This place is closed. Do not waste your time trying to get here. There is however a magnificent view of the vineyards that’s worth the trip.

This is a beautiful little winery with great views, great wines and fantastic service. The wood fired pizzas were delicious and I particularly loved the Pinot Noir. The decked out bus/bar is a fantastic idea and the kids were entertained with the lawn games. We really enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend if you are in the area. Thanks for having us.

Not the friendliest service. Think the person serving us was stressed maybe but we were very chill and happy to wait so be nice if the stressed vibe didn't get pushed onto us. Wine was ok. (No tasting available but can purchase a wine flight paddle -. $15 for three wines) Pizza yummy. Views amazing and the bus a funky addition.

Amazing views, great wines, dog friendly, yum wood fired pizza = perfect lunch spot 👌

Enjoyed Shiraz with the best accompaniments cheese, prosciutto and salami and also the amazing view of sleeping beauty, Mount Langi Ghiran......

Great little winery to visit whilst in Ararat and have a bottle taking in the views!

Love this place. We went to have a tasting, not to stay. It has great wine, bands, view, service and pizza too. Simple but great.

Totally surprised. Unsure if we wanted to visit with my son's family. Took the risk - it was amazing. Much, much bigger than you would think. Amazing animals and habitats. Our grandchildren were captivated. A fantastic attraction - under rated and unknown?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Experience at Halls Gap Zoo From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how beautiful and welcoming this zoo is. A special shoutout to the lovely young lady at the front desk her warm smile and wonderful help set the tone for the day. The girl working in the food van was absolutely incredible friendly, efficient, and so lovely to chat with. And to the amazing keepers who guided us through the most unforgettable Rhino experience wow! Their knowledge, passion, and care for these magnificent animals made it truly magical. Getting up close and learning about the rhinos was something we’ll never forget. Halls Gap Zoo is a credit to everyone who works there. It’s not just a zoo, it’s an experience full of heart, beauty, and incredible people. Highly recommend to everyone! 🦏✨monique and Nathan

A real surprise. Was not expecting a zoo this incredible in this location. Great layout, and plenty of free range animals to get close to. The deer were hilarious and friendly. Get a few feed bags for the walk through the zoo. Also has a great playground inside.

A great little zoo with a relaxed vibe and plenty to see. Grabbed a food bag each at the entrance and had a blast feeding the friendly deer; it definitely added to the experience. The meerkats were hilarious, constantly popping up and checking us out like tine security guards. Paths are easy to follow which helped when a deer ate my map! We saw a good mix of native and exotic animals and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Halls Gap Zoo is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Grampians area.

Fantastic Zoo! We spent a solid 2–3 hours exploring the winding paths, each lined with enclosures featuring a great mix of wildlife—local favourites and international species, from tiny marsupials, monkeys🐒 or reptiles to towering Giraffe's 🦒 The entry fee might feel a bit high at first, but once you see the scale and care involved (rhinos and giraffes aren’t exactly cheap), it’s easy to understand why. Friendly deer and peacocks roam freely and are happy to be hand-fed with feed bags available for purchase. It’s a well-kept, thoughtfully laid-out zoo that makes for a great half-day outing. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I didn’t plan on visiting the zoo whilst visiting the Grampians/Halls Gap, however I couldn’t help myself after reading the reviews. It is absolutely amazing there! The animals appear to be well looked after and loved, they all have more than suitable enclosures and then you’ve got the free roaming animals which makes it feel so different to most zoos. I would definitely make another trip here just to go to this zoo, hopefully next time I plan ahead and can try out the animal experiences. Not as many animals as mainstream zoos, however the circuit walk, being able to hand feed and get up close & personal with the roaming animals, and the fact that the animals in enclosures there seem genuinely happy makes up for that factor. Be mindful of the deer ambushing you for the feed though! 😂

Friendly and informative staff, large range of animals (rhinos and giraffes were the kids favourites). Clean and good layout to follow around. Enjoyable morning with the family.

Dropped by here in the late afternoon. Not sure whether it wasn't opened or already closed for the day. Anyway it was worth coming and exploring the outside of the Centre.

We were lucky to have weather that was lovely, although it was a bit cool and fresh, the sun was shining. A nice fresh winter's day. The kangaroos lazying in the sun, few Emu, and a kookaburra. Its a place I will return to for more adventures, during the summertime.

All the information you need. The cafe is nice as well.There a couple of nice,easy walks

information center open, but cultural center/museum closed due to water damage(?). cafe was also closed. information center sells a number of nice and interesting souvenirs and local products. worth checking out, but probably only indeed the cultural center is open. walking through to a large grass patch after the cultural center found us a number of emus and a few kangaroos!

Cultural centre is closed. Info centre Cafe hasn't opened for years. Small giftshop. That's about it. Wetland walk is terrible and land is screaming out for Management. Wood, leaves and branches everywhere. Really disappointing as it used to be the highlight of the Grampians.

A must see/do experience whilst visiting the Grampians. The film is very entertaining with the history of the area, from many perspectives. The cafe & gift shop are a delight. Try the Lemon Myrtle Scones with a coffee.... unreal, delicious. A memorable experience.

I remember when this was being built and although it still looks good, some of the displays are getting tired, although the information is still good. Located just outside of Halls Gap you can walk or ride along well made paths. Inside is a small cafe where you can dine on fresh food and refreshments. Outside are some excellent interpretation boards that give a history of the area and the life prior to white settlement. The retail shop is extensive with lots of interesting items. There is plenty of parking under the shaded gums. The place is wheelchair friendly and in fact you can motor on your wheelchair from town to the centre. Very kid friendly with lots for the little ones to do. I would say you could spend at s minimum and hour here. There are tours available as well. Enjoy.

I regret to hear that my three days stay at Hall's Gap did not meet my comfort expectations. Incompetent & arrogant is the only way I could describe the staff. Front desk guys were worst & indifferent. They never returned my calls; definitely a lack of professionalism. Misleading Information was the key factor. On the website it specifies "warm salt water" but instead we ended up with a freezing cold swimming pool, mind you this was on day two of our stay. On the first day the pool was completely locked up! My experience at the lodge was not positive therefore I won't be recommending this place.

Great location. Units had everything needed. Kitchenette, TV, basic crockery. Barely any hot water very intermittent, no cold tap required. Main bed extremely hard. Very worn towels. Staff friendly. Couldn't keep room warm as need fob in the slot, so when going for dinner heater was off. Car park close but when raining there were massive puddles around so made it difficult to get into car. Very convenient if need to be close to main street. Cafes close by.

Avoid this motel. It is dirty and run down. Our room was dirty on arrival, so we used the dirty pool while we waited for our room to be cleaned. When we entered the newly cleaned room, it smelt of body odour, the bathroom smelt of urine, the pillowcases had not been changed, the bedcovers/ doonas had not been washed for a long time, the heater for the second room was broken, and under the bed was filthy. The toilet at the pool was disgusting. The reception is mainly closed, as the person in charge is away working in the nearby cafe. The whole place needs a lot of money spent on it and maybe employ a few more people. The manager is totally out of his depth and not coping.

I stayed here with my 2 brothers and my mum, firstly when i was in the pool it was super murky and filled with particles,and smelled like cigarettes, also it gave one of my brotehrs a terrible rash on his foot , it also gave me a super dry throat and made my cough worse. Secondly the receptionist was awfull and rude when my mum was paying he crossed his fingers like it wasn’t going to work?! And he took 20-25 minutes to come and wasnt good with his phone or what he was using cause he didnt awnser,and i want to say the room was disappointing the heater was noisy and hardly worked and the table was broken the top wood was able to lift up,and the shower when i turned the knob not even alot for cold it went freezing and when. I turned hot A little bit and it was boiling and moldy where u put the soap, and i was scared to see my brothers electric blanket on his bed looked like it was gonna catch fire ,and the sheets was so dirty lucky i brang my own blankets

Be careful. I surfed the internet for accomodation in Halls Gap but, because it was cup weekend, options were limited. I came back to Pinnacle Holiday Lodge advertised through Agoda. First look I noticed the FREE CANCELLATION, this was important because were were towing a van to Horsham for our son to borrow and it was hard to confirm arrangements when you are dealing with your kids... things are subject to change ! Two days after booking my son confirmed Ellis's crossing, which is closer to Dimboola, I have a cousin in Dimboola so I cancelled the booking on line. Next morning I received confirmation of cancellation which said No Refund applied to the booking. I paided $285 on my VISA, I cancelled 48 hrs after booking and 3 days before the booking date. A % booking fee would be reasonable but to keep the $285 not so much. I rang Pinnacle who said I needed to ring Agoda. Agoda would refund but Pinnacle needed to approve the refund. Agoda said they were ringing and emailing Pinnacle to approve, Pinnacle said they were not receiving calls or emails from Agoda. Pinnacle were saying they would do every thing they could to help but failed to call or email Agoda on the addresses I sent through. After 2 days of calls back and forth Pinnacle said they were very busy ...to busy to make a call or send off an email.... not so willing to help after all! Finally it was sorted on Saturday, 3 days after cancellation. It seems that when I came back to Pinnacle Holiday Lodge on Agoda's page I clicked on a cheaper price and the condition on that cheaper price was no refund. As the FREE CANCELLATION was obvious in my initial search, the No Refund was in fine print and not clear. I'm sure I'm not the first to get caught and I wont be the last. So be careful. Pinnacle said to call them direct in future, after this example of their customer service .... I dont think so!

Location is great however that is only positive with this dirty, shabby, uncared for accommodation. Need to wash dishes used, which is fine, if there was a plug, dishcloth and tea towels provided. Bathrooms mouldy in the 4 rooms i booked, towels thin, fraying and past use by date. Toaster rusted with dirt and fluff onbread when it popped up 😬😬flickering lights, toilet didn’t flush and would have checked out but had paid in full and given attitude of owner didn’t think i would get refund. Pictures on website are so outdated i cant even imagine it ever looked like this. So disappointing and I feel so ripped off as there were many other nice places in area. No love or care given to this place - avoid

We stayed here for two nights. The kitchenette is fairly lacking in amenities (only electric frypan, no pots, chopping board, or kitchen knife. There was a bread knife but nowhere to slice your bread apart from the sink). Kitchen sponge was old as hell and quite gross. Yes, that’s what we started with when we checked in. Hairdryer in the room doesn’t work. All of the sinks need to have their taps closed super tightly or they’ll drip through the night. The pillows are pretty thin and uncomfortable too. Had to fold it to get to sleep. I can accept an old bedroom for the price range but there are many things in the room lacking in maintenance. Pretty sure you can get a better price in the area. Only good thing is the location and price for a larger room.

Speechless. Incredible lookout! It's a quick stroll to the lookout, you can see the lookout from the carpark! suitable for everyone of all abilities. If you want to go for a longer walk there are some more challenging trails surrounding the platform that allow you to take in the views. It's very high up so it's very cold, bring a jacket and some warm pants! Unless it's summer of course. I could stay up there for hours just taking in the view, a must see of the Grampians!

On that rainy day, the viewing platform I had been so looking forward to visiting seemed draped in a delicate veil. Thick mist concealed the distant mountains and the horizon, turning what should have been a wide, open view into something hazy and unreal. In that moment, a touch of disappointment welled up in me, as though I had missed the chance to see the most beautiful painting. Yet, as the light rain tapped gently against the railing and the fog drifted slowly with the wind, a different kind of charm emerged—the world felt quiet and mysterious, like stepping into an unfinished ink painting. Although I wasn’t able to witness the vast and magnificent scenery I had hoped for, I could still sense the allure of nature. And perhaps it was this very incompleteness that became a new source of anticipation. In my heart, I made a quiet promise: next time, on a clear and sunny day, I will return to let this unfinished landscape find its perfect ending in my memory.

Guys, don’t miss this place! We actually planned to come for the sunrise but couldn’t make it, and still — it was absolutely beautiful. You can visit anytime of the day and it’s worth it. I’d say this is one of the best lookout points in the Grampians. It’s super easy to access, just a short two to three minute walk from the parking area, and there’s plenty of parking too. It’s also accessible for people with disabilities, which is great. Definitely one of the places I’d highly recommend!

Absolutely stunning views from this lookout across the valley! Short drive from Halls Gap through windy roads, signs will lead the way. Less than a minute walk from the car park with no steps/stairs, accessible for everyone. There’s a viewing point on the left where you look over the cliff rocks towards the dam and another lookout to the right where you can directly see the dam. There’s drop toilets by the car park too. A must see! ⛰️

This is easily a must see when visiting Geriwerd. It is very rasy to drive to, the lookout is about a 30 second walk from the carpark, is wheelchair accessible and is absolutely stunning.

One of the best and easiest lookouts in Grampians to access. No difficult climb, or hours of waking. Just a quick few steps out of the car. Accessible to most people. Stunning on a nice clear day.

The best look out at the Grampians in my opinion! It’s the other side view of Grampians then Reid’s lookout! 5th time I have been here! Still amazing!

"MacKenzie Falls is a breathtaking 40-meter waterfall in Grampians National Park, flowing year-round. Enjoy scenic views from Bluff Lookout or tackle the steep 260-step climb to the base for an up-close experience. A must-visit attraction in Victoria, Australia."

A must see and very impressive! But be warned, so many stairs. Many many stairs. Make sure you're prepared for all the stairs... Very touristy so it can get crowded on weekends, try visit off peak if you can to make the most of it. Absolutely huge waterfall and plenty of walks around if you don't want the experience to stop! Really loved it and is a must see of the Grampians region. This place is full of surprises, can't believe Victoria has something like this!

I didn’t expect the sound to reach me before the view did. Low, steady, like breath through a canyon. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just fall; it insists. And somehow, that insistence quieted everything else. From the Bluff lookout, the whole scene opens up. Wheelchair-accessible, it’s a place that doesn’t ask you to prove anything. You arrive, and the land receives you. There’s a bench tucked off to the side. Not marked, not famous. I watched a youngster sit there, swinging her legs, watching the water like it was telling a story only she could hear. That felt important. The mist creates its own world of ferns, moss, even the air feels different. I touched the sandstone and thought about time. Not in years, but in textures. If you go, bring something small. A thermos. A poem. Mackenzie Falls doesn’t just offer a view—it offers a conversation.

Beautiful waterfall! Done the walk to the bottom many times throughout the years and will continue to do so. The sight of it never ceases to amaze me. It’s 260 steps to walk down to the bottom, certainly worth the walk. The first part of the way consists of flat parts and stretched out wide steps whereas the last part downwards is short steep steps/staircases. The way down is easy, the way up might require a couple breaks. On the bottom you can enjoy the waterfall in its entire beauty. After it has rained it is especially huge, you might get wet just by standing nearby! There is an additional walk all you can do from the bottom of Mackenzie falls to fish falls to the right. Also a nice little walk to do ☺️ There’s signs everywhere to tell people not to swim in front of the waterfall because of the danger, however every time we visit there is still people swimming regardless. At the top near the carpark are good toilets. There is also an additional 2x lookouts at the top which look downwards to the waterfall; good for anyone unable to walk all the way down. And as per the famous sticker from my home country that has also made its way to the Mackenzie falls: Nett hier. Aber waren sie schon mal in Baden-Württemberg?

Amazing trek experience. Takes a good 15 minutes to get down to the base of the waterfalls. You can return from the view point in the middle or can go the base. What’s even exiting is you can trek further for about 30-45 minutes to reach fish falls. Moderate trekking, good to have water bottle.

The Falls are amazing, it was a good walk down the stairs, but you realise you have to walk back up them. When I got to the falls I realised it was going to be worthwhile. I went further downstream to Fish Falls, a nice walk along the water and through the bushland. I would recommend to anyone who is comfortable with rougher ground walking. Stopped on the walk up a few times, bit was a great day

Second time visiting Mackenzie falls, this time I did the lookout walk with my son and 80 year old grandma in law! She was able to walk to lookout and back no problems at all. Lots of Aussie native plants. Toilets at the start!

Good spot to walk the dogs on leash if visiting Dunkeld. It has multiple wooden bridges to walk across the pond, kangaroos and ducks. Only removing a star because it's not really a collection of the world's trees as promised - that claim is a bit far fetched. Lovely place nonetheless and worth the visit especially if you need a place to walk the dog!

A little underwelming. I wouldnt call it botanical gardens, more a park. But nice all the same. Worth a stroll.

Good place to visit. Finding parking lot might be a little tricky. Very easy walk and just big plain field for you to explore. There's a couple of historical stuff that you can check while you're there. Worth a drop by.

Lovely walk around the lake. Plenty of birds and kangaroos. Lots of big old trees. I would have appreciated if the gum trees were identified also.

Lovely for a walk some of the trees were flowering, so was a great time to go. Very peaceful.

What a little hidden gem. This place is best explored by foot. Beautiful trees, wildlife and backdrop of Mount Sturgeon. I would love to see this place in spring

Great little spot for a walk. Water is very low though. Unfortunately.

Fairly easy 1.2km hike with very minimal stairs, mostly path. Quite pebbly so watch your ankles. View from the top was amazing! It would be even better in the PM given the sun's position

A quick stroll, easy walk. Beautiful vistas and lovely bush to walk through. A must when in Dunkeld. Even spotted orchids. Do it!

A relatively short and easy hike that offers great views toward Mount Sturgeon (south) and Mount Abrupt (North) as well as the surrounding farmland. Highly recommended

Drive up a short dirt road to reach the parking area, which has sufficient space and a single picnic table (not suited for caravans). Fairly easy and pretty walk to the top - about 2,5 kms return (straight up and back). Great views of Mt Abrubt along the way and from the top as well as surrounding farm lands. If you walk a little further around, you can also see Mt Sturgeon from the top, but be careful as there isn't a clear path.

Easy uphill walk when it's not too hot and the path is not too muddy. Walking through after a rainy day was pleasant and you could smell eucalyptus along the way. A breathtaking and panoramic view with many photo moments.

This is a great hike for families with relatively young kids. It takes approximately an hour for the round trip. Definitely recommend. However, it's better to avoid on rainy days. Thanks.

A great hike for those short on time or who don't want a massive climb. Great sunset views of Mt Sturgeon. Would be a great sunrise hike too for the views of Mt Abrupt.

Great place to go for a trail ride! Cameron is a fantastic instructor and will give you mini lessons throughout your trail ride! The ride is suitable for riders of all levels, and a horse is selected for your skill level - plenty of chances for nice long canters! Lovely ride through the bush and gorgeous horses to ride!

Had the absolute best time at Grampians Horse Riding. Such friendly and down to earth people, felt so welcome. My horse for the ride Jasper was a perfect fit for me being a beginner. He was so calm and forgiving. The scenery was beautiful and I learned so much. I have definitely started an obsession, I need my own. Thanks so much Cameron!

Had a private tour today with Grampians horse riding centre. Definitely recommend going for a ride here! The surroundings are beautiful, and you get clear explanations about the key aspects of horse riding. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, the tour is customized to your level. The horses are well cared for! What’s great is that it’s not just about the ride, you also get to help with grooming and saddling the horses.

Fantastic! Cameron will teach you everything you need to know to be confident horse riding. We enjoyed the complementary overnight camping in the beautiful remote location the night before the ride. Highly recommend!

Such an awesome experience at Grampians Horse Riding! Cameron was amazing — we learned so much, not just about riding but also about handling challenges together as a couple. Truly unforgettable, and we’ll definitely be back next time!

Went with my partner for a two hour trail ride. Had a great time as a beginner, Cameron was informative about horses, horse riding, and the local area. If you've the time and are in the area, definitely give it a go. Can't go wrong.

This is more than just your average trail riding centre. If you enjoy well educated quality horses then this is for you. Safety is always a priority but balanced with fun engaging exercises. Cameron respects his horses and expects you to do the same. He has a wealth of equine knowledge to offer if you're willing to be educated and is not afraid to keep you in check or alternatively allow you to ride ahead if capable. The scenery is magic and you will come away refreshed and more confident in your skills. We had a group of four riders from absolute beginner to rusty old keen 'wanna be' and all thoroughly beamed after our ride! Can't wait to have the privilege to ride with you again Cameron. Good luck with those non equine ventures and hope you have recovered from those renovation induced injuries;).

unfortunately it was closed when I passed by. Really like the signs and rocks outside that give an informative view on volcano’s. Though it was closed, it was worth the stop!

The centre and presentation from volunteer staff was very informative and interesting to both the young and old of our group.

Was very nice drive worth going for drive 😀 be going again

Recommend coming here to learn about volcanoes. Definitely deepened my understanding and can see bluestone everywhere I look now. Was interesting to learn about why there are volcanoes in this area. Outside display also offers information if centre is closed. Volunteers were very friendly, thank-you

Normal visit .. not worth the ticket price ! Good hospitality. In maintenance now !

This region is famous for its ancient volcanoes, and you can experience the present, from the videos played in this venue, and the past, plenty of artifacts are on the display, that are millions of years old. While in this area you may wish to drive to visit Mount Rouse, which actually is inactive volcano!!

My mum recommended I visit here on my way back from Hamilton. I had some time to fill in so I agreed (and it was next to the public toilets). I loved it! The volunteer was so helpful and I found the information, displays and interaction fabulous. I've recommended it to many people since. Well done :)

This is more than worth the drive from Melbourne for a special lunch! Meant to take photos before I ate but couldn’t help myself. Amazing everything on the plates.

I stayed one night in the hotel and had dinner here. Meal was amazing, big portions, good variety to choose from, more than a pub meal but great pub prices. Also, all local produce used. The accommodation was great, clean and tidy, nicely furnished, comfortable bed and nice and quiet. Highly recommend this place.

Been here a couple of times and each time the food was excellent. Today we had the sardines and olive tapenade, croquettes. slow cooked beef brisket to perfection, onion rings where the batter was light and crispy and for desert we had the tiramisu and basque burnt cheese cake that was equally delicious. This time round they even Galivanter gin and tonic on tap that was the best G&T I’ve had in a while!

Though you might not expect it, Cavendish's unassuming Bunyip is easily the best dining experience in Victoria. All the produce is fresh, the food thoughtful, simple and constantly-changing to best make use of what is in-season and locally available. This time around we had croquettes, tempura-battered stuffed zucchini flowers, duck galentine with plum sauce, cold tomato soup, slow roasted pork shoulder with a pavlova and nougat parfait for desert. All were stellar. It's made even better by the atmosphere. Easily the least pretentious place you can experience food of this quality at. Your might be between an insufferable marketing executive and a local bowls club. Between an artist and four guys on their way back from a rabbit shoot. It's all helped along by the lovely wait staff (Hetty and Olivia, in this case). I couldn't recommend it enough and will be back in another few months.

Been planning to come here for a while. We had the chefs selection of dishes. Never had chicken liver parfait before, certainly not at a country pub, but it was delicious! The beef short ribs looked amazing and we were lucky it was one of our selections. The pick of the night was the cabbage in blue cheese sauce with peppercorns I'm presuming are from the lovely large peppercorn tree outside. Would highly recommend and definitely come back, great value for money!

This place is legendary and for good reason. We booked the chefs table lunch on Sunday and were so impressed with the quality of the food and service. Every meal was utterly divine. The exquisite mushroom and cheese croquettes, hand cured salmon, pork belly and brisket cooked to absolute perfection. And to top it off a sublime lemon tart that was really more a citrus creme brulee in tart form. The chefs table changes week to week so I can't wait to go back and try it again!

What a little gem. Amazingly friendly fun locals and staff. Roaring fire lovely flowers very clean and comfortable. Great grassy beer garden looking over a little river. Mel and the rest of the staff just lovely. Great local wine list. Food was spectacular . They put up with our bad singing and dancing. Rooms very cosy. Hope to be back soon

Lovely gardens and a lot of work have been done on the bridge and garden beds. The fountain has scaffolding around it, but it will be restored to original soon. Visited in winter so not a lot of flowers. The sensory garden behind the curators cottage was very special.

Old botanical garden, very large trees as the gardens were established in 1880's these were the 4th botanical gardens in Victoria. Most trees are well labelled, and plenty of history boards.

Beautiful garden always a good place to relax or walk! Very well maintained!!!! And there were new features recently added

Beautiful small garden littel play ground for kids nice place to walk the dog let the kids ride there bicks .

After Hamilton swap meet..bought some local takeaway Chinese food..took it to the gardens. Beautiful seating spot just near the rotunda..chilled variety of birds..decided after we ate that we walked around the gardens and checked out all the trees by name. Cottage, botanical conservatory, aviary, animal enclosure (nothing in there atm) bridge over pond. A little bit of work seems to be going on..which is always good for progress. History of the park was interesting, they had monkeys at one stage...a must visit.

Impressive. The fellow who designed these gardens was also the conservator of the Melbourne botanical gardens. His influence is evident in the flowing lawns and beautiful specimen trees. Gorgeous place to wander or sit for a while. There were a few people having picnic lunch when I was there. Love that the bridge has been rebuilt like the 1920's one. The bandstand has it's history recorded and it's worth walking down the North West for the historical elements including an oak planted in 1880.

We managed to catch a terrific afternoon with Trax Big Band playing in the rotunda. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The band woke up the nearby, and substantial, flock of fruit bats who happily skwarked and jostled in the sky above the rotunda. Couldn't have scripted it better! Delightful!

The crater rim walk was stunning. Looking forward to going back for some more of the trails.

Walking the Lava Canal Walk at Budj Bim was a truly fascinating experience. I now understand why places like this hold deep spiritual significance in Aboriginal culture; witnessing how the land was formed is awe-inspiring. Nature’s power is on full display here. We were cautious while exploring the tunnel cave section, as we didn’t have a flashlight, and the rocks were slippery. There was also the chance of snakes. We stepped in a bit, but didn’t go too deep into the cave. The trail itself stretches about 6–7 km through forested terrain. You walk over rocky paths and soft, spongy plant layers that sometimes feel like there’s empty space underneath—like walking on nature’s cushion. It’s peaceful, and at times slightly challenging, but incredibly rewarding. We saw so many koalas along the way, which was absolutely heartwarming! And towards the end of the trail, a family of kangaroos appeared right in front of us. While we’re used to seeing wallabies, encountering these larger kangaroos was something else; so powerful and graceful. This walk is something I highly recommend. It’s quiet, occasionally demanding, and gives you the feeling of walking on ancient lava flows that shaped this land thousands of years ago. You can truly feel the spirit of the place in every step.

A wonderful hidden gem! Great spot for watching wildlife and enjoying the great outdoors.

Great facilities at the camp ground with hot showers and flush tolets. Fire places at all camp sites. Lots of wild life, and three walks start not far from camp ground. Recommend visiting

One of the coolest national parks in Victoria! I visited on a rainy day, and it was still stunning. If you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a visit.

A hidden gem of volcanic features in western Victoria. The caves were a highlight. We did the 6.5 km lava canal walk, which was strenuous and full of interesting things to see althouh sadly we did not see koalas. Would love to go back for additional short walks and cultural options. Facilities were very good.

Extremely disappointing and very unloved. There has been no maintenance on the place for months. Do not attempt the lava canal walk with school groups or young kids. Scotch thistle and grass to hip height and at aminimum you need good shoes thick long pants long sleeve shirt. Even then our WA visitors turned backed with prickles and a snake phobia. Very unsafe and track should have been closed. I would not walk this in warm weather. A complete embarrassment for Victoria . Please clean it up or close the tracks before someone is hurt or bitten.

An easy walk to the viewing platform from the car park. Picnic areas and shelter to relax in a lovely bush setting. The fall was flowing really well too. There's also toilets.

Lovely falls. Very accessible 2 minute walk to viewing platform. Picnic tables, bins and toilets.

Stunning rocks formations. We saw it with just a small amount of flow of water but still amazing as it dropped into a deep pool below the cliff. Upstream are tickles to explore. Well worth a visit!

The falls are fantastic. The picnic area is well maintained. As are the toilets. Well worth the stop.

Nice falls, can only be viewed from the viewing platform, no access to the bottom as steep cliff walls surround the canyon, a nice set of little rapids up above the falls about a hundred metres, you can also camp here and there are tiolets, long drops.

Excellent park and scenery. You can't get very close to the falls, but the viewing platform is a good overall vantage point.

There wsd a good amount of water flowing over the fall. Such a nice place to visit

This is a wonderful place to visit. I did not know anything about the first Indigenous cricket team. The memorabilia is exceptional. Shirley Crompton

What a wonderful exhibition. If you love cricket and the history that this little gem of a town has then this museum has it. Wonderful people that are very passionate about what they have are so happy to talk to you. An absolute experience. Thanks Harrow.

Amazing find, in the most fascinating little town. Give yourself plenty of time to wander the street, see the history. The cricket museum would have to be one of the best museums I've seen, and I don't even like cricket! Check out the general store for great coffee and a step back in time!

What an amazing place to be. Harrow Cricket museum is the real mecca of cricket, this is where it all started in Australia in 1868. Harrow is a small sleepy town with lovely people and a rich heritage. Harrow Discovery Centre is open all days and a must visit for anyone with love of cricket and history. You can spend the whole day in the Harrow Discovery Centre, and then visit the local pub just across the street. Lovely place!!!!

Very interesting on the history of the first aboriginal cricket team that travelled to the UK in the 1800 . It closes too early on weekends at 2pm but as we were attending the harrow show we were able to visit at night but way too short as the woman commentator was excellent and had us enthralled.

Harrow has a terrific Discovery Centre that was well structured, authentic and steeped in history. The cricket memorabilia is totally amazing. To have such a vast collection of pieces from our first ever team to tour England and the largest Bradman collection in existence is amazing. The volunteer staff are warm and inviting, and enthusiastic about their work. Well worth a visit. Harrow is a lovely quaint warming old country town. A step away from hustle and bustle and return old world charm, a real surprise package.

What a find!! What an amazing amount of cricket memorabilia, with a huge amount dedicated to Bradman. The centre has a great historical connection to its indigenous cricket team. Please visit and donate to keep it running. Excellent achievement for the Harrow community.

It was a nice peaceful ride along the Glenelg River. We were provided home made scones with jam, and tea and coffee. The scenery was nice to take in at what a marvelous place we live in. I was holidaying in Mount Gambier and went there.

Lovely to cruise down the river. Very comfortable and good value for money

Beautiful river. Truly friendly locals eager for a chat. Fishing was a little ordinary though.

Wonderful experience. Amazing scenery and interesting tour. Very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Well worth the money.

Relaxing trip from Nelson up river to Princess Margaret Rose Caves. Coffee and tea and some snacks available on the boat.

A sensational location you relax and explore.

Awesome day out.

A delightful surprise off the beaten track, with natural and wondrous ups and downs on display. Remote means crowds are sparse, and souvenirs are unsurprisingly dated. Take the tour. 10.30am a ripper.

Princess Margaret Rose Cave is a beautiful little gem set in the Glenelg National Park Victoria, just across the South Australian border. I enjoyed the tour & learning about the formations, the history & how the cave was found. If you’re up for it there is a lovely hike near the caves with breathtaking views of the Glenelg River. There is a tourist shop at the entrance where you can buy gifts but be warned, the stubby holders are $16! I was stung on the way out as there are no prices on them but I know the money goes to the parks so can’t complain too much. All in all well worth a look.

Caves are closed and by the look of the office , permanently. We did go on the treks there but they’re not being attended to either and it was a real big disappointment. Was kind of a wasted time really . Could’ve done some other touristy thing.

This place used to be bustling tourist hot spot , what is left is a abandoned disgrace run down buildings typical of Parks Victoria , damaged signs/ over grown tracks / paint pealing off everything , looks like they just up and left ……. Highly recommend NOT visiting this spot 👎

Great day and a great adventure , very pretty place . It’s the same as other lime caves but a very enjoyable experience, on arrival you pay your money and walk down a large set of steps to the underground line caves. I suppose it’s very similar to other line caves but it is still very pretty and worth a look

The caves is closed and abandoned but it is a beautiful walking track!

You will truly enjoy the Princess Margaret Rose Caves. Even though the caves are closed, it is still worth the trip and the walk. Don't be shy. Love the Best journey ever, if you want to explore some more!

wonderful place to visit so interesting discovering how settlers used to live seeing there cottages inside reading the history all free to visit I had a great time learning about the families. grounds where great kept tidy funny thing I saw was all the old petticoats hanging upon the old washing line like they where living there .it made me laugh but historical part was ever so interesting highly recommend going with family and friends and tourists .

Only a few historic cottages. Only one opened. Presumably badly kept to make a point of horrible conditions the people in general and this family in particular lived. Really not much to see. All you need is a 5 min drive down the street. BTW badly signed to find the place.

Great place to see historical buildings and its history

Wow, really worth stopping by for this. We spent a good hour and a half looking around. Seeing the old houses is incredible and truly unique for Australia. The gardens are wonderful. I feel lucky to have seen this. Well done to everyone keeping it going. A beautiful, must see in the area. So much history to read and witness.

Just loved the little houses. Great examples of hessian walls covered in layers of old wallpaper! Can't believe a couple with 15 children lived in Sharam cottage. (My lot better not ever complain about sharing with one sibling again!) Beautiful flower/herb gardens. I bought some fresh rocket, parsley and strawberries all for a donation!

History related place. Worth walking around and learn about that era. Historic houses, good to learn about old time houses and story behind it.

This was a really interesting little Street to wander down and see how hard life would have been. Great piece of history with good information provided.

Lovely services from the ladies at the cellar door. Tasted 5 wines. Their top 2 (Odyssey and Prodigal) are very good and will improve with age. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate wine was also very good. Highly recommend stopping by and trying them....

A group of 8 of us wandered in on a Wednesday morning. Naomi was behind the tasting counter and a superb ambassador for Katnook’s amazing range. The Prodigy and Odyssey were superb highlights. Lots of boxes now winging their way back to Melbourne. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Just wow! We swung past with doubt in our minds as being a larger group of 10 looking for something to not only quench our wine thirst but our famished bellies with fantastic cheeseboards. We tried our luck and much to our surprise we were blown away with the accomodating experience of the 2 women running the day in Katnook. As a skilled wine drinking clan travelling from the Barossa Valley we already have born and bred standards, but these ladies blowing away our minds with warm hospitality and amazing wine was the cherry on the top of our perfect day. Thank you katnook and the girls with the great hospitality.

What can I say… Driving down the driveway when the vineyard is turning the shade of the sunset… Arriving at the cute cellar door and being greeted by a lovely lady who was super attentive and full of knowledge about not only Katnook wines but the surrounding region. We were able to try all the wines and were also made a beautiful cheese platter for our family. All the wines were unique and delicious! We have been travelling around Australia for 2 years and this would have have to be one the best experiences at a winery that we have had. P.S the previous review from the “wine professional” - what a flog!

"Rich in heritage, Katnook Estate lies in the heart of the fabled Coonawarra wine region, South Australia. It is home to some of Australia’s premier terra rossa vineyards." as mentioned on its website. Not only vineyard, but you can see roses and do some wine tasting. Love their wine, bold and rich in flavor. Ah there's wine museum here as well 🍇

Wonderful company with an incredible heritage. Staffs are truly nice and proud of what they are doing make people like us for the very first time visiting feel so blessed and appreciate more of the wine industry in Australia. We bought their lovely Carbenet Sauvignon and guarantee they will be for our special occasions.

The wine tasting was very yummy and generous and the chacuterie board was also very generous and well priced. Excellent value and very friendly staff and great service! :)

We prebooked Wynns premium tasting experience, which was well worth the small additional price, refunded after our purchases. A lovely historic building with artefacts to explore. Knowledgeable host made it a most memorable visit. Allow 1.5 hours.

A Fantastic Start to Our Wine Tour Wynns was the perfect first stop on our wine tour, expertly organized by the brilliant Coonawarra Experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. The tasting experience was exceptional, especially the Flagship range, which showcased the winery’s craftsmanship and depth of flavor. The 2021 vintage stood out as a particularly great year, offering beautifully balanced and complex wines. Beyond the tasting, we loved learning about the rich history of the land, which was well presented throughout the winery. A visit to the cellar added an extra layer to the experience, making it even more memorable. Wynns is a must-visit for wine lovers exploring the Coonawarra region!

An amazing company with long history and wonderful people. We bought Wynns mostly in Melbourne for a while but I didn't know the building is for real. I was surprised when we first visited as this vineyard reminds me a lot about Tuscany. So special and memorable experience among other wineries we had in Coonawarra. The tasting of premium wine was beautiful and recommended. We bought a mixture 6 bottles and they will be our special collection. We will come back for another release soon.

Lovely winery experience. Nice to be the first tastings on a Sunday, or was there a 100 before us LOL 😆 Lovely host with heaps.of knowledge. Great wines and fabulous value!

Really surprised (in a good way) to see they had a Pedro Ximénez. The lady who did our tasting (wish I’d caught her name) was super friendly and made the whole experience really enjoyable. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Coonawarra.

Wynn's is synonymous ith Coonawarra so had to stop going through. For tasting there is cost if you do full tasting selection but this is waved if buying some bottles. There are new destination EV charges, but these weren't listed on plug share or other. Not sure if cost but didn't necessarily seem the case.

Went here as a pit stop from MaClaren Vale back to Melbourne. Few months back we’ve acquired a 30 yr old Wynn’s wine from the premium range and that was smooth and we decided to revisit Wynn’s. $15 for wine tasting and $30 for their premium range which is refundable if you purchase a bottle or two ( or more). Place was clean and lots of history. Their displays of family history and wine making were very interesting. Helpful staffs. Wheelchair and pram friendly.

Very lucky to have a place like this basically in our backyard! There were a few flags up preventing us from being able to walk all the way around. As we were visiting in winter all the beautiful hydrangeas were unfortunately not flowering. I can only imagine how beautiful it would look during summer! Was relatively quiet when we visited which made for a lovely experience.

Beautiful and well-kept spot, especially when the gardens are in full bloom. The sinkhole itself is impressive and easy to access, with plenty of photo opportunities and shaded areas to relax. Parking right at the site is limited, so it’s best to use the larger parking area shown on the map just a short walk away. Entry is free, and visiting in the late afternoon is extra special when the possums come out.

Umpherston Sinkhole is one of Mount Gambier’s most beautiful and peaceful attractions. The moment you walk down into the sunken garden, you’re surrounded by lush greenery, hanging vines, and perfectly landscaped terraces. It feels like stepping into a hidden world. The place is very well maintained, with clear pathways and plenty of spots to sit, relax, and take photos. In the evening, the resident possums come out, adding a bit of charm and excitement to the visit. Best of all, it’s free and easily accessible. A must-visit spot in Mount Gambier for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking for a unique and calming experience.

The sinkhole is easily accessible with free, nearby parking. Visitors will be impressed by its look, featuring carefully landscaped gardens, stairways, and paths for exploration. The surrounding park is also well-maintained. It's especially worth a visit in the evening to watch the possums emerge from the crevices.

The Umpherston Sink-hole in Mt. Gambier is certainly worth a visit. The garden is picturesque, with quite a variety of plants for such a small area. It's peaceful & relaxing. There are viewing platforms which allow for photo opportunities, & you can climb down via stairs if you'd like. Going down into the garden is not an option for those with mobility issues, but viewing the garden from the first platform is still worthwhile. Several visitors did just that while we were there. Entrance is free, & although there were visitors coming & going, it didn't feel crowded. Parking was free on street, with varying time limits. Children should be under adult supervision at all times.

During our stay in Mount Gambier, we made sure to visit Umpherston Sinkhole, also known as Balumbul, and it really lived up to the reputation of being one of the best free attractions in town. Located just off Jubilee Highway on the edge of Mount Gambier, it’s easy to access with plenty of parking available nearby. Entry is free, and while the gardens close at dusk, you can return in the evening to see the resident possums, which are friendly and often come down looking for food. Walking down the steps into the sinkhole, you’re greeted with a beautifully maintained sunken garden. The terraces are lined with flowers, hydrangeas, lush ferns, and trailing vines that make the entire place feel almost magical. The garden dates back to 1886, when James Umpherston first transformed the limestone cavity into a peaceful retreat. Today, it’s still well kept and offers plenty of great photo opportunities. Around the site you’ll also find toilets, a kiosk and picnic areas, making it a lovely place to spend a relaxing hour. Do note, there are a lot of bees in one corner of the sinkhole—harmless if left alone, but worth being mindful of if you’re allergic. An absolute must-visit when in Mount Gambier.

Visiting this sinkhole was like stepping into a secret garden carved by time itself. Surrounded by vibrant greenery and thriving plant life, the entire area radiates a peaceful, almost magical energy. The natural walls are draped in moss and vines, creating a living tapestry that changes with the light throughout the day. What makes this place truly special is the atmosphere — it's serene, untouched, and full of life. Birds chirp overhead, the air is fresh and earthy, and the gentle rustling of leaves adds to the calming vibe.

My husband and I have done the stick tomato self-guided tour and both the Alexandra and Victoria guided tours with Jack as the tour guide. We had an amazing time and Jack is extremely personable and bursting full of information. Jack can read his audiences and is thoughtful of the needs of the people on the tour. It is quite obvious he loves what he does, we will be back to do the Blanche cave when the bats are not hibernating

We purchased the self guided cave entry which came with the complimentary entry to the museum of fossils. The fossil museum was well done it's great for children and adults. The stairs to the cave are a bit slippery so wear proper footwear.

I visited Naracoorte Caves National Park with my Year 6 and Year 1 kids. The bat tour’s live viewing and conservation insights, plus the Victoria Fossil Cave’s fossils and storytelling, made it outstanding for my Year 6: very educational and engaging. Stick-Tomato Cave was a nice, shorter add-on. My Year 1 found some caves dark and long, so younger children may lose interest if doing tours one by one on the same day. Highly recommend for upper primary learners.

Did the Alexandra and the Victoria Fossil caves , found it very educational and interesting to learn about the animals that use to walk this earth! The guides were extremely knowledgeable. Did find it hard as we travel with dogs and dogs are not allowed in the park grounds .

Unfortunately only had time for the victoria fossil caves, we will definitely be back to tour all the caves this park has to offer in one day. Our tour guide (Barb) was fantastic, she was considerate and very knowledgeable. If you are considering these caves, do it.

Amazing, wonderful and naturally created . Staff are so friendly and Informative . Each cave and walk is easily accessible . You definitely need to pre-book your cave experience as they fill quite quickly . This can be a complete days experience or just a few hours . There's a cafe with indoor/outdoor seating and plenty of picnic areas .

From the very first moment, the atmosphere draws you in with its beauty and tranquility. Every corner has something special that makes you forget the outside world. A magical experience that invites you to disconnect and simply enjoy.

This Cave Garden is far less good compared with the Umpherston Sinkhole, which is a few minutes drive away. If you have visited the Umpherston Sinkhole and don't have enough time, I highly suggest you skipping this Cave Garden. It's pretty small, less nice gardening, with rubbishs inside the deep sink hole. I reckoned better maintenance might make this Cave Garden more beautiful and attractive (perhaps lack of fund from council?). As the Umpherston Sinkhole is so stunning and it is such a nice underground garden, and situated so close to this Cave Garden, otherwise this one might still be good for visiting.

Made a short visit to the sinkhole garden. Look beautiful on the outside but after you take a short walk down and look carefully into the hole, you will see plenty of junk inside. We spotted a shopping trolley, chairs and tyre rims! What is wrong with those people who threw it in?! Nevertheless it still look beautiful from the outside.

The Cave Garden is a unique natural feature situated right in the middle of the city's bustling center, offering remarkably easy access. ​Convenient street parking is available nearby, and an hour is more than enough time to explore. While undeniably accessible, it is significantly smaller and less aesthetically dramatic than the Umpherston Sinkhole. Unfortunately, the garden's natural beauty is somewhat diminished by scattered litter, likely brought in by the wind, which has a noticeably damping effect on the overall experience.

For such a naturally beautiful landmark, it was incredibly disappointing to find it filthy, unkempt and full of litter. We'd been so impressed by all the other beautiful sights in and around Mt Gambier. This was a huge let-down and was heart-breaking to see how this beautiful place is been mistreated and neglected.

Lovely place to visit, always well maintained close to all amenities, coffee and library great to go if raining, turns into a great water feature, also have the Party after The Parade held there following the Christmas Parade. 🏞️☔🎄

The Cave Garden is a well-known attraction in the heart of Mount Gambier, located directly behind City Hall. This large limestone sinkhole has historic significance, as it was once the original water source for many of the town’s early settlers. For me, it’s a place I’ve visited many times since childhood, and while it remains an iconic site, I feel it has seen far better days. The surrounding grounds are well maintained, with lawns, pathways, and signage in good condition. There are multiple viewing levels accessible by both stairs and ramped paths, making it easy for most visitors to get a close look. From the upper level, you can look down into the sinkhole, while the lower paths let you get nearer to the greenery and rock formations. Inside the sinkhole itself, however, the flora could use more attention. It feels a little overgrown and untidy compared to how it once looked, and during my visit, I noticed some unwanted rubbish on the cave floor, which was disappointing. A cleanup and refresh would really help restore its appeal. Entry is free, and it’s open daily, so it’s still worth stopping by if you’re in the city centre. With some extra care, the Cave Garden could easily return to being a standout attraction.

The Mt Gambier Council (Or whatever they are called ) need to spend less money on the "The Blue Bob" and clean the garden up. Wheel Covers and Trolley in the cave in addition to a messy garden...We had the joy of meeting a local homeless person hiding in the garden at 5pm trying to scare us by yelling "Boo" It need a cleaner a gardener and those cameras poiting at The Blue Bob so some kid doesn't stick eyes to it ( And improve it BTW) shold be moved into the Cave Garden

The Blue Lake is one of Mount Gambier’s most iconic landmarks and something we always make time to see whenever we visit. The lake sits in the crater of an extinct volcano that last erupted over 4,000 years ago, and today it’s one of the most striking natural features in the region. The walk around the lake is under 4km in length and takes roughly an hour at a leisurely pace, especially if you stop at the lookouts along the way. One of the highlights is walking under the road to reach the Black Wall Lookout, which provides a fantastic elevated perspective. The lake sits at an altitude of around 150 metres, with the surrounding crater walls rising even higher, making for dramatic views across the water. The colour of the lake is especially remarkable. In the warmer months, usually from November to March, the water changes to a vivid cobalt blue, especially under a clear sky. At other times of the year it takes on a more steel-grey tone, but it’s always impressive to see. With walking paths, interpretive signs, and several scenic lookouts, it’s an easy and rewarding experience. If you’re in Mount Gambier, visiting the Blue Lake is an absolute must.

This is one attraction worth seeing if you visit Mount Gambier. However from what we were told, the best chance of seeing the blue of the Lake is between November & March. A fine, sunny day is best. It can be a bit hit & miss. There are no fees for entry. And no queues. Parking is free, right above the Lake. There are marked spots off the side of the road. There is a gutter from the parking lot that needs to be accessed, so may be a hurdle for those with mobility issues.

Worth the trip. Lovely bike ride from the city centre around blue lake. So much wildlife and surprise cactus garden near one of the lookouts.

A beautiful 3.5k walk around the Blue Lake with plenty of scenic lookouts along the way. 😊 Not challenging and thoroughly enjoyable. Possible for anybody of any age to complete. Our kids really enjoyed the walk. Highly-recommended. If you're going to take the time to go for a walk I recommend checking out the big blue lake. 😊 Thanks Mt Gambier! We have bee. Having a blast. 😊

If you are around Mt Gambier, this amazing lake is a must to visit. It's got a breathtaking view. The lake is surprisingly blue because of a natural phenomenon, but its beauty is much more than to be depicted in photos.

Amazing, beautiful volcanic crater Blue lake, located in the south side of Mt Gambier town in South Australia, is renowned for it's blue colour, which changes with the seasons. It's one of Mt Gambier's main attraction, this lake is also a source of water supply to this town. The water is filtered through the limestone layer which lies underneath the town, it's water quality is high, requiring only minimal treatment before being released for use. There are several lookout point around the lake providing good views, a must-visit location when in South Australia

You can either walk or drive around the rim of the lake. It's a 45 minute walk and along the way there are a few lookouts. The lake is blue, I mean really blue but only during Summer(Dec to Feb) when the water temperature reaches 20 degrees and even in Summer, if you go there early in the morning or in the evening, its colour is dull blue. So make sure you go there when the weather is warm enough. I highly recommend to take a walk around the lake.

Really enjoyed this cave, lots of interesting history and the tour guide was amazing, so much information and pointed out different things that you wouldn't notice on your own. Lovely coffee shop (with great coffee, best I've had in a long time) all the staff are wonderful. If you visit Mt Gambier you have to visit Engelbrecht cave!

The history of these caves is very interesting. I was there when it was raining, it was amazing to hear the water rushing down crevasse next to the caves. Beautifully restored and looked after. It's definitely worth paying to do the tour

Yeah a dry limestone cave yeah unique in many ways just not very pretty or interesting, or well fun.......much better if your a cave diver I'm sure but for the rest of us who pay 15 bucks for a tour really not that great. I guess a look in to say you did and to look at the clear underground lake water.....and climb a few stairs and listed to a tour guides efforts to make the whole experience more compelling maybe.....

Fantastic set of caves which, also can arranged dive tours, mostly grade 2 and 3 divers. The walking tour guide, Luke, has great Aussie humour, making the tour more enjoyable. He is also very knowledgeable with some historical trivia. Highly recommend this tour, opened 6 days a week, closed on Wednesdays.

There are 2 parts for this cave. The blue water is part one, and the other one is part two. The lady who was giving us the tour of these caves was very good as well. Listening to the history of the cave it was little sad to hear, but a great job done restoring and opening them for tourists. Do book the tickets beforehand. Should be in the list while visiting Mount Gambier!!

Amazing tour guide (Tara I think) who made it so interesting. Not one of the showy stalagmites and stalactites type caves, but a dry cave with a great and unfortunate history. The 45 minutes went quickly and I enjoyed it very much. Worth seeing.

This cave may hv a sad history but look at it now, a beautiful hidden gem! The water is very clear blue and only licensed divers have access to it. You can’t just go into this cave without a tour guide and definitely you can take a picture as much as you can but taking videos are not allowed. Crowded of people during the peak seasons, lucky we still got the ticket! This cave is worth and is a must visit!

Another absolutely fascinating country museum. A $10 entry (concessions and discounts available) gets you access to three floors of local and farming history as well as a range of outbuildings including a complete schoolroom, relocated original buildings and loads of old machinery. There's a beautifully detailed model railway and decent shop. The main building is also home to the tourist information center. The only thing I'd have liked to have seen was some more information about some of the machines in the grounds - I thought I could recognize or, at least, figure out the purpose of most farm kit but some of these old machines left me scratching my head.

Loved this museum , well kept with extremely friendly staff. Great look into Australian country life and evolution. With a wonderful kids museum that makes “boring history” seem fun

We (2 adults + 3 kids) really enjoyed our visit. We spent about 75 minutes. The staff were really great. The displays were really great. The history of the area plus a number of buildings from the region have been brought to this site. Our kids loved the school building. Fun place to visit, interesting for everyone and a great location.

Great local museum in Naracoorte with alot of interesting historical items to look at and walk through about the region and the sheep's back, worth a visit.

This museum was great! A very detailed look in to the regions history and a wealth of information about current attractions and things to do. Anne was lovely and very helpful, would definitely recommend this experience to others.

This is a really worthwhile museum to visit. It is part of the Visitor Information Centre and close to the town centre. It takes a comprehensive approach to the wool industry in Australia that goes beyond the more commonly known narrative. I particularly liked its focus on contemporary times, both practices and policies, such as land overclearing, conservation and new technologies. The gift shop is also very good, and the staff were lovely.

The adjoining information centre has a great variety of souveniors. The display of trains and railway model is impressive. Outside garden area is stunning beautiful with poppy blossom.

A hidden gem in South Australia! Tantanoola Caves are absolutely stunning — the limestone formations are beautifully lit, making the whole experience magical. The cave is easily accessible and perfect for all ages. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. A must-visit if you're exploring the Limestone Coast!

Absolutely stunning cave inside. Our tour guide (Sue) was full of knowledge. Family ticket for 5 was only $49 and well worth the 30 minute tour. Kids thought we were only in there 10 minutes, they thought it was better than expected. It was cool getting to hold a piece of stalagmite.

This rating is for the cliff top walk not the caves. The walk is shoty 20 minutes, however it's a reasonable climb and some scrambling down steep rock steps. The latter does have a railing which helps.

This is a stunning cave, like one big open room with a small winding path. Tour guide is essentially there to explain history and after that, you are free to take images. Book ahead of time, i heard many come in whilst we were waiting for our tour that had to wait around longer than expected.

A stop in to the Tantanoola Caves info centre led to an unplanned cave tour. Im so glad I dropped by. This cave is unique among Australian caves and Im surprised I'd not heard of it before last week! Highly recommend a visit. It is a small cave if compared to other caves around the country but big on intriguing history, the historic human discovery and unique features not found anywhere else.

You can experience the amazing nature and wildlife and thanks to guided tour Tantanoola cave is spectacular and stunning and accessible to all abilities Opens everyday

Short tour and a small cave but it has alot to see, beautiful formations. Id definitely suggest you stop and have a cookie see..

What a great museum. Don't be misled by it being attached to the information centre. The museum is huge with an amazing array of exhibits to wander through. From a full size train engine, an enormous range of horse drawn carriages, shipwrecks, historical fashions, farm and forestry machinery and lots of local history information. If you like local museums, you will love this one.

Travelling and found a lovely golf course that earns it's title as the best country golf course in SA. We'll keep, challenging but fun. Friendly staff and great facilities.

This is really an excellent museum with plenty of local history and exhibitions of farm machinery, costumes and household items. Accessed through the Information centre, the museum utilizes multiple historical buildings and links them together in focusing on local life. Information pamphlet indicates a walking path that takes in all exhibits in sequence. It had everything to describe the settlement and early life of the region. Extensive displays were well set up with detailed information providing great examples of how hard life was in the 'early' days. The staff were very helpful and friendly, amenities were clean and there were fantastic souvenirs to purchase. well presented and displayed. Truly a hidden gem.

The Millicent Museum is amazing! Not what I expected to see in a small town museum halfway between Adelaide and Melbourne. 75 restored horse-drawn carriages of every type, and another 50 in various stages of restoration. Plus a huge collection of restored antique farm machinery, a massive collection of original period clothing, headgear etc. And even a locomotive in a recreated early 20th century Millicent railway

Great museum. Definitely worth the visit. A huge collection of horse buggies under one roof. Highly recommend.

There are lots of historical items relevant to Australian history that can be viewed. However, it is so sad that during the visit, there were no guests other than me. I guess people are no longer interested to visit museums due to loss of interests of modern people's enthusiasm towards artworks and history.

Great stop for our family (2 adults + 3 kids under 8). Displays numbered 1 to 16 so our kids enjoyed moving through each one. It was a good 30 min adventure for us. Was $25 entry for our family.

Nice walking spot across Rivoli Bay, especially after eating delicious seafood and chips at the local cafe. A few spots to sit along the 700+m long jetty, must be good fishing judging by the numbers of people fishing.

Definitely worth a visit! Second longest jetty in SA at 772 metres! It's such a nice walk in the morning - and we seen a couple of dolphins too! 😊

Lovely for a walk, awesome for fishing. Have caught mulloway, garfish and squid in years gone by.

Long pier/jetty. Good walk to the end with great views of the ocean. Well worth a look. Good parking, and location.

Water colour and clarity was amazing. Worth the long walk to the end.

Very pretty seaside town, friendly and easy to stroll around. Try the homemade pies and pasties at the shop over road from chemist. Lots of interesting things on sale. The museum is well worth a look, so many interesting displays, the home upstairs was an added bonus. Usually we do a quick walk around but we emerged almost 2 hours later. The jetty is something to see as well. Lovely buildings. Just a nice relaxing day.

We had a picnic on the Jetty with Fish & Chips from the local shop. Beautiful food with beautiful views. Had the rod in to wet the line but didn't stay long enough to catch anything Couldn't believe how blue the water was! Mesmerizing 😍

Beautiful coastal drive with plenty of pull off and parking areas. Excellent beaches. There is quite a number of access points to walk down for swim plus some vehicle access (4wd) points, as well. The beaches seem to slope down quite steeply, in general, so suspect the water gets deep quite quickly. Best to be mindful of that and if there is a large swell happening at the time. There are a few well protected areas from various land outcrops that would seem to offer a safer options for swimming if needed. Virtually no rubbish bins or facilities along the route so be mindful of that.

A lovely little drive just outside Beach Port. Several places to get out relax and walk it simply enjoy the scenery from car.

This scenic drive during dusk is a must do . Beautiful sunset views

Very nice 👌 well worth the short detour. There's a turnoff towards the end of the drive that looks a bit rocky but it gets very sandy and hard to turn around. Easy to get bogged,, especially if you don't deflate tyres.

Nice drive. Stopped at the light house (short stroll from car park) and the blow holes. Really a must do if in the area. Kids thought it was going to be boring, couldn't get them to leave the blow holes lol.

Absolutely beautiful scenic coastline and some awesome spots to get out and have a closer look at the crumbling shoreline and cracking waves by walking only a few hundred meters.

No trip to Beachport in the Limestone Coast is complete without a cruise along the Bowman scenic drive, a fully sealed route which follows the spectacular rugged coastline of the Southern Ocean. Wind your way around the bends overlooking the stunning ocean, idyllic beaches, rock pools and reefs. Take in the wonderful views from one of the many vantage points along the way or stop to enjoy a leisurely walk down to sandy beaches and wander out onto rocky outcrops at the Salmon Hole and Post Office Rock. The kids will love rolling down the steep sandy dunes or exploring in the rock pools. Scuba dive, surf fish or simply ponder the mystique of nature from one of the lookouts. Good vantage points to view passing Southern Right Whales. Please note there are dangerous undertows along these beaches. Take care at all times.
