The F1 exhibition was a excellent afternoon especially as it started raining.

My first go to place in Melbourne. Loved it. Sale is on for everytime but the closing time is early at 6pm. And also they start winding up at 5:30pm. Must recommend this place to everyone as every one who are living in Melbourne or Sydney already know this place. Many brands are there either big or small at reasonable rates including CK, MK, COACH.AThey have food court at ground floor only so 😋stay hydrated eat and shop.

Was here during the Black friday sales, crowds can getting pretty crazy but the deals were 100% worth the wait. Many brand options and good bargins if you are able to find them. Would advise to come first thing they open so that you will have the full range of access to all the items that are on sale.

A place to find great bargains. Wide range of big brands outlet to be found here. One main issue is the expensive carpark but with a purchase you receive a 50% discount. DFO if close to South warf restaurants and walk by the river. This place is super busy on boxing day so try to avoid on that day.

Easy walking round this shopping centre to find loads of bargains from branded retailers that also has a great food court and homewares sections. Would appreciate some seating close to the amenities though.

It's always a great place to shop and to visit when in Melbourne. It's a plus that it's close to the city center and around 15 minutes away (including a 5 minute walk) via the city tram. Uber and cab accessible. Lots of dining options inside the mall and even outside along the the wharf.

DFO is always fun for a bargain hunt! The Adidas outlet was a standout with some seriously good discounts, scored some great gear for way less than usual. Worth popping in if you’re nearby.

DFO South Wharf is a great shopping destination, especially during the Christmas season and Boxing Day sales, but it’s important to go in with the right expectations. The range of outlet stores is excellent, with popular brands across clothing, sportswear, shoes, and accessories, making it a strong choice if you’re hunting for discounts and end-of-year deals. During Boxing Day and the Christmas holiday period, the discounts are genuinely good. Many stores offer significant markdowns, and if you’re patient and willing to browse, you can find some real bargains. It’s particularly good for sports brands and casual wear. That said, not every store has deep discounts, so it’s worth checking multiple shops rather than buying quickly. Crowds are the biggest factor to consider. During peak times—especially late morning to afternoon on Boxing Day—the place gets extremely busy. Walkways can feel crowded, fitting rooms have long queues, and popular stores can feel chaotic. If you don’t enjoy crowds, this can be overwhelming. The best time to visit during the sales period is early in the morning, ideally right when it opens, or later in the evening if stores are still operating. Weekdays after Boxing Day are also slightly calmer compared to the actual holiday dates. Facilities are good, with plenty of food options nearby at South Wharf and along the Yarra River, which is perfect for taking a break after shopping. The location is convenient, with easy tram access and a pleasant waterfront area to relax once you’re done. Overall, DFO South Wharf is worth visiting during Christmas and Boxing Day sales if you’re focused on bargains and can handle large crowds. Go early, plan ahead, and be prepared for a busy but rewarding shopping experience.
