Laundry Pickup & Delivery
in Hawthorn

Hawthorn is roughly half renters — driven by Swinburne University’s student population and the apartment stock along Glenferrie Road. The share houses cluster within a few blocks of campus on streets like Wakefield, William, Henry, and Lynch, where single-fronted Victorian cottages are rented out to three or four people sharing one compact machine. Along the Glenferrie Road corridor itself, mid-rise apartment buildings are going up constantly — several developments between Burwood Road and Barkers Road have been completed or approved in the last few years, and many have European laundry cupboards rather than proper laundry rooms. Move a few blocks west toward the Yarra and it’s a different world: the Grace Park Estate on Linda Crescent and Hilda Crescent has grand Federation homes on large blocks with full laundry setups. Our residential clients here range from share houses to families in period homes — the laundry needs vary but the demand is consistent.

Glenferrie Road carries tram 16 and is effectively off-limits for stopping — clearway restrictions, tram tracks, and metered parking make it impractical. We come in from the side streets instead. The residential blocks between Glenferrie Road and Auburn Road are generally fine for parking during the day, though the streets closest to Swinburne fill up early with student cars. West of Glenferrie Road toward the Grace Park area, parking is easier — wider streets and many homes have driveways. The newer apartment buildings along Glenferrie and Burwood Roads all use intercom entry with basement parking, so include your building name and buzzer details when you book. The period homes and workers’ cottages have straightforward front-door access.
