One of the best botanic gardens I have been into.
Although the size is relatively small as compared to others, but they successfully managed to design it very well, invested in many plants as you walk in. Good on you.
The only thing I would suggest is to renovate the old toilet facilities at the main entrance.

This garden is free. You can park your car on the street for 2hours and it’s not very big. You can finish your tour within 1 hour. When I visit here it’s winter and leaves are falling. I believe it would be better if you visit here in spring.

Visited this place to take a break from driving on the way to Melbourne. But loved the park. Beautifully curated lawns, eye pleasing flowers and different children's park. Loads of park benches and surprise part is, toilets were very clean. Had a rejuvenated break from drive. Highly recommended!

A city’s botanic gardens are a good measure of its character. The Albury gardens are neat, beautiful, and well maintained. Small but totally adequate with a lovely range of trees and open grassy areas. Would be a great spot for a picnic and some lawn games.

Took a night halt at Albury on our way to Melbourne Ocenic Drive. Since we arrived early we visited the Albury Garden. It was a nice walk through the huge trees and various flowering plants of African and South Amrican origin. View huge trees with various hews. Play area for kids . Sundail, wishing well and statue worth seeing.

Upon entering the gardens, I was immediately captivated by the vibrant colours. The garden is maintained flower beds, and lush greenery all contributed to an atmosphere of tranquility and serenity.
As I strolled along the winding pathways, I was impressed by the diverse range of plant species on display. The gardens boast an extensive collection of native Australian flora, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the region. From towering eucalyptus trees to delicate wildflowers, every corner of the gardens offered a new discovery. The informative signage throughout the park provided interesting insights into the various plants, allowing visitors to deepen their botanical knowledge.

Monument Hill Parklands is a serene and well-maintained observation area that offers incredible views of Albury. The park features memorials from both World War I and II, making it a meaningful destination for military history enthusiasts. There are walking tracks throughout the park, which provide visitors with the opportunity to explore the natural surroundings while enjoying peaceful moments. Monument Hill Parklands also has restroom facilities available for visitors' convenience.
I agree, this a must visit location in Albury with the Services Memorial at its centre.
The memorial is well maintained and is a great location to look over Albury.
You can drive right to the top and enjoy the view or get some exercise done on one of the many trails around the hill.
There’s a milk bar on the way up to the summit to enjoy.

Looks very newly renovated. Fantastic job with great respect to those who have fallen 😢. Room to park as long as it's quiet. Only odd part of the design is you want to use the loo you have to walk on the road, not sure why a path wasn't built from the monument spot to the other path? View is hindered by overgrown trees.

It's a good place to be there for walking and spending some time. I reckon it could be best if there's anything more to do. A decent place, memories are attached to this place.

Monument Hill in Albury, New South Wales, is a beautiful and historic park that offers breathtaking views, lush greenery, and rich heritage. As a nature lover and history enthusiast, I recently visited Monument Hill in Albury and was captivated by its beauty and significance.
The park is located on top of a hill, offering panoramic views of the city of Albury and the surrounding countryside. The vista from the hilltop is simply stunning, with expansive views of the cityscape, the Murray River, and the distant hills. It's a perfect spot to watch the sunrise or sunset, take in the beauty of the landscape, and capture some stunning photographs.
The park is well-maintained and features well-manicured lawns, mature trees, and colorful gardens, creating a serene and picturesque ambiance. There are plenty of seating areas, picnic tables, and BBQ facilities, making it a great place for picnics, gatherings, or simply relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
One of the main attractions of Monument Hill in Albury is the War Memorial, which stands proudly at the top of the hill. The monument is a significant tribute to the fallen soldiers from the region who served in various conflicts, and it provides a solemn and reflective space for visitors to pay their respects and honor their sacrifices. The memorial is well-maintained and features plaques, statues, and flags, adding to its historical significance.

Nice view over Albury at the war memorial lookout. Clean and well kept gardens. If you are looking for a short but strenuous climb start down the bottom on Dean Street and take the path up.

Very impressive war memorial monument. Clean toilets nearby. A good walk up from the city centre
John O'Brien — Google review
Good area to visit if you stay for couple of days in Albury. You can either hike up or drive all the way up here. Parking around the Monument. Can have eye-bird view of Albury from this hill. Probably best during sunset or sunrise.
Very well maintained with toilet facility and some tables and benches for resting or picnic.
There are walks starting from this hill too but we didnt do any.
Trang Nguyen — Google review
Visited the Albury War Memorial up at Monument Hill in the afternoon, very warm there no shade at the Memorial or in the car parking area. It's a fitting Memorial to honour those who served our country, with lovely Hilltop views over Albury and surrounding areas. Has a toilet and car parks. Very well maintained with recent works in the area, you are able to drive there (a bit steep) or walk there using the paths which are well maintained. The Monument is visible from Albury also which is very nice and makes it easy to locate from the town. If you are in Albury it's a recommended visit and easy to get to.
Daniel Soccio — Google review
A really thoughtful military monument that is well worth the visit. Do yourself a healthy favour and take the walk up the hill from the township (you can drive up if walking is not an option for you). As well as the monument itself you get some great views of the Albury township and surrounds.
John Callaghan — Google review
A very peaceful, well kept and beautiful location, with some stunning views over Albury. An absolute must to visit when in the area, and especially good during sunset or sunrise. Parking is all around the monument in the centre, and there's views from all directions around the central monument, with a few steps leading down. Toilet facilities at the top of the hill too, and a wonderful place to visit.

Nestled in the Alpine Valleys wine region, Bright Brewery is a craft brewery, bar, restaurant, and bike hub that prides itself on being an independent establishment. Situated by the Ovens River, it utilizes fresh mountain water and sustainable practices to create bold beers that capture the essence of the local environment. The town of Bright offers a laid-back atmosphere with tree-lined streets and various activities such as hiking, paragliding, cozy cafes, and riverside picnics.
This place had such a great atmosphere. Right by the water park with live music playing! As a large group, we ordered the Hero Platter to share and it was amazing. My partner and I got a pizza to share and while I liked the flavour I wasn't a fan of the dough (but that's just personal preference, the pizza was still tasty).
The food took a while to come, but it did say on the ordering app there was a minimum 30 minute wait. So be prepared for that if you come on a busy day.
Overall, I really liked this place and recommend you try it if you're in the area.
Lemon L — Google review
Nice location, plenty of seating. Was very hot when we visited, and there were fans inside but none outside. They had the mist going but they turned it off at about 6pm even though it was still very hot.
Despite that the food was all very good. There were a few vegan options, including the burrito bowl (which was huge) and a burger.
Ordering was convenient as you can either order at the bar or they have a QR code menu & payment option.
Kate Mingay — Google review
Top notch service we had from our entire stay in Bright. Mathew, the supervisor, stepped it up even higher when he offered us a drink while we were waiting for our food to come out. It's not about the free drink it's the level of service you give to your customers.
They were the busiest in the whole town and still managed to deliver the best service, drinks and food. Hands down.
Great team work, guys. I was watching the speed they were all working to give great experience to their customers and it definitely doesn't go unnoticed. So thank you all at Bright Brewery.

Has always love this brewery, an iconic venue in Bright. Came to Bright again during the school holiday and they were very busy so most of the walk-in customers were arranged to seat outdoor. There were ample choices of outdoor seating but would recommend they update their outdoor heating/ insulation. The ski season/ school holiday is going to be very busy for this town and business. It will be a good investment if they can make outdoor more enjoyable.
We had some beer, cider and meals on this Monday night by ordering via QR code. My partner ordered the beef burger and he enjoyed it very much however my meal was disappointment- I had the chicken breast with sweet potato mash. The chicken was dry and sweet potato mash was plain and too much on the plate. Both of these components were not matching. I really enjoyed the beers though. The Buffalo chicken wings were very nice too. Recommend this venue

The staff were friendly and welcoming.
Food came out quickly. The HOT chips were yummy. The baled cauliflower had no heat. Would have been so much better if the cauliflower were HOT as chips also.
The pizza was good, and the Chrismont wine from Kings Valley was good. Overall a nice experience at the Bight Brewery.

Beer enthusiasts watch out!!!
An amazing wide range of Beer selection, like a kid in a candy store I was!! 😁
One of my favourite destination for a good relaxing vacation and Bright Brewery just makes it even more appealing!
Spacious indoor and outdoor seatings, especially for large group bookings!
Situated opposite a large playground for the kids and in perfect view of the little ones while the adults sip on wine or guzzle down a local favourite Bright Lager!
Food selection is wide and delicious!
So many to try! From pizza and pasta to a light salad and more!

Great atmosphere and nice outdoor area for dining. The food was good although the loaded nachos were a little unexpected (not the typical tomato based salsa/corn or beans and the chips were quite different). My partners double bacon cheeseburger was good, although the beef patty was slightly under cooked. The pale ale beer and light beer were fantastic with a slight fruity flavour. Overall, it was a good experience.

My Good Friday holiday in Bright was unexpectedly delightful, as many shops and restaurants were open, including Bright Brewery, where we decided to have lunch. Under a charming grapevine canopy, with the hints of autumn evident in the changing colours of the surrounding tree leaves. Sampling their selection, I tasted six different beers, each offering its unique flavor profile, yet it was the fifth one that truly captivated my palate. The homemade mushroom pizza was a culinary delight, boasting generous portions and delectable flavors. The entire experience was a perfect representation of a sunny afternoon well spent, exceeding our expectations and leaving us thoroughly satisfied.

Awesome craft beer in the heart of bright. Excellent location right next to the river and Howitt Park. Wide variety of craft beer styles and all very good. We are the hero board meat platter, a good size for 3 people. Sweet merchandise and lots of things for mountain biking. Great spot, make sure to book in advance

Ordered the charred carrots dish, which turned out to be a heavenly burst of taste I had never experienced before. The combination of sweet, cold charred carrots with the tangy green chili rings, the goat cheese, and the crunchy roasted almonds created a symphony of tastes on my palate. It was a culinary experience that left me in awe.
The ambiance of the place, however, had an industrial feel to it, and it was quite noisy. The service was impressively efficient and fast, ensuring that I didn't have to wait long to be served.
Goli G — Google review
The atmosphere is great, super friendly service, the beers are really good I've been a fan even before visiting. My girlfriend enjoyed the mulled cider and wine selection so plenty of options for non beer drinkers. We got a margarita pizza to share and it didn't wow me, it was fine but wasn't very memorable or anything amazing, that being said, everything else made up for it.

Excellent high country destination venue. Lots of craft beer to enjoy and chef curated culinary delights. Great for all ages and social functions. Enjoy the indoor bar/ brewery vibe or sit outside on the expansive deck and enjoy the weather and natural beauty of the area. Congrats if you are lucky enough to visit on an event weekend such as the famous dark beer fastival Darker Days.

Nice outdoor area with live music and good beers, but very disappointing food. Ordered a Nduja Pizza and the Kids Margherita Pizza. Both came with a burned base. My wife had the Beef Burger, which was okay but not worth $28.

Great food and beer. The place looks a bit commercial, but we were all pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Tacos were amazing, kids loved the pasta and the pizza was very good according to my wife. All arrived quickly and with a smile! Great selection of beers (though I only tried the amber ale, which was great).

Beers were all very good, staff were super knowledgeable and more than happy to give testers until you found something you liked, though given their quality that should not take not take long. Food was great. Table if 6 shared two pizzas and three bowls of chips and was a good portion size along with beer or two for a late afternoon lunch. If in the area and a beer drinker, bright brewery is a must do. Skip the other pubs and come here.

Lovely setting and welcome dogs. Our only problem.was that we arrived at 2.25pm by the time we sat and gave our fur baby a drink and then went to place our lunch order it was 2.31pm . Kitchen closed at 2.30pm. All we were able to have was a bowl of chips.

We finally got a chance to visit this amazing place after a year. One of the best beers in Victoria, and it also serves really good pizza!
Very quick service, and the food came hot. Loved the pizza, and the fries were tasty & chunky.
The highlight was definitely the tasting paddle ($12) that allowed us to explore their wide range of beers.
Just keep in mind that their kitchen closes at 8:30 pm. The place can also get really packed, so either book a table or be patient to wait until the friendly staff can accommodate you.
Definitely coming back again whenever we are in Bright!

Stopped by on a Thursday morning and tasted the Apricot Neipa and the American Hazy. Took a 4 pack of the Irrationally hazy oat cream with me and later tried a 'Le Monstres du Chateau' Rum & Banana Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. Great venue, friendly staff and a good food and beverage selection. My only regret is having to leave after 2.
Absolutely beautiful, relaxing, serene walking trail, easy grade, and the walking trail is all the way along the Ovens river. The sounds of the flowing river is soothing and pleasant. If you look around, you can spot some pretty and interesting plants, flowers and even little fuzzy crawlies. Loved this trail.

Absolutely wonderful walk along the beautiful Ovens River. Easy defined pathway, great for all ages, kids and dogs too. Some seating along the way. Able to just walk half way by crossing river at first bridge if you don't want to walk 4.9km loop.

Picturesque, easy walk. Family friendly (with our 3 kids under 9 years old). The first part of the walk is pram friendly, then it goes across the swing bridge and becomes gravel and uphill which was tricky with the pram. Overall a really pleasant walk, which we did twice while staying in Bright. And we rode our bikes here too!

I would like to recommend a great place that I personally love. This spot is perfect for anyone who enjoys hiking and spending time in nature. The 5 km walking trail winds through the beautiful mountains and alongside picturesque bodies of water, making for a stunning outdoor adventure.
What's more, this location is also a fantastic destination for families with children, as there are plenty of fun and engaging activities to enjoy together. Whether you're picnicking by the water, playing games, or exploring the natural surroundings, there's always something exciting to do here.

I went for nice long walk with the dog. It was peaceful and quiet without having that creepy feeling when walking on your own.

Woolshed Falls is a popular tourist attraction that offers stunning scenery and a viewing deck for visitors to enjoy. After heavy rainfall, the waterfall area becomes even more picturesque. The site includes a picnic area, ample parking, and nearby bush tracks for exploration. For those who are steady on their feet, it's possible to walk down onto the rock formation near the waterfall face. Visitors can swim or shower in the falls but should be cautious during hot summer days as temperatures can rise quickly.
This place was fantastic! Stunning scenery, easy access for all abilities to the top viewing platform. An easy walk down onto rock formation for anyone steady on their feet. Was lovely to sit around or explore the rock formations on the waterfall face. Absolutely gorgeous was to while away the hours on a sunny day.
Donna Krause — Google review
First track to the left as you're heading down Woolshed Rd. You will either have to walk it, 4x4 or bike it. It takes you to the top of the falls. You can't get to it from the other side. Great place to do nothing or walk the rocks.

Beautiful falls. When we went on a very hot weekend day, it was busy but didn't feel packed.
It's a very short walk.
Just be careful whilst walking on wet rocks, they can be slippery because of the musk.

Really easy waterfall lookout to go to as the platform is right next to the carpark. Then you can go to the top of the waterfall too, just go down the track which is not difficult at all but not accessible for wheelchairs. Wear proper hiking shoes as a caution so you can explore the top of the waterfall safely. Went when it was absolutely pumping. Probably one of the best waterfalls in this area of the state!

Woolshed Falls - So beautiful 🤩
Woolshed Falls is a stunning natural attraction located in the heart of Victoria, Australia. As soon as you arrive, you will be struck by the sheer beauty of the area, with its pristine waterfalls cascading over the rocky terrain. The sound of the water is soothing and the air is fresh and invigorating.
The walk to the falls is well-marked and relatively easy, with a clearly defined path that winds its way through the lush bushland. Along the way, you will see a variety of native flora and fauna, including kangaroos and wallabies.
When you arrive at the falls themselves, the view is simply breathtaking. The water cascades down a series of rocky steps, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's power and beauty. The surrounding cliffs and lush vegetation only add to the overall ambiance of the area.
One of the best things about Woolshed Falls is that it is relatively quiet and peaceful, with few tourists around. This means that you can enjoy the beauty of the area at your own pace, without feeling rushed or crowded.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Woolshed Falls to anyone who loves nature and outdoor activities. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply looking for a relaxing day out in nature, this beautiful attraction is sure to leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Absolutely beautiful experience. There was about 10 people there all spaced out, so it wasn't too crowded, which made the experience pleasant. We visited the Falls first, and the water was cold and beautiful, and even had a large pond for kids to play in. Afterwards, we went to the viewing point looking down at the Falls, which was also beautiful to look at, with information about the history of the Falls which was pleasant to read and learn about. Always a stopping point for us when we are passing through the area!

Visiting a few days after some reasonable rain in early summer there was plenty of water flowing, and pleasant to explore amongst the rocks, though they were slippery in parts.
Viewing of the waterfall with these shots was available for wheelchair access, though obviously a bit of a scramble and some steps to get onto the waterfall area.

A mighty popular spot with many flocking to the upper falls for a swim in the streams that make up the falls. Mighty big plummet if you get too close to the falls itself. Surprisingly, no real warning signs to speak of so be sure to pack your common sense if you decide to picnic there

Water begins at the top and makes its way to the bottom.
My theory is that gravity plays some role in this process.
Others believe it is a magical phenomenon. Who knows!
All I can say is that it would make for a great place to cool down on a toasty day and even on this cooler day was a nice place to visit.
Old Beechworth Gaol, located on Ford Street, is part of the impressive Justice Precinct listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The site was originally a government camp and later became a police reserve in 1856. Constructed of local honey-colored granite, the complex includes several historic buildings such as the former Telegraph Office, Court House, Police Station, Chinese Protectors Office, and Gold Wardens Office.
Quite an impressive tour which happens at scheduled times. Numbers are limited due to COVID at 40 people so it might be sold out if you rock up 5 minutes before the tour starts. Tickets are 18.50 and can be purchased from a small cafe which sells cakes and reasonable coffee which is a good problem if you come early. During school holidays they had tours at 11, 12 and 1 with each tour taking a little under an hour. Some info on the Kelly gang is also included.
Mathew Fedley — Google review
We joined a midday tour, had a really great guide who outlined the history on the Gaol and its life. The quirks of having a gaol that had to grow from the 1800s with bushrangers through to the late 1900s. If your in Beechworth it's worth a visit

I am only reviewing the cafe as I actually have not done the Gaol tour. It was in the middle of Covid and there was a challenge with staff and being forced to close sporadically so the range of food and cakes wasn’t standard. The food was ok but not the best. I think when Covid has passed the men range and food quality will improve. I would recommend a visit here as the grounds are spectacular and the trees and outdoor seating is relaxing and splendid.

What a fantastic experience this was, we went here for a family day outing and we had explored the other small museums that were in the vicinity. We decided to book in online which was so easy and quick and was done with a tour guide. We ended up coming on a family open day which was a fun event although not a lot was going on, it was a cute and a light event.
We went with our kids and nephew, we met out the front of the goal and listened to an informative talk about the history of the Goal, then went inside the rec yard where we learnt more about the Goal and some of the stories of the inmates. We went inside the cell blocks and the talk continued we were then given about 10mins to have a free look around the bottom floor, the top floor was not accessible due to safety regulations. But the second floor was apparently the same as the bottom floor. You don't get to go through the entire building, this is probably having a lot to do with that there are other businesses now occupying the Goal.
It certainly was an interesting experience, i would have loved to see some other parts of the building, not just the cell blocks and parts of the yard. But the whole family really enjoyed the experience.
Accessibility for aged and Disable: There are some minor steps into the goal, we had a lady with a pram, and they accommodated the mum to access the area, so I would assume that a wheelie walker or wheelchair would be accommodated for.
It can be a bit hot during the warmer months as we stood outside listening to the talk which was a little uncomfortable, but at the time we went was tolerable. Maybe on hot days they change where they do the talk.
Food and drink: I believe they have a cafe there that runs most days of the week, it seemed a permanent fixture to the place and also there is a cafe.
I would recommend coming here and do the other museums as well as they support each other in the history of Beechworth.
hope you enjoy it as much as we did. :-)

Great tour of a really cool historical site.
Daniel was our guide, and he was bloody brilliant. One his stuff, want pushy, and spoke naturally, and well.
Brilliantly preserved, this gaol is a must see for any history or Kelly enthusiast

The gaol was not open for tours when I was there. It is an amazing part of our history. Such a beautiful structure. Very eerie.

Interesting tour even though it’s a small gaol, obviously, don’t expect a massive one like in Melbourne - recommend to book in advance. It did start a little bit late, but we finished up a bit later too. You can hire a bike here, plenty of carpark around the area, there is a cafe inside and toilet..

Great place to bring the family and learn about the area and the old jails history. The tour was great and you learn about some of the history of the inmates that spent time there including Ned Kelly.

Daniel was an exceptional tour guide during our visit to Beechworth Gaol. His knowledge of the gaol's history was both informative and engaging. He brought the stories of the prisoners and the conditions they endured to life with his vivid descriptions and attention to detail. Daniel's passion for the gaol's history was evident in his delivery and he went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the group had a memorable experience. He was patient in answering all our questions and took the time to make sure we understood the complexities of the gaol's past. His enthusiasm for his job was infectious and made our visit to Beechworth Gaol all the more wonderful. We left feeling grateful for the experience and the opportunity to have had Daniel as our tour guide.

A very interesting place to visit, the tour was relatively inexpensive, with student and concession discounts. There is plenty of interesting history to see and learn about throughout the tour. There is also a nice cafe just in the courtyard for a quick bite & coffee. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in Beechworth.

Fantastic tour and lots of history and interesting stories about both the inmates and how the Gaol was built and operated, but also insight into the industry of the town etc.
Kids (8 and 10) were listening to every word and enjoyed it as well. Guide (Cleve? - sorry mate, you did say we would forget your name 😐) was great at engaging with everyone on the tour. Thank you team!

Tour was just over an hour- joined 8 minutes late with another couple rocking up just after us. Was unable to use the QR code to book as we joined late. Was told by tour guide we could pay at the cafe which wasn’t advertised at the front. Other couple who came after us wasn’t asked for their tickets or to pay so they got a free tour I guess!

When buying a ticket, I recommend doing the tour. It doesn't cost any more and the guide is very informative, a great experience to learn more on the lives of the prisoner's life. A coffee van is there while you wait...

The Old Beechworth Goal is a site to be seen with its high granite walls, which is fine stone work i must add to its razor wire on top, the Goal was opened for prisoners in 1864...
The entrance to the Beechworth Goal is located on Williams St. The building does take up a lot of land and also can be seen along Ford St and High St...
The longing question most people ask is about Edward/Ned Kelly, who did, in fact, spend some time at this Goal with his first conviction at 16 in 1870 for Actually doing nothing just receiving a stolen horse from somebody else which started his life as a bush ranger/outlaw...
Also, the prison has been home to some of Australia's most well-known bushrangers, including Joe Byne and Harry Powers. The prison also held twenty or so suspected Kelly gang riders in 1879....
Another name what some one say as a big name in crime was Carl Williams, and over the 140 years of the Beechworth Goal being in service, I could say the books would be full of names...
There is a tour that runs most days, and we were hoping to take one of these tours, but unfortunately, we missed out and run out of time in the beautiful town of Beechworth...
We did get the chance to take a small stroll around the outside, I will update my post when I get the chance to take a tour on the inside of this prison.

Our tour guide Graeme was amazing, he was very knowledgeable and had lots of great stories about the inmates and gaol.

Beechworth Historic Court House, situated on Ford Street, is an integral part of the Justice Precinct. Dating back to 1858, this impressive building complex was constructed with local honey-colored granite and includes several historic structures such as the former Telegraph Office, Police Station, Chinese Protectors Office, and Gold Wardens Office. Today, it stands as a museum showcasing Beechworth's rich history including its involvement in gold mining and World War II.
Tours run on the hour, highly recommend seeing the new Kelly Trials exhibit. Afterwards you can tour the courthouse and view the objects they have on display

If you want experience the deeper history of Beechworth, then the Court house is a great place to start. Beechworth has an amazing number of little places you can take the kids or yourself to go and have a visit to learn about Beechworth.
The court House is of course famous for its association with Ned Kelly, but it also is an amazing place to come and see a historic building, built in 1958 and was a working courthouse right up to 1989, this courthouse has been an interesting and integral part of the community just as much as the Beechworth Goal Has.
I love how you can almost access nearly every room of the courthouse minus the lady's balcony and a storeroom. But the Library happened to be our favourite room, it was filled with old law books and just had that nostalgic feel about it, the kids loved the library and the holding cells.
(They used to have an audio spill that used to play but that feature was not there anymore. It did make for a great way to experience the court room.)
The kids love being able to explore and sit where the judge and lawyers would sit and they did a little court play of their own. It was cheap to get in costing us a family of 6 $10. you could pay a bit extra for a guided tour which would probably have been great. There were souvenirs you could purchase for reasonable prices.
Accessibility: The courthouse is wheelchair friendly, and you can access most of the courthouse bar the cells I believe. The staff are welcoming and encourage all to come and take part in the history of Beechworth. Great place for kids and anyone to come and visit.

This place is fantastic! Cheap to visit. The court house is in original condition as it was on the last day is was used. Lots of interesting information to read. Ned Kellys trial began here in August 1880 before it was transferred to Melbourne. Don’t forget to go around the rear of the building where one of the old stable buildings still stand. Also the old stone lock up with would be terrible to be locked up in. The whole area is so interesting and next door is the telegraph office to visit as well.

The Courthouse is a part of Beechworth historic precinct alongside other historic buildings. It was built in 1858 and has seen many historic court hearing’s including Ned Kelly, his Mum Ellen Kelly and Elizabeth Scott and ran for 131 years. It’s very well preserved and has lots of interesting information to read and absorb. Definitely worth a visit if you are in or around Beechworth.

Fabulous old buildings in the main street opposite the Information Centre. There is a walk that you can do. Just ask in the Info Centre. These buildings all have great signs out front with info on what they were. They are all well preserved. One of the best historical streets that we have been to. This is where Ned Kelly had his first trial. Do visit the Information Centre across the road and the Bourke Museum behind the Info Centre. Beechworth is one of the best historical towns that we have visited.

am assuming due to couple of luxury hotels the beach has been really well maintained. Which is a really good point. I don't remember spending almost the entire day at any other beach but this. A beach worth visiting and spending time. Take a nice dip in the Arabian Sea. lie down on the beach get sun bathed and have yummy food on the shacks there.
p.s Our favourite shack was "Gloria". Mr Satish was a polite and very helpful host. Tried the others as well (Misha and Amish) but we found this the best. Gloria shack is between Misha and Amish, close to the beach opening of Mahindra Club.

We had a good experience and came for the scone recommendation. The scone was delicious and I had a beetroot latte (haven't seen one before and thought, why not!). They were super busy but was worth the wait on food.
Very nice to see all the animals and there were buckets of feed available to purchase. Beautiful vista from their high vantage point over the valley. 😎

We came here with a tour bus and were treated to the biggest scone I have ever seen.
We were given a talk about the farm and its history, before taking a walk to see the deer, emus and ostriches.
Quite enjoyed it, only slightly negative comment would be pricing in gift shop was a little high compared to other places.

This place is one of the few restaurants I adore. The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is brilliant and the food is so good. I come here every chance I get. The merch is also very cute.
I had a hot chocolate with an Emu pie, which came with baked potatoes, gravy and salad. I don't normally like salad, but I couldn't stop eating this one. The emu pie was also mouth watering. They also have mini golf, animal feeding, a gift shop and a very old shack that they have preserved, which you can walk into. You can also buy frozen Emu meat too.

Yet another example of a fantasticl family friendly spot to visit in the beautiful Noth East Victoria. A beautiful restaurant catering to most people quite well. A nice selection to choose from within a restaurant boasting such a gorgeous panoramic views.
Once you've eaten, why not pay a quick round of mini golf before taking a leisurely stroll to see the beautiful animals on-site, including stag, llamas, goats, chickens, emus & ostrich.
A must do on upht list when visiting this unique part of the world.

All Saints Estate, established in 1864 at Wahgunyah, is a historic Murray River winery with a new cellar door and two upcoming restaurants. The estate features a crenellated folly surrounded by formal English gardens and offers an extensive selection of wines, including the renowned museum-class muscat made from 100-year-old liqueur.

Have had numerous tastings throughout the years at All Saints and can say without a shadow of a doubt my recent ones with an employee named Steve was by far the best and most memorable!
He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable and made my family and I feel like we were old friends.
His recommendations were on point and he took the time to explain not only the history behind each wine but also All Saints Estate as a whole.
The only negative I can say about my interaction is that his dad jokes only made me laugh and my dad felt like he had met his match
Thank you for making it such a great day out for my elderly parents and me.

Myself and 40 guest had a fantastic experience at All Saints Winery for my 40th Birthday. We enjoyed a 2-course meal and were impressed by the amazing wines that were paired to our menu. The service we received was 10/10, and the venue received an "A+." Overall, the tasting room and restaurant has a High-end feel and well worth a visit. I would highly recommend this winery to anybody visiting or show casing a small or large event.

We had our wedding at All Saints Estate in March 2022 and it was the perfect venue. From the moment our guests drove down the beautiful driveway lined with trees until you reach the castle with the beautifully kept gardens they were in awe at the venue. The food was amazing and the wine was even better. The staff went above and beyond for us the entire time, especially our events manager Milly. She was just incredible to deal with and helped us tackle every issue we had through the entire process. She met with us multiple times no matter what and really helped put us at ease.
Our guests loved our wedding so much and every single guest complimented us on the venue. Cannot thank All Saints enough for making our day extra special.

An amazing place with an amazing vibe. Came here for a wedding. I definitely recommend this place for weddings around 100 people give or take.
So my partner and I arrived about 30 minutes earlier to the posted time of 4pm to the wedding and we were worried we would goto.. say, like the wrong location at the venue.
We saw the entrance and drove in through the gates and was instantly blown away by a 300m straight driveway lined with tall trees forming an arch way right down to the end where you could see... a castle! Okay, not quite a castle but it had the roof shape like one, and the inside was a lot different to that of a castle.
We parked in a nice parking lot and already got a glimpse of what looked equally, if not better then any google photos of the place. So that's the panoramic view of vineyards, a rose garden where the wedding was roctake place, the larger building which boasted large rooms for brewing wine, a cellar door for wine tasting and purchasing their wine, I bought a few bottles for when we returned home.
But what tied all this together was a garden with hedges stone paths and brick pathways and a large fountain, similar to the one in the Friends intro.
We went and purchased wine, and the staff are amazing, kind and helpful. We put the bag of wines in the car then walked to the rose garden for the ceremony. After which we had drinks in the garden and proceeded to the wedding reception located in the larger building.
We were seated at round tables and then went through the night with a 3 course meal. Simply divine, then it was dancing. Then we left.
This place is perfect. You leave feeling like wow, and it makes the best memories one could ever have when reflecting on one's truly best day in their life. A wedding in a perfect location.
Chris Manning — Google review
Wines Excellent and foods amazing but unfortunately, the employees in the winery need to be retrained.
The location is beautiful, but the staff attitude, especially in the wine tasting room, is abhorrent.
I watched as non coloured individuals were served without an issue. However, in the middle of my tasting I was questioned if I was aware that the tasting needs to be paid for.
When we expressed our interest in purchasing a couple bottles of Moscato, we were asked if we were going to "purchase it just like that". As if we were unaware that we would need to spend money at this venue.
To make this clear, we are people of colour and felt as though we were treated differently because of the way we looked.
I have never felt this racially profiled. We are coming into 2024, and to experience this attitude, it was embarrassing and unacceptable.
Unfortunately, my family and I have decided never to attend this venue again due to our treatment. I hope our review is taken seriously and actioned so that other people who look like us do not have to be treated like we were.
We are coming into 2024. People are people and our money is as good as someone with white skin

Partner and I stopped in for breakfast and whiskey tasting.
Breakfast consisted of a generous amount of food on the 'big breakie' the bacon was thick and crispy! The tomato relish and caramelised whiskey onion gave great contrasting flavours to the meal.
And now to the whiskey tasting. There was a great selection of whiskey for. Would highly recommend the Bosque Verde!

What an amazing start to the day! I had booked the Distillery tour for two. Our guide Paul (I hope I got that right) was utterly amazing! He had a passion for his profession and translated it well too my wife and I. From the history of the mill and how the business was started is truly amazing, from walking through the distillery to seeing the product aging to the various samplings, of staple lines and of limited runs we had an absolute ball. We were given a very special pre release from Paul after he'd listened to our ernest input of needing to secure one of the limited barreled whisky's, on his tour. We were so privileged! We bought three bottles, and will make Corowa a staple in our drinks cabinet. But back to the tour! Paul and the staff are bloody awesome!

Had lunch here with my boys, restaurant/Cafe was absolutely packed, we were given the choice of inside or outside, we decided inside as it was very hot day, waitress showed us to our table and we had a browse of the menus, the order line was huge and I figured I'd be waiting for ages to place our orders but our waitress saw our predicament and took our order at the table, very nice of her too💙.
Table water is provided upon arrival which you don't see a lot of these days either. Food was fast arriving and very very nice, my Nashville Chicken burger had char grilled corn cernals in it which was quite unique, never had that before but was really good.
Price was quite reasonable too, we had a browse in the chocolate and licorice shop afterwards and bought some goodies. A lovely day, 5 stars for these guys

Great little town. Check out the Whiskey and Chocolate Factory for a whisky tasting … well informed and professional. We also had a lunch meal but it was pretty ordinary and overpriced ( taking advantage of the vast number of tourists on the day?).

My grandparents and I went here for a nice coffee on a extremely hot day. I had an almond ice chocolate with cream on top that was $7.50, and a orange and poppyseed cake. The ice chocolate was absolutely amazing, full of rich chocolate, that you could tell was probably made from their own local chocolate, and the ice cream and cream was thick and very high quality. There was a hint of a sort of spice in the ice chocolate, unsure what of, but it gave such a good texture to the ice chocolate. Orange and poppyseed is not my favourite flavour of cake, but this was so light and fluffy, and combined with the delicious icing with orange flakes on top, and the silky cream provided, made it a delicious treat in the mouth. The cake itself was a tiny bit dry, but again, the cream and icing solved that issue. Staff were lovely and inviting, and very accommodating. We sat in the outside area under the shade, and it was lovely. Afterwards, we visited their chocolate shop, and watch a staff member make the chocolate to sell. Overall a lovely experience, and a hot tourist and cafe destination for anyone residing in or passing through Corowa

Fancy a coffee?
Fancy one of the best made and tasting coffes ever? So nice even sugarheads like me would drink it without sugar because its just perfect?
This is the place.
Lunches, and cakes are on the menu, let alone the whiskey and chocolates!
If you are planning a function, and need a place that ticks all the boxes... this is it.
When you drive in town, look for the silos.. the place is the old mill right next door.
Plenty of off street undercover parking, wheelchair access is a breeze (aside from the function room) and in the toilets, the ladies features a bowl of sanitary items. (That thoughtfull thing is worth five stars alone)

When we mentioned this at the cellar door, Barry put us to rights by pouring tastes of the entire Campbell’s line up. To be sure, the muscats remain excellent. The surprise is particularly in the robust red offerings. All are solid contenders in their category and a number are excellent. The premium Shiraz and durif wines should not be missed.
Our thanks to Barry for both the lovely platter and the instructive wine experience. We look forward to our next visit.

Reminiscent after 40 year absence this fantastic family vineyard is world class. The cellar door and garden surrounds are very comfortable, calm, special and welcoming. Even by motorbike from Hobart it is worth the trip.

Blown away by the delicious breadth and depth of the wines on offer, as well as the expert knowledge of Ange who looked after us! Such a beautiful winery and make sure you enjoy the cheese too!

I have been visiting Campbells winery for almost 40 years because I love the great range of wonderful wines, the friendly knowledgeable staff and the relaxing setting. I particularly enjoy the iconic Bobbie Burns and Brothers Shirazs as well as the special Durif , Sixties Block and fantastic range of fortified wines.

The wine tasting of wines that are a step above the ordinary, includiing whites, reds and fortifieds and delicious cheese platter we had for lunch was perfect. The ladies who looked after us couldn't have been more knowledgable or friendly. Would highly recommend you make the effort to give Campbells Wines Rutherglen a try. I'm sure you'll won't regret it.

Warm welcome. I learned more in my half hour at Campbells than I had all day touring the area. The Merchant Prince is the best Muscats on the planet and hast to be tasted to be believed.
The grounds are really beautiful.

Visited the cellar door on Thursday afternoon and there was a beautiful roaring fireplace which was a lovely touch, being in the middle of winter. There is an extensive wine list which includes aromatic white wines, dry red wines and sweet fortified wines. It was cold outside on my visit, but it looks like there is heaps of outdoor seating surrounded by rose bushes and vines which would get used in the warmer months.
Katrina Wilson — Google review
In all honesty, the 5 is for the grounds, the staff (Ange) and the pure generosity of the tastings! There are about 30 wines on the tasting menu and the girls are up for you trying any and all without judgement. There weren’t too many I liked out of the 12 or so I tried but just cannot fault the experience. We left with 3 bottles of Amelie which is a beautiful light red, a great picnic wine! We also took a gerwutz and a bottle of Muscat but none of the reds appealed to me as a red drinker.

Just stopped in at Milawa cheese Factory, such a beautiful spot, with a huge covered/outdoor space for coffees or a meal. Lots of cheese to taste & a gorgeous giftshop.
5 stars for sure! 🙂🙂🙂

Although we arrived at Milawa Cheese Factory a bit late in the day, we still had a delightful experience. While we missed out on some offerings due to timing such a picnic on the grounds, the shop boasted a tempting array of meats, cheeses, and condiments for us to take home. The beautiful day added to the ambiance, making it a worthwhile stop. I highly recommend dropping in when in Milawa.

Fab little bolthole for some unique cheeses! They do tastings...we arrived 20mins before closing and still managed to sample 3. The goat cheese camembert was stand-out...it was excellent warmed in the oven too ! They have a vast array of pickles and preserves to match with your cheeses and it looked like they did a build-your-own picnic for the daytime

Came here as part of the Tour de Vine’s Self-Guided Cycling Tours from Beechworth. They will set up the cheese board for you, which has a great selection of different types of cheeses, crackers & grapes.
There is a wine shop right next door, so you can also do some wine tasting.

We visited again last week on our drive pass. As with our previous visits, it was certainly worth visiting. Lovely range of cheese and local produce. We sampled a few of their goat cheeses before purchasing. Their cafe seem to have had a lovely makeover, beautifully set up, comfortable chairs, excellent tea & coffee.

Absolutely delightful place to have a glass of wine and a delicious cheese platter. Eclectic selection of comfy sofas on a huge patio outside.Nice and dog friendly. Just make sure to hedge your bets on the cheese - not everyone likes all the strong tastes that are on offer :-)
Andreas Ludwig — Google review
The website says it's open until 5, but cheese tasting finishes at 4. We were able to sneak in a very quick tasting when we arrived at 4, but it was disappointingly short.
Much of the cheese we bought was close to the use by date and not as fresh as those we had tasted. This applied to the cheese which had been marked down in price and those of full price.
The duck terrine was dry and didn't taste nice. We threw it out.
This is the second time we have been there and the quality issues were present on both occasions.
However our previous cheese tasting had been a revelation. We took our time truly tasting the differences between each of the different cheeses and learning how to taste properly.

Today I visited to Milawa to go to the aptly named Milawa Cheese Factory. This is a great example as to how you can convert a cheese factory into a successful tourist destination
It has a lovely cafe, a cheese shop where you can sample their wares (the aged blue
vein particularly tickled my palate) and a cellar door offering local wines.
Sadly their cheese platter was far too large for one and would not travel well in a car on a hot day so in this instance I did not buy anything. Certainly a nice place to visit though...
Don Tadixz — Google review
Nice self guided take away cheese tasting platter meant we didn't have to book. And with the large grassed area out the front, we were able to sit and enjoy the cheese in the shade of a tree before going back to buy our favourites.
Winery, cafe and gift shop were all there too so we stayed for lunch and a wine tasting.
A second visit had me trying the guided tasting and another lunch inside the cafe. Warm, great atmosphere, good music played loud enough to hear, but no two loud that you couldn't easily converse. Food was tasty and we headed back to the shop for some of the cheese we had tasted.
What a great winery. The grounds are beautiful. Friendly staff. I enjoyed reading the history about the family. Toilets clean and a lovely restaurant. We camped at their campsite opposite and it was so nice.
Rose-Anne M — Google review
Wine tasting was $5 for 5 wines and there’s no option to taste individual wine before purchase. Beautiful winery grounds with clean toilets but didn’t stay long as the restaurant was fully booked out.
Their bestseller Prosecco are probably cheaper to buy from Dan Murphy’s than the cellar door.

Our visit to Brown Brothers Winery was nothing short of fantastic.
Despite being unable to explore the vineyards, the immaculate estate and sunny weather set a delightful ambiance. We indulged in a wonderful wine tasting experience at the cellars, savoring an exquisite selection of wines.
Although the restaurant was understaffed and unable to accommodate bookings, the service remained commendable, with the waitress candidly informing us of the situation. We still relished in a diverse menu of grazing options, each dish complementing the wines, lemonade, and strong coffee.
The beauty of the estate added to the overall charm, making it a highly recommended destination for a memorable day out with family.

Aahhh Browns Brothers! Our fourth visit and there are still new wines to taste. We booked a wine tasting for $15 each and had 45mins with Rose, our wine consultant, enjoying old favourites and many new ones with explanations of how they were made etc. The children had a lounge to play their Ipads and colour in. All in all, a great way to indulge in some wine tasting! They have something for every palate! The restaurant was fully booked for lunch, so book days in advance, but we had a coffee and the kids played in the enclosed playground. A relaxing afternoon!

REVIEW:
Presentation of Brown Brothers was absolutely stunning. The colours were vibrant to add interest, and definitely made the dishes more enjoyable to eat. If it looks good... there's a high chance it'll taste good!
It did hit the peak for the second entrees. Lots of combinations I don't usually get, and they've incorporated stracciatella in their menu which, in my opinion, is an understated refreshing flavour that is trending in Modern Australian cuisine at the moment. I've liked some of their interesting flavour combinations such as garden radish and the witloof which I've never had this way before!!
Their mains were a little bit of a let down for me. They weren't as excited as the entrees, and they served sous vide chicken which is a personal hate of mine. My friends enjoyed it though for its perfect white meat, but I find all "boiled" chicken bland. Looking @u haianese chicken.
Brown brothers focus on sustainability and reusing their ingredients. Love the stories of how they source local, and commit to minimal waste.
If it's not too out of the way, Brown Browners with their friendly service (and warm heaters!) is decent.

We had lunch at Brown’s Winery yesterday. The food was absolutely amazing.
The waitress introduced herself very professionally with great knowledge and expertise.
The food was a fantasy of flavours. Every dish was superb and beautifully presented. The tart was exquisitely delicate and fine. I don’t know how the chef did it.. I wanted to pair the wine so the waitress explained the wines and suggested the most appropriate. A sensational eating feast of delicious, fresh, sustainable vegetables and herbs grown in Brown’s garden, along with quail, chicken, beef etc cooked in a way I haven’t experienced before. Best lunch I have ever had, so I don’t need to travel to Melbourne to find really delicious food! It is found at Brown’s Winery. .
A truly memorable day. Thanks to the chef and waitress.

Just experienced my first wine tasting ever, and couldn’t have picked a better winery than Brown Brothers! My partner & I did the premium wine tasting and enjoyed a vast variety of wines, served to us by Mark.
Mark had a great amount of knowledge and shared with us the history and culture of each wine we tried. We could not have had better service, thanks Mark! (I told myself I’d only buy 2 wines, but I left with 4!!)
Thank you Brown Brothers! I can’t wait to come again 🍷

An absolute adorable gem!
Drove up especially to try the set lunch menu and absolutely loved it!
Took the pups for a lazy day out and they enjoyed the grass area. This place is a well set up place catering families with a playground, picnic blankets and beanbag style seats.
11 dishes washed down with an estate Chardonnay was spot on. Great knowledgeable staff and a vibrant atmosphere.
The house made olive oil is out of this world.
Will definitely be going back!

As part of our weekend away we managed to do a pit stop at Brown Brothers, the rain didn’t stop us.. immersed in their wonderful wines and jams we had to buy a few more and enjoy the experience.
Some of our favourites were the Prosecco; Moscato; and various red wines.. We couldn’t resist the Prosecco; Cienna and Mascato jams (yum, they go great with our scones). The group stocked up on wines and jams as part of our stop and we’re looking forward to being back next year to enjoy the menu presented at the restaurant.
Staff were extremely friendly, heart warming and knowledgeable. Such a wonderful team out there who welcomed us with high spirits.

The premium wine tasting was a great experience. Allowed us to compare current and cellared vintages of the same wines, it was very interesting. They have a very extensive range. Henry was very knowledgeable and gave great information about the history winery, it's owners and of coarse the wines. I was impressed how comfortable he made us feel about giving our own views of the wines.

I love an experience where you try one dish and it’s delicious. Then try another and it’s also amazing. And the third is also delicious and you then you can’t pick your favourite. This was the great start to the menu at Brown Brothers. The venue has well spaced tables and floor to ceiling glass windows which allow you to sip and eat while surrounded by the green trees. This was perfectly matched by the service by Jason and Alex. I was surprised when given the set menu that it wasn’t chose one dish from each section - you get all the dishes! And all for $80. Incredible value. Each dish is locally sourced perfectly paired with a Brown Brothers wine. It’s become my favorite regional Victorian restaurant.

We love this winery. The wine is great. Wide selection of Chardonnay, Shiraz, Cab Sav and loads more. The food is really good, and there’s a nice little playground for younger children. We were there midweek today and it was pretty quiet. We’ve been there before on busy days and it’s still pretty good because there’s loads of space. Also, their fortified wines are amazing.

We stayed at the campground across the road, which is: so handy to all the milawa gourmet area has to offer, esp if he Brown Bros winery 👌🏼. The grounds are beautiful with lots of seating in the sun or shade on their manicured grass. We went in for a tasting & discovered delicious wines that aren’t on their tasting list, THANKS TO RUSSELL, who is super friendly & and font of knowledge! Being a sweet wine drinker, Russell introduced me to the strawberries & cream, raspberry & white chocolate, hot cross buns & moscato gold varieties. Delicious 👌🏼. So glad we visited & did the tastings. Bought plenty & will keep my eyes open for these limited edition varieties in the shops. Thx Brown Bros & Russell for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

I would highly recommend this restaurant for lunch!

Shez H — Google review
Don't get thrown off by the tacky (no offense)-looking entrance and tourist gift shop. Inside is a museum easily worthy of an installation at a large natural/national history museum like Melbourne Museum or similar. Most impressive was the full scale replica of the Kelly homestead, as well as the cockatoos and cat, which are completely unrelated but still very cute.
Friendly and enthusiastic staff, solid collection of random period artifacts as well as relevant documents such as newspaper clippings, wanted posters, well worth the $12 Adult ticket fee.
Very homely vibe, the people who work there clearly care about the legend and story behind Ned Kelly and are happy to share it.
Travis Ng — Google review
Ned Kelly was an infamous bushranger and outlaw who had his last siege in Glenrowan when he was captured in 1880 and hanged in Melbourne gaol. This museum provides a great insight into who he was and how he came up against the law and police in Victoria. The homestead at the back is a replica of his home and gives a peak into life in Victoria back then. The Glenrowan town itself has lots of places preserved well still showcasing the story of Ned Kelly. Definitely worth a visit if you around Glenrowan.

Enjoyed our wander around this lovely little Museum with a wealth of information and replicas. The Kelly house out the back is well done and really gives you a feel for how they lived in past days. I really enjoyed learning about the history of Ned Kelly. We also visited Beechworth where he was trialed first and we think we found his unmarked grave site at Greta Cemetary. At $12 pp, this Museum is the most expensive that we have been to. They would make more than enough selling all of the Kelly trinkets and gifts out front in the shop.

If you want to know what really happened to Ned Kelly, his family and mates don't go past this shop. A fascinating dog friendly museum, replica home out at the rear of the property, 2 very old and cheeky sulphur crested cockatoos and a blacksmith (in winter time) Simply amazing details of life in the Ned Kelly era. Owners are wonderful people with a passion for sharing their knowledge. Also a little toy animal hunt for the kids. Shop is full of terrific souvenirs.

Honestly excellent.
Small home made museum that lays out the history of the Kelly gang really well.
It’s filled with relics from the time, and some key artefacts from history.
They have even rebuild the Kelly homestead out the back.
$12 for an adult is well worth it.
They were also so friendly, and so passionate.
To top it off, they give you a map of the town with all the key places to visit and will chat about recommended places to visit.
Fabulous service and wine! We were a last minute booking and were offered a wonderful table overlooking the property. The man at reception was the friendliest person ever. A big smile and a big warm welcome. We did the premium tasting of 8 of their wines... all of them yummy. And, the musical duo of guitar and violin walking around singing folk songs in French, English and Italian reminded me of being in the centre of Rome! Wonderful experience from beginning to end!!! Bravo!

We spent a long weekend here with friends. Three couples stayed in the magnificent Rosetta’s cottage. This is a beautifully constructed and lovingly maintained example of early sixties Australian architecture, but made with Italian craftsmanship. An exquisite terazzo patio, parquetry floors throughout, high ceilings and large double bedrooms make this residence an absolute delight. The mature plantings in the garden include exotic fruits, and glorious shade trees. We also partook of the cooking lessons conducted by Katrina. Let Katrina cast her spell over you too, especially if you love Italian food. We had a fantastic weekend in a most scenic spot, with great food, interesting wine and good company.

The staff at both the winery and the mountain view hotel go above and beyond to make this experience special.
They rolled out the red carpet for us and treated us like rockstars. The service is spot on.
The winery itself is beautiful and the wine delicious. There was not a wine I didn’t like. We are now in the Pizzini wine club.
The antipasti style lunch was also perfect.
The mountain view hotel beer garden is a special place, hidden in the trees and this where we had our 4 course degustation dinner. The food again was delicious and wine to match.
There is to many great things to mention about this experience and I would recommend to anyone.

Rocked up for a very tasty lunch at the restaurant, delicious food, relaxing vibe and views (reminded us a bit of Orange with rolling hills and sparkling cellar door perched on high) and of course great wines too. Tip: have a glass of prosecco to start. Whites, Reds and stickies all fantastic.
Customer service was A+ with some warm-hearted banter and was quick and efficient.
Will definitely be back to stay a night or two once accommodation opens up.

A truly wonderful experience in a superb setting overlooking vineyard with views of the King Valley region. Wine tastings are enjoyable, and well done, but the real pleasure comes from dining in their restaurant. Wonderful service, a well thought out menu, excellent presentation, flavours and combinations in all our dishes. Highly recommend.

The outstanding customer service & hospitality started long before we arrived at Chrismont Wines. Jo's communication regarding our accommodation booking, restaurant booking & local tips could not be faulted. Our breath was taken away as we drove through the Chrismont gates; the vines were a welcoming sight & the sky was filled with more stars than we can ever remember seeing. The kitchen was stocked with an abundance of beautiful foods, from sweet to savoury - we were never left hungry! Sitting on the decking looking out over the property, provided the perfect setting for us to entertain & take time out from city life. The service, food & wine in the restaurant didn't disappoint. John from the cellar door was entertaining & knowledgeable. Jo & Arnie were so welcoming, friendly & generous with their hospitality. Google reviews are great, but WOM is even better... we have been telling all of our friends & family about our memorable stay at Chrismont Wines & we can't wait to return!

A huge thank-you to Nigel, whose knowledge and friendly banter made our tasting visit a memorable occasion. The diverse range of wines were all delicious and reasonably priced - struggled to make a decision for the dozen bottles we bought.
Arrived too late for a meal - but the reviews of the menu and photos look very tempting - next time!
Thanks again Nigel.

I had a wonderful birthday lunch, the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable and you can really tell they work hard to give everyone a special experience. The food is seriously fresh and full of flavour. If the staff and food weren't perfect enough, the amazing view from any position in the restaurant is truly breathtaking.

What a fantastic place! If you're in search of extraordinary wines, breathtaking views, and mouthwatering Italian cuisine, this is the perfect destination for you. I've had the pleasure of visiting a couple of times, and each visit leaves me eager for the next. A heartfelt thank you to Jo and her sister for their exceptional hospitality, they made us feel right at home.

I recently made a lunch booking at Chrismont and asked about accommodation unfortunately the accommodation was fully booked but Jo offered to help me with local accommodation. I then changed the lunch date to my partners birthday the very next day and this was no problem, Jo emailed me again to see if I had secured accommodation and if she could help with this and then offered to provide us with an antipasto platter to take to our accommodation that night. We have had several meals at Chrismont and the level of care and service always amazes me. Can’t wait to catch up soon

The second time I have been to Chrismont for lunch and it just keeps getting better each time. The food is seriously AMAZING but the service, staff (special mention to Bruno & Linda) and ambiance is the reason I will keep coming back for more! It’s definitely worth the 3 hour drive from Melbourne. Do yourself a favour & make Chrismont top of your restaurant priority list!

My family and I were heading to the snow and need to stop by somewhere for a quick lunch. We end up here and I was surprised by how amazing the pizza was. Beer was good to.
Only down side I would say is the food selection is pizza and pizza only.

Great little brewery! We were the only ones in there at 1130 on a Saturday morning and it was great. We could see them making the beer and tried quite a few. The sours were both incredible and worth taking home. Also had two pizzas which came out quick and were delicious!
Sophie Potts — Google review
Great atmosphere and friendly enough service. Enjoyed the beer tasting slate of four beers. The pizzas were very disappointing im sorry to say. I was surprised when I walked in and saw a couple of electric ovens, I don't know why, but we were expecting one of those impressive wood fire ovens that you see around various pizza venues.
Pizzas were unimpressive to say the least. Good experience but in my opinion there are better pizzas to be had.

Our first trip to Mansfield and BIG craft brewery fans, we didn't miss the opportunity to pay a visit to Social Bandit. Situated a 5 minute drive outside of town, we may well have walked had it not being pouring with rain. Arriving at 7pm, we were the only two people for a while until 3 other couples arrived. Beer was good as was the music selection which kept us entertained with guessing the band names and year. Food selection was limited with the usual offerings for craft breweries of wood fired pizza, but was tasty enough. Closing at 9pm, we spent a pleasant enough 2 hours.

Stumbled upon this gem on our way back from the snow, not wanting to battle the crowds at the local town pubs. Such a great environment, great staff and proprietor, and having craft beers to suit a variety of tastes and seasons and displaying the product and method is a nice touch. The playlist was fire, too!

Unlike a rather dreary neighboring brewery, the gentlemen bandits are happy to oblige with a tasting flight. Beers are highly drinkable, staff are knowledgeable and the pretzels are perfect. Very much worth a visit.

30-acre zoo with over 100 native & exotic animals, plus feeding & overnight visitor experiences.
Amazing zoo, so many chances to interact with the animals and get up close.
The guinea pigs are too excited to see visitors and come running straight away.
$20.00 per adult which we found to be an excellent price.
Spent about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Do need to provide your own lunch as there is nothing here but heaps of spots to sit for a picnic or head into town for a feed.
Loved it.

Will be great fun for kids. Can feed many animals like deers, kangaroos, ducks, Llamas, camel to name a few. Many animals in open and are very friendly. Kids will live them.

This is a five star zoo better than any I have visited in Melbourne, even with less animal animals are happier and healthier and I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to Dale ( sorry if i got it wrong) for the incredible experience you provided us during our recent visit to Mansfield Zoo. Your dedication and knowledge truly made our day unforgettable.
Your passion for the animals and your willingness to share your expertise with us was evident from the moment we arrived. Your insights and anecdotes added depth to our visit and made it so much more enriching, we were so grateful to see you and the zoo lady help baby deer fawn back into the pen with its mum. It's clear that you not only care deeply for the animals but also for the visitors who come to learn about them.
We left the zoo with a newfound appreciation for wildlife and conservation, thanks to your guidance.

Amazing experience!!
You get to witness Kangas, Deer, Emu, Lamas, Peacocks, and more. They are all cage-free. You can get as close as you would like. Just be careful of their space, though.
It's a very big zoo! We got to interact with a lot of animals. Also, there are 3 lions around in cages at the back. It was truly a great experience.
You can buy food to feed them: $2.50 per bucket.
The entry ticket is $20 per person

We had low expectations but actually had a wonderful time here. We enjoyed all of the exhibits, modest as some of them are. But, we got the most unexpected joy from the tame kangaroos here. I’m an Aussie born and bred and I’ve never been approached by about 30 small friendly kangaroos who just loved being patted and stroked especially under the chin and on the chest. It was such an unexpectedly moving thing to be among and to touch these lovely native animals. It is something I will long cherish.

Was an amazing experience. The deer and kangaroos were very friendly and gentle. We were also provided with free gumboots hire which was much appreciated.
The only negative was the lion enclosure. The enclosure seemed very small and the lions looked underfed.

A fantastic zoo that I had heard of several years ago but only got an opportunity to visit this year. It is a small zoo with rich experience for children. We were greeted by friendly ducks, Peacock, Wallaby, Deer. We could feed all these beautiful animals with hands and other animals we fed with a spade. Lovely talk by Dave when the Lions were fed.
Anil Suri — Google review
I was pleasantly surprised by this quite small private zoo a few kilometres out of Mansfield. On entry, you can buy a $2.50 supply of feed suitable for most of the animals, in a little bucket with a plastic spade. Animals such as deer, kangaroos, wallabies, horses and even emus can be fed by hand, whereas the camels are better to be fed with the spade. At 1:30 you can watch the lions being fed by a keeper, who also gives an informative talk. Two of the lions, both males, are "white" lions, two of only 102 left in the world, all in captivity. A very special experience seeing these majestic big cats up so close. I highly recommend to anyone visiting the Mansfield area taking some time to visit this zoo, especially if you have kids.

Fantastic place owners are really nice it is a private zoo animals are so nice and chilled very friendly. bailey the deer is so nice and gives lots of affection had a broken leg at 10 weeks and a sized leg happy he didn't get put down he has such a big personality. Look forward to seeing him again in September.
I am sorry to see that people leave bad reviews without getting there facts straight first if you have any questions just ask don't assume.
the animals are looked after most zoos sedate the animals to beautify them they dont.
They don't look like models in the wild so why should they look like that at a zoo.

This is a gorgeous spot in Mansfield with a lovely view of the Mt Buller. They have a good range of animals including Lions and Camels.
We went with few families and everyone had a great time specially kids.
It’s bit muddy but they provide you with boots so walking in the mud sort of a different fun. This is a place you must pay a visit.

I had a wonderful visit to the Mansfield zoo, all the animals were so friendly and let my kids 2 & 5yo approach and feed them. I'm so glad to see 2 of the last 102 African White Lions living happy lives in this beautiful open plan zoo. To hear that these lions have lived to 21years (13 years expected in wild) in captivity really shows how much care this zoo takes of their animals.. I will be more than happy to return next time I'm in Mansfield or surrounds

Wow, what an incredible experience we had at Mansfield zoo. We were exceptionally lucky to camp over night, pitching our tent next to the lions and dingoes! The kids loved feeding the deers and kangaroos that freely roamed around. I enjoyed hearing the lions roar at night and going on our dusk walk. The staff were super friendly, animals were well cared for and the zoo was situated in a great location. Thank you Mansfield zoo for our once in a life time experience!

Been here 3 times. But get there early as carparking may become full. Upon arrival staff were friendly and animals were there to greet you. Especially if you carry food provided by staff. The Kangaroos just love visitors. Very easy walk around the place, Plenty of seating and shade as well. Very user friendly. I give them 1000 stars just for that.

Although this park is magnificent and offers spectacular views, the management of this park is disastrous. No Tourist information center, just an old decrepit display, the showers at Lakeside camping area were out of order with no indication for when they may be in service. We came for a hike on the Bolte Bay and Estate Spur tracks, recommended by the Eildon Information Center, with a dedicated pamphlet. We found tracks absolutely not maintained, encumbered with countless obstacles, like fallen trees, sections that were completely overgrown, long grass good snake hazards. It would be very easy to get lost. One of us had to clear the tracks as best they could in order for the others to pass through. The very few signs were also decrepit and rotten, the tracks at times were extremely dangerous due to a combination of very steep gradient and slippery gravels and rocks.
A terrible state well below the standards of other national parks, and dangerous. To be avoided.
Of course no rangers at sight. And we wonder what values they stand for in terms of park management. At a minimum we would expect them to close the tracks they are not able to maintain and are therefore dangerous.

Lake Mountain Alpine Resort is a stunning nature destination situated in the Yarra Ranges National Park, boasting various outdoor activities throughout the year. In winter, visitors can enjoy skiing and sledding, while summer offers opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. The resort's car park serves as a medium difficulty starting and ending point for adventure seekers. Surprisingly, this highest point of the Yarra Ranges is often overlooked by many.
This place is so beautiful. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The bikes are brand new, rent a bike only $50 a day. The bike routes are organized and maintained well. There are many different levels of bike trails around the resort. Highly recommended.
Thanks to lovely staff, we had a good time there.

Totally worth the drive if you're in the Marysville area. I've only ever visited during the summer, and was surprised at how quiet the resort was on my last trip, even on a Saturday - it almost had the feel of being closed. But the summit walk has spectacular views from the top and is (just about) suitable for young families. Just walk carefully and look out for wildlife and cyclists.

Very nice and tidy resort. Definitely recommend to anyone who got kids age between 1-10years old. Very good slop for tobogganing and kids play area. Just 2 hours drive from Melbourne CBD. Other activities also there but it was close due to some reason. Will visit again and book other activities too. Over all good experience. First timer should try here first.

Checked the snowcams and windy to see if it was snowing, and we got lucky!
The drive up was spectacular! We went early September to catch not only some beautiful snow, but also see it through some cloud.
Make sure to pack some food with you for the trip as most places here close quite early.
Plenty of lookouts along the drive, and I recommend a stop at Marysville 🌸

MrLuxta — Google review
Nice place for a snow trip if you are planning your trip well. Do not recommend the weekends on school holidays. And the management is also doesn’t have much idea to control crowd. Minimal number of shuttle buses from the parking to the resort which will make you stand & wait in the extreme weather for 20-30 mins. Up at the resort facilities are good , kids will enjoy the place and the cafe serves some hot finger food as well. Take entry tickets well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Jesto Jose — Google review
Visited in early July.
I will hopefully never go here again 😅 We saw the snow report note 10cm of snow depth. When we got there, they only had a very small patch of artificial snow, with hundreds of children and parents on toboggans...
We weren't allowed access to the other patch of snow.
EXCELLENT: ...
-
NOT-SO-GOOD:
-false / extremely wrong snow depth report.
- no real snow
- very little fake snow
- over crowded
- $62 per car for this privilege 😅😅😅
You can see my pictures for reference.

Great place in winter to come and play in the snow. The kids had a ball on the toboggan run and playing in the snow. If you are not prepared, you can hire outfits, skis, and toboggans on the mountain. There is a cafe where you can go for a feed or a hot drink or maybe just to get warm.

We had a great day up at Lake Mountain in November. We did a few hikes and hubby did part of the Cascades trail on his Mountain bike. Staff were lovely and knowledgeable. Highly recommend visiting outside of winter time.

Driving up to the resort took about an hour from Coburg. Do look at the websites if you need any additional gears, if not you will not be permitted entry.
It was a little disappointing as there was no snow when we went (late July). So it was mostly artificial snow. Magic carpet had a lot of issues, kept stalling so we ended up having to walk through it (which sucks because you have to pay to get on it).
Nonetheless, it was a fun experience tobaganning (cost about AUD15 for tobaggan and the magic carpet). They have a site where you can picnic as well. So if you want to save cost, you can bring your food up and eat under their huts.
Do remember to put on sunscreen, it's scorching hot up there, despite being at 1-2 degrees celcius.

Rating 3.5/5
We managed our expectations after reading all the reviews and looking at the photos. We really don't like crowds but wanted Lake Mountain to be the intro to our kids' first snow experience. We took a Monday off instead of visiting on the weekend and pre-purchased our entry ticket online for cheaper entry. It was a great decision as there were more people than expected there on a Monday but certainly more enjoyable than what it would be on the weekend. Virtually no lines as such and everyone there was courteous.
We packed all of our own food & drinks which was the perfect choice.
We made the most of it and had a great family day.
Positives:
- Staff there were friendly and helpful
- Good facilities
- Retail store and gear hire on site
- Carpark out front was very close which made for easy trips back & forth
- Magic carpet ride was great
- Kids loved the tube run
- Comfortable & warm seating area for lunch
- Small enough so it was easy for kids to get around without being over-tired
- Location and ease to get there was very appealing
Improvements:
- Very small space for tabboganning
- Snow play is in the same area and generally on the outskirts of the tabboggan area
- The artificial snow was rock hard ice that actually hurt to "snow fight"
- Due to small area, many parts of the snow were quite dirty/muddy
- Common areas like dining hall and toilets are quite small for days with large crowds
- Tube run is only operational part of the day, has only 1 tube run so wait time would be a long on busy days, and it needs a magic carpet here too
- Food options at the cafe weren't great and they were pricey

Great place, we visited on a sunny day, and even though we didn't experience it in the way we wanted, it is still worth a visit as the surrounding nature is stunning. Uninterrupted views.
Buy your pass in advance, making things easier.
Hiking trails are really good even if you are of a medium fitness level. We will be back in the next snow season.

Had a wonderful time with family.
Great place to visit, not too far from Melbourne.
You can hire snow clothes, boots, gloves and other items. Cheaper if you buy before you go there or at any mountain in my opinion. But you are covered if you don't wanna buy.
Kids had a great time with tobbogan rides.
A lot of car parks
The cafeteria is great and staff are really good and helpful.
Weather is great, not too extreme when I visited.
A lot of people on the small area though, the whole place was packed which was a little disappointing because you really can't have any space to play or even take photos.

Steavenson Falls is a well-known tourist attraction in Victoria that boasts an 84-meter drop and offers camping grounds, trails, and viewing platforms. Visitors can enjoy an easy 700-meter walk to the waterfall, which is floodlit between dusk and midnight for nighttime viewing. The area also has additional walking tracks, including an 800-meter hike to the top of the falls. However, parking can be a problem at times with warning signs in place.
So amazing.
The falls are an easy walk from the parking lot. The falls are powerful and there is plenty of water. Certainly worth visiting.
There is also some great hiking in this area, if you have extra time.
Family friendly activity.

Nice spot. Very popular.
700m easy grade walk to waterfall. Nice viewing platforms.
Then 800m hike to the top of the falls.
(I didn't go)
Parking was a problem, but there was a warning sign well in advance reporting the problem. So you can turn back and go later, or wait in a queue.
Other walking tracks in area. You can even hike back to town.
No pets allowed on the walk.

Stevenson Falls such a great, peaceful, majestic, beautiful place. Whether it's a romantic day out with that special person, a fun family day or a great nature walk. Stevenson Falls is a place you can't miss. Victoria has so many wonderful places to see and little hidden gems. This is definitely one of those gems that needs to be on everyone's bucket list. With amenities and facilities, those comforts people need are available and after a shot walk from the car park to the Falls. It is sure to be a place you'll never forget. A definite must see.

The falls are always pretty and worth a look. There is a walk of about 700 metres along a fairly flat gravel path.
Watch out for snakes on a warm day.
It's a shame the track to the upper falls lookout and Keppels lookout was closed due to tree clearing works.

First trip to Steavenson Falls and it is probably the best access and for viewing Falls in Victoria, I wish all the councils can provide similar wide, clean and flat walking path, and very strategic located and will built viewing platforms - not 1, but 3, near to each others but with different perspectives.
There are many other tracks around too for those enjoying forest walks or wish to walk to the top of the Falls. The Falls is in fact a 3 levels falls.
Michael Chen — Google review
It’s one the good waterfalls we’ve seen in Victoria. You can walk onto the stone below the waterfall at base. There are 2 viewpoints at base for clicking good pics. If you are up for a small hike, you can go to the top of the waterfall too. Definitely worth visiting.

Great scenery and very easily accessible waterfall.
The path there was very well kept and nicely lit when it gets dark thanks to the in-house turbine supplying the electricity.
The trek up to the top of the falls can be a bit sketchy specially if it just rained in the area. The mud and the rocks will be tricky to navigate through during these times but rest assured, the view up the top is quite nice
ry vall — Google review
Steavenson Falls is perfect for folks who like both short and long journeys. You can take a quick 800m path to see the falls or opt for a longer, about 1-hour hike to reach the top. No entry fee, and there's plenty of parking. I visited on a day when the parking ticket machine was closed, so no charges. The falls are beautiful, and you can choose how much adventure you want – whether a short stroll or a longer hike – making it a great spot for everyone.

Beautiful waterfall located in Marysville Victoria. Strollers can be taken up to the view point which is an advantage if you are traveling with a baby. Just about a 15 minute walk from the car park. If you are going to the top of the waterfall, the walk will take around 1-1.5 hrs but I’m sure the view will be amazing. Unfortunately we couldn’t make it with the kids.
There are some ticket machines in the car park which are not working so it is free of charge for now.

Seriously beautiful falls just outside of Marysville. It's about 90 minutes from suburban Melbourne. There are toilets and car park (bring coins for meters). The walk to the falls from the car park is quite easy. The walk to the top of the falls is far more challenging. The elderly will need to take it in stages. Young kids will ask 4,000 times "are we there yet??". If you get to the top of the falls you are rewarded with a viewing platform that allows you great views of the valley. On a hot day it's wonderful to cool off your feet in the crystal clear water. There are several other hiking trails for those with too much energy. There are very few sizable falls close to Melbourne - this is one of them and well worth the trip.

This might not be the biggest waterfall, but you can get close to the waterfall to enjoy the sight and sound of the rushing water. The water volume is high and the environment is tranquil. It's winter during my visit so it can be quite chilly in the evening. It's worth visiting and I recommend it. ;)

Amazing place with a beautiful waterfall!
10-15 minutes walk to the top of the falls and if you wish there is another track that takes you even further to see a. Beautiful view of the mountains and the town below.
About 30 minutes in addition to the first trail.

What an amazing place ! This place is surrounded by kid friendly parks, creeks, lakes and eateries. The falls in itself was mind blowing. It is a short walk to the falls. For a better view of the falls, there are 2 kinds of treks - one that is easily doable by kids(4-7 years) for 45 mins and the other for more seasoned trekkers which is a longer half day trek. We loved coming here in July 2023.

If you're looking for a waterfall with a decent fall, this will be a really good one to visit, it's got the height and the water rush. We were however visiting on a rainy day so that clearly impacts water density, though signs do indicate that they get falls throughout the year. You're not allowed to go into the water as it's the town water supply, and you can't really find spots to sit on right next to flowing water with views of the fall if you're thinking of a picnic. We visited in the day but there's a turbine that powers up flood lights at night (till 11pm) so that would be quite interesting if you were staying nearby. The walk is not difficult for the average person (flat), but there's railings all the way from the carpark which may come in handy for some. Path is also rubbled so it wasn't muddy even with the rain. Public toilets available.

Nice place/waterfall to visit, worth a short and easy walk from a free carpark. View from the top of the waterfall might not be worth it if you are with kids or in a hurry. There is also a hiking path around, near the top of the waterfall, however, again it might not be worth to take if you are not into longer hiking and with kids. The hiking path is not difficult though.

A gorgeous and peaceful spot, only a five minute drive from town. Many of the tourists there are quite pleasant and respectful, at least in my own experience. I did the hike up to the top of the falls and loved it, despite being rather out of shape and having to push myself to do it. I didn't have the heart to try Keppel Lookout, maybe next time hahaha.

Lived in Melbourne for 20 or so years and had my first visit it Steavenson Falls. It's a beautiful spot just outside of Marysville and really easy to get around and the falls not far from the carpark. For those more energetic, there is also a much longer hike but that will be another day for us. Keep an eye out for the local wildlife, there's plenty to see, just check out my photos.
Toilets, seating at the falls and other places and plenty of informative signs all make the visit a great experience.

We drove four and a half hours to go see these falls today, it was very pretty at the bottom of falls and the walk up the track to the top was amazing,views from up there will not disappoint well worth a trip
Bruno's Art and Sculpture Garden, situated on Falls Road near the town center, is a fascinating and distinct destination. For a cash payment of $10 per adult, visitors can explore the gardens adorned with approximately 160 sculptures. The amount of effort invested in this popular attraction is evident from its meticulous design. Notably, it is located amidst a lush rainforest environment, adding an enchanting touch to the experience.
Life changing experience.. Bruno is extremely talented person and so humble to chat with.. his sculptures are beautiful and takes you to a different world. My almost 5 years old loved strolling into garden.. the music was amazing and surprisingly created by Bruno.. I purchased a CD too. Would love to go again.

It is such a wonderful place to come and check out the art and sculptures throughout the garden. Our host, who greeted us at the entrance and explained about the gardens,sculptures, and artwork that was around the grounds. To get back to where they are now after the fires in 2009, which burnt everything in its path, is great. Thank you. The kids especially enjoyed walking through finding all the hidden sculptures. As you walk around, you can still see the scars from that devastating fire in areas still under reconstruction.

A gorgeous place. I wandered the gardens for hours and I'm sure there's still some sculptures I'd missed. Through his many, many works, Bruno demonstrates so many different things: a deep love for his wife, a respect for his father, his creative use of real world items, an eye for the abstract and the ability to hide small details in the most obvious of places, and my personal favourite, a good sense of humour.
There was one piece in particular that stood out, a lone hooded stone figure, in the middle of a small, circular path, facing away from the main path. Curiosity got the better of me, and I stretched my head around so I could see the figure's face. Under the hood was a mirror, revealing the sculpture's face to be my own, almost like a prank is being played on the viewer. I think the greatest part of Bruno's work is how much fun and passion he's clearly put into it.
He and his wife seem to run the place alone and they're doing a fine job of it. They were quite personable and professional, and seemed to have fun describing the circumstances of each piece in the indoor gallery, as well as walking through the gardens, commenting on some pieces and even bringing certain details to my attention.
Lovely place, I hope to return again sometime.

Visited this place last month with my friends and family.
More than the place if you are from Melbourne you will love the drive to the place as it takes you around small ups and downs to reach there.
This place is good but sometimes feels like way to tight to walk as the trees and some
Plants need to be maintained.
Sitting 🪑area was not widely open so have to adjust whatever option is there. This is a good place but it can be maintained to get more business.
Like if there could be a coffee shop around that would be great so that you don’t have to go back to get one.
Most importantly you need to plan minimum 30-45 minutes so when you are visiting please plan your trip accordingly.

Wow! Just wow!
Bruno's art and sculpture garden is a mesmerising place. The amount of effort that Bruno and his partner have put in to re-create this place after it was destroyed in the black fires is commendable.
Bruno is passionate about art and his work is impressive beyond words.
There is a nominal entry fee. If you're interested in art then spare a couple of hours because you will be here adoring every single sculpture.

Amidst the towering trees of Marysville, the whispers of ancient magic still linger. Step into a world where nature and fantasy intertwine, and walk the paths that could lead you to adventure.

Yea information centre, BBQ facilities and pinic tables just around the corner before you enter the wetland walk. No water access to wash down BBQ, So if you have a bottle you may wish to fill it up at the carpark, The walk was lovely, The suspension bridge is lovely but wood panels feel abit odd. Lovely native flowers and abundance of information, Toilets located within the information centre, With a huge array of Australian made products

Great area to have a walk along the tracks. Good board walks surrounding the lake and river. Easy to access and it is not very busy at all! Not really any park but it is a short walk from the town centre where parking is available.

One of my favourite walks as I love walking through these picturesque wetlands. Easy walking suitable for the whole family and I believe these well maintained paths would also be suitable for wheelchair use. Not an extremely long walk if you just take the circuit but there are ample side paths to explore that all lead back to the main path. Two entrances - one being behind the Tourist Information hut and the other from the carpark. You should be cautious of snakes however as many signs in this wetland indicate.

A nice peaceful and relaxing place for a quick lunch or a stroll. There are shaded benches of decent size as well. We stopped here while returning back to Melbourne though didn't go on a walk around the reserve as we were tired. But we went to Y Water Discovery Centre from over the hanging bridge which is a beautiful location for photography. Discovery Centre has interactive and informative displays, artistic items on sale and clean ambulant toilet facilities. The water in the pond didn't look clean, the walk has huge bushes on the sides and so one must have mosquito repellant if going on a gloomy or wet day.

If you're in Yea and have time to spare on a beautiful sunny afternoon, then I recommend taking a break and walk through the wetlands. Situated close to shops and restaurants. The wetlands has paths that are both natural and man made so if you need wheelchair access you may struggle with sections especially after the rains.
Also the grass can be quite long, so care needs to be taken in the warmer months as there are snakes. Anything I haven't seen any during my visit.
Please take your rubbish home.

Nice quick 1.5km loop which is well maintained with proper paths. Area is quite pretty and a nice little stop off. Car parking is available in the reserve, toilets are just a short walk from the car park.
A wonderfully peaceful setting. We sat overlooking the river on a hot day. Shade cloth, an umbrella and trees protected us from the sun and an ingenious system of sprays kept most of the flies at bay. I had crisp pork belly that was as flavoursome as I have ever had. Delicious. Watching birds and listening to their song kept us entertained over lunch.

I had lunch with my friends at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant. We ordered
House Made Mushroom, Parmesan & Truffle Croquettes $21 (there’s nothing special about this dish)
Roast & Brined free-range chicken breast $40 (chicken is tender and juicy)
Tahbilk Seacuterie plate $68 (this plate comes with 3 pieces of oysters and 3 pieces of prawns and salmon roe crème fraiche) it’s very pricy compared with what we get from this dish
Chargrilled 230g Angus Eye Fillet Steak $58 (this quality steak was cooked to perfection)
Sweet potato chips (this is my favourite item from the table)
Overall, service is not up to the standard. Need to call the server to top up water and server told us they don’t have anything to pack for our left over sweet potato chips)

The river view was lovely, but that was the only compliment I can give. Steak that was raw in the middle and a waitress who was rude. We'd been sitting waiting at the table for about an hour after finishing our meal before eventually we waved her over - nobody came by in the meantime - and she was upset that we'd asked for her attention.

Had a wonderful time here celebrating my birthday!
The restaurant itself was lovely, the food interesting and delicious and the service very friendly.
Unfortunately I forgot the name of our waitress but she had blue and pink split dyed hair. Anyway, she did a great job and answered all our questions happily.
We had the special Good Friday 2 course meal including one glass of wine for $65 pp. This was very reasonable, we were just a bit sad that the wine that was included in that price didn't necessarily include something we liked 100% so we went with the next best and then in addition ordered a bottle of moscato which we highly enjoyed. The pink moscato was so delicious!
We had a variety of food between us 4.
We tried the lemon and sage pasta, the roast lamb, the truffle croquettes, the meat platter and the cheese board.
We were very satisfied with everything. We honestly had such a great time with our friends here. After our lunch we headed for a walk behind the restaurant looking at the wine fields.
We are not from the area but we will certainly return when we are again! 🍷🧀🥖

Lovely location, beautiful views and good staff. We had the mushroom and truffle croquettes, cauliflower and carrot, the lamb and the silverside with the suggested wine pairings. Croquettes were delicious. Loved the cauliflower. Lamb pulled apart beautifully, but the lentils were a bit much and the dukkah was a too liberally used. The silverside was disappointing. It was dry, salty and tough. (Hence the 4 ⭐️).
Wine pairings were perfect. We particularly loved the Shiraz and Rosé 💕

Visited for a work Christmas lunch and was frankly disappointed. The day was hot, yet we were seated outside on the barely shaded verandah while the air conditioned interior remained empty. While bottled water was available, it would have been nice to have been chilled considering the weather.
We had confirmed on booking that meals and not small plates would be on offer, yet we were only offered the smaller tapas options on the day- not ideal for a large gathering. The trout pate & sweet potato chips were delicious, but the rest of the menu was lacking. Three small.pieces of pork belly in a dish for $24 is unreasonable. The total.cost of the meal was twice that of surrounding similar options that offer full meals.
Gorgeous surroundings, but won't eat there again.

Located in Seymour is a commerative site dedicated to the service people who served in South Vietnam in 1962-1975.
The building on site has poster displays and is a replica of a concert stage built at Nui Dat during the Vietnam War called Luscombe Bowl.
On site is a Huey helicopter elevated on a pole and Centurion tank.
(Sorry Keith the Huey on a pole trumps your land Rover on a pole)
There is the Long Tan Cross to commemorate soldiers who lost their lives during the battle of Long Tan on 18th August 1966.
The commemoration wall has background images superimposed over the names of the 60,267 service personnel and 11 tracker dogs who served in South Vietnam.
There are holders for poppy flowers.
Overall a great tribute

Four Pillars Gin Distillery, located in Healesville VIC 3777, is a modern distillery specializing in producing a range of unique gins. The contemporary tasting room provides guests with the opportunity to sample their gin cocktails and snacks while enjoying the refreshingly modern decor. Although wine tasting is popular in Yarra Valley, Four Pillars offers an alternative experience with casual tastings and tutored masterclasses, showcasing their innovative approach to gin-making.
Quite a large space.
Good service.
So many different gins on offer.
We did a few cocktails.
My favourite was the PB&J cocktail- could really taste the roast peanut and chocolate in there. So good.

I hadn't been in a while, and wow, has it grown and changed for the better. There is now more space for everyone. You can make a quick stop for a queeky drink the bar or sit and enjoy lunch in the dining area with a beautiful menu and extensive cocktail selection. There are also special tasting experiences and classes. But remember you need to book in advance, as they are very busy.
The staff are all very friendly and a few of the more senior staff have a lot of knowledge.
We certainly felt welcomed into the Four Pillars home.

We’ve been to four pillars back in the early days, during their renovation and today. Great gin, my fav is the bloody Shiraz gin, and for lunch they have an expanded menu now. Today we had their grazing board which included some gin infused bites such as the salmon and duck pate. A great combo with their gin paddle. Highly recommend you check this place out for lunch in Healesville, the distillery looks amazing.

We were super impressed by this distillery and how sustainable they were as they had used copper and recycled bricks. They even had recycled gin bottles as vases on the tables.

If you are a gin lover and in the Yarra Valley you would be mad to miss this stop!

Really there is only one reason to visit and that’s for the gin! The G&T paddle it’s enough to share one paddle between 2, plus delicious small plates.

The restaurant at The Four Pillars gin distillery provides a remarkable culinary experience, perfectly complemented by a gin tasting.
Among the standout dishes, the chicken, leek, and tarragon pie was a true delight, as were the confit duck arancini and gin-cured salmon bagel. The ham, cheese, and chili jaffle was also a pleasant surprise.
The service was both professional and friendly, adding to the welcoming and warm atmosphere of the place.
Overall, it's a gastronomic experience not to be missed for gin enthusiasts and lovers of inventive cuisine.

This place has some great gin and food but the whole experience feels a little rushed. The waiters are rushing to get you your food and beverages and always seem to be out of breath. The only time the waiters didn't feel rushed was bringing my gin paddle where they actually slowed down and explained the hub. Was a bit shocked they gave us a ticket saying we only had 90 minutes even though the place was half empty.
It is the most popular gin distillery on the area but I find it is a little over hyped and over priced.

Our visit to Four Pillars Gin Distillery for a tasting was truly exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting, setting the stage for an immersive experience. Alexa, our guide, went above and beyond, offering insightful and detailed explanations about the intricate process of crafting their remarkable gins. Her knowledge and enthusiasm added a layer of depth to the tasting, making it not just a drink, but a journey through the artistry of distillation. The distillery itself exuded a sense of craftsmanship, and the diverse range of gins showcased the mastery of flavor. It was an impressive and memorable exploration into the world of gin, leaving us thoroughly delighted. Highly recommend for both enthusiasts and those new to the craft!

Very pleasant place, staff, wine, food and clean facilities. That was March 2022.
Went to Chandon again in May 2022. The consistency of service, friendly attitude and terrific food is remarkable. The Autumn colours of the vines bring a somewhat Chery atmosphere to the scenery on a rather dull but mild day. Peps you up really as do the Autumn leaves on the trees. Had some Oysters this time before a generous Charcuterie board. You don't have to go to the Peninsula to get fresh Oysters, they were as fresh as can be. Ah, Chandon tasting board, Oysters, Chandon wines, serene outlook.

Service was good, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. If you are visiting on a warm day, bring some insect repellent as the flies are a bit too friendly if you are outside.

We loved the whole experience. Food was awesome and well balanced 3 course menu + dessert. It was my partner's birthday I booked in and they surprised him with a candle on dessert and the dessert was free. The waitress was very helpful, patient and caring. She was always checking up on us to ensure we have the best experience. It's just the drinks we didn't enjoy much because of all sparkling drinks because none of us are fan of sparkling drinks.

We arrived early for our tasting (that we booked months before, but looked like they had room for walk-ins), and are we glad we did. The bar area was beautiful and the Spritz was absolutely delicious! The tasting itself was very well done and they were able to answer all of our questions. We ended up buying a bottle as well as a topper that survived the flight back to the US. I’d definitely recommend Domaine Chandon for anyone in the Yarra Valley!

Definitely one of the prettiest wineries in the valley still. They've rezoned the place post COVID so tasting is now in a separate room for $80 per person at set times, or you could just buy their tasting flights at any time, <$30 for 3 glasses a flight and purchase food together. We ended up just doing that instead as that seemed more worthwhile plus it was an hour and half wait for the next tasting. Amazing views of their well maintained and well landscaped vineyards with classy furniture to match. Friendly yet professional staff and good service. Can see myself revisiting with friends for a relaxed lunch of their charcuterie or cheese board especially! Toilets available. Free entry and parking.

Overall, food was pretty decent with faultless and prompt service.
Each paired wine was also given a brief background by the waitress with expectations on smell and taste.
Highly recommend the onion tarte tatin (not advisable if blue cheese is not your thing), king dory (had the pork found that it was not as tender as I'd like) and the pear with rice pudding.

We visited on a Tuesday afternoon and the sunshine and sparkles were plentiful! The Chandon grounds are absolutely beautiful, the landscape boasts vines, nearby hills, and a European courtyard vibe in the outdoor seating. We loved sitting under the umbrellas and enjoying two of the tasting flights.
Our absolute favourite was the Ruby Cuvée- we could have consumed a whole bottle. Instead we ordered a glass after our tasting and enjoyed the indoor area, which has gorgeous decor and a little merchandise store. The staff were lovely and the space feels like a perfect location for a Bridal Brunch or Hens Weekend stopover!
My one request is for Chandon to release their Ruby Cuvée in local retailers as we are not from the area and would love to purchase this more regularly!

Recently after coming to Melbourne We visited Chandon to taste their beautiful wines. Although we had tried Chandon sparkling wine earlier also but tasting the same wine in their winery is itself a unique experience.It was a fabulous day and the food & wine together is sensational.Staff serving there was very friendly and knowledgeable and the Lounge Bar has a lovely views. Food was exceptionally good with a bowl of perfectly cooked chips with a homemade ketchup. A lovely bottle of Chandon Garden spritz was the perfect accompaniment. Looking forward to my next visit.

We try and visit Chandon at least once a year. It is always a fabulous day and the food and wine is sensational. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the Lounge Bar has lovely views. We opted for the Charcuterie platter which contains the best chicken liver parfait I’ve ever had. Gorgeous oysters with a yuzu dressing were tart and citrusy. Topped off with a bowl of perfectly cooked chips with a homemade ketchup. A lovely bottle of Chandon Vintage Brut Rose was the perfect accompaniment. Looking forward to our next visit.

Yering Station Winery is a prestigious winery located in the Yarra Valley, in Victoria, Australia. Established in 1838, it is one of the oldest and most respected wineries in the region. The wines produced by Yering Station are known for their extraordinary variety and quality. Additionally, the winery features an upscale restaurant with stunning views of the valley.
The dishes were delicious, they only have a selection of 2 courses $70 or 3 courses $85 and we wanted 3 mains, 2 entrees. The manager was happy to charge us $48 for the extra main so that worked out great for us. They offered free wine tastings and a wide range of selections. Stunning view and great service. Quite pricey but worth the dining experience

Great food and Service. The waitress went to bring colouring pencils for my 4 year old daughter which was much appreciated.
The quail wasn't gamey but the sauce was. Cheese platter could feed 4 I reckon.
The steak eye was amazing! Very well cooked with so much flavour! I was also impressed with the Dory. It had so much texture and bite compared to what I find in my country. The rabbit felt like tuna to me though but still good.

Excellent service and food! The waitress are very friendly and helpful. I booked the table online, they reserved a table with awesome window view for us! All the starters and mains are outstanding (looks pretty & taste good), the potions are bigger than i expected. It’s make sense to have 15% surcharge during the public holiday. I would recommend this place to my friends.

We booked for lunch for celebrating birthday.
But we went to wine tasting before start lunch.
They said if you booked for lunch at the restaurant, tasting fee will be no charged. That’s very nice to know!!
All wine was nice.
Staff at the tasting were very attentive.
Staff in the restaurant , they welcomed us with big smile and services we received was excellent and friendly.
Food was beautifully presented and taste was very sensitive.
The portion was just right size for me. Just once thing if I can add, the food was bit under seasoning for my preference.
But overall We had lovely dinning experiences .
The staff who served us was so lovely, I think her name was Julietta. Thank you so much for your lovely smile :) Your smile made our day!!

A good dining experience with great wine selection
The dining experience could have been better. My steak temperature was a bit overcook but the food itself tasted amazing.
the presentation is on point but sadly the entire experience could have been more faster. Waited too long for each food.
The wine selection is great! Must try

Came here during the Easter weekend and the place was packed as expected. Did the wine tasting and there was a 30 mins wait and I was understanding, so we spent the time browsing the premises and admiring some of the artwork, architecture and the garden. Beautifully curated and on another day could spend a whole afternoon. Definitely one of the best wineries in the area.

Worth a visit. Good quality produce. Dishes are very well put together and taste great as a whole (rather than individual components). Scenic views from restaurant, peaceful surrounds.

Magnificent food. A taste experience. Wonderful service and ambience with lovely views to the Kinglake Ranges. 2 and 3 course menu options, so not a value meal, but the value is there if you are looking for top tier dining experience with great wine

We had 3 banquet menu, it was $85pp for lunch. Price was reasonable but food was not good enough. Mostly dry, only dessert was good. I would recommend this place to someone who only cares about the atmosphere not the taste of food.

Food was exceptional, really tasty, enjoyed every dish. Service - can be improved… staff weren’t highly efficient to cope with the busy lunch hour.

Delicious food, excellent quality and quantity. Good selection of wines. Four stars not five stars due to service (the staff were run off their feet); and there are better or just as good restaurants that are not as pricey.

Exceptional wine tasting at Yering Station Cellar Door! 🍷 Kudos to Ryan, the manager, for his expertise and hospitality. As a qualified winemaker from NZ, I vouch for the incredible taste of their wines. The 2021 Reserve Shiraz Viognier stole the show— very smooth tannins, ready for drinking now and ripe red fruits on the nose. Highly recommended!

I recently visited Yering Station Winery while on a Hen’s winery tour. The property was beautiful and had a great variety of wines. While we were there, we did a wine tasting session.
The staff member (sorry I don’t remember her name) was very knowledgeable on both the wines we were tasting, as well as the history of the winery which was great to listen to and learn about.
Overall I enjoyed the whole experience. I would come back here to try the food.

Had a delicious lunch at Yering Station as part of a wine tour. The potatoes are very well done and addictive. The lamb shank was perfectly fall off the bones with delicious flavours

Always love visiting this winery as they have such beautiful grounds. Their tastings are all very good value, we did the $15 tasting where we were able to try 9 different wines. Also if you buy any wine you get your tasting fees waived. Only thing is we came close to closing so our tasting was a bit rushed but still very enjoyable!

A lovely treat for the weekend!
We went to Yering Station for a Christmas lunch and it was absolutely delicious! We had the option for a 2 or 3 course meal but I would recommend the 3 as the food is too yum to miss. I had the zucchini flower entreé, and for main the Lamb rack which came with a mushroom pie and for dessert a peach panacotta!
Definitely a pricier experience but great for a special occasion :)

Stopped for wine tasting. Expert host took us through the various tiers of tasting and the entire flight of wines based on the tier chosen. Very informative and great introduction to Yarra Valley wine style. Beautiful winery.

Went there today for a 70th birthday. The food looks great in the photos, but had absolutely no flavour. The fish in the first photo was extremely dry and no flavour, the crab was exactly the same, I wouldn’t even call it crab for the minuscule amount that was inside. For $80 for two courses it was an absolute rip off. The only meal anyone in my family had anything positive words to say was the Kangaroo. Even the dessert had no flavour. We spent over $1000 as a family and feel extremely ripped off.
No table water, and no one came back to offer if we required more we had to flag staff down. Attention to detail lacking, no salt and pepper on the table either. Now I NEVER season my food but in this instance it definitely required seasoning. Don’t waste your money.

We came for a wine tasting after a recommendation from friends. Yering Station boasts the reputation as one of the oldest wineries in the region, and their skills are apparent in their wine. There is a good range of options for tastings and the Estate option provides you with the best selection.
After trying the Estate selection, I fell in love with the Shiraz Viognier and left with a bottle to share with my family 🍷The garden entrance to the tasting room is gorgeous and worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.

A great place for wine tasting, with friendly staff who explain every wine in great detail. This is my second time here from Singapore, the first was in 2016 and now in 2024. It's truly a beautiful place.

Enjoyed a lunch there a few days ago.
Very nice place, enjoyed walking around the Property after. Victoria's oldest winery. Not a big fan of the set price menu, although most of the wineries do it.Went there mid week so not to busy.
Would recommend this place.👍
Last year my school came here for our year 5/6 2022 camp we all loved it the staff were amazing they gave us great food and we did great activities however we did not get much sleep due to noise from outside and the bathrooms were ok but I still enjoyed the stay would definitely come back!

Such a beautiful place for an outdoor wedding, stunning forests of tall trees, with open clearings in bush areas for ceremony and photos. Michelle is so lovely to work with and open to ideas. The open lawn areas are perfect for bring your own catering with plenty of room for photo opportunities.

Awesome fun. My son and I loved it. The staff were very patient to encourage my son to finally step of the edge of the tree top and down the zip line. It’s a huge step for him overcoming a fear of heights.

The team was 10/10 - had so much fun, learnt a lot about myself and my colleagues on a work trip! The kitchen staff made food that was faultless!!! I would say the only this I wanted more of was… my time there! Thank you to everyone, special shout-out to Hammo, our “elder”, who allowed me to grow so much! The three days we spent at KFAC was unforgettable! 👌🏼🤩

Awesome place for a school camp or group camp if you want to bring people closer together. I had such a great time and challenged myself in many differnet ways. Thanks to Ben, Alex, James, Liam, Ewan, Biz and all the kitchen staff for planning and preparing everything and for making things run smoothly even thought the weather did not want to cooperate. It really was an amazing camp and I hope to go back there some time in the future.
