic Cinemas. Afterwards, you can head out to dinner at Toddy for modern Indian cuisine, Moc Roll for authentic Vietnamese food, or Nostimo & Co for delicious Greek flavours.

Treat yourself to a facial, a manicure, a pedicure, or all three at Beauty Beats! If you want to continue on the beauty treatment train, we recommend getting your lashes or brows done at Ibrow and Lashes.

Have a couple of drinks with friends in the cosy atmosphere of Antique Bar, where candlelight, antiques and chaise lounges come together to create the perfect ambience. If you want to pretend you’re on a European summer holiday, head over to Campanella Cucina & Bar, where you can indulge in traditional Italian wine and food in a beautiful setting.

We love a good brunch as much as the next person, and the smashed avo and bagels at Terracotta Elsternwick are something you have to go try with your friends.

Want scrumptious treats that aren’t just chocolate? Pop into Mister Baker for freshly baked pastries, cakes and sweets. Or head to Will’s Batch Ice Cream for over 50 flavours of handmade ice cream.
