We had a lovely peaceful stay at this gorgeous property. It had everything we needed and we fairly much bunked in for a couple of days blissfully.

Blue Hour Dreaming

Racing against the sunset, we came across this dead end road which had fields of tall golden grass and some pastel abandoned buildings. Although the sunset wasn't anything spectacular on that day, blue hour was dreamy enough to make it worth it!

Feeding Alpacas At The Big Bouquet

It was amazing seeing these cute, fluffy animals so close up and being able to feed them. We got super lucky as they are currently pregnant and usually do not come up to the fence at this time. The place is actually a huge flower farm (hence the name), and they have alpacas and a cafe where you can buy food for yourself and also the alpacas!

Jayden Ong Cellar Door

We visited winemaker Jayden Ong’s cellar door located just outside Healesville. Pro-tip, on weekends they offer up a delicious menu of the highest quality produce cooked over charcoal.

Payten Jones Wine Tasting

Plucked right out of the innercity trendy vibes of Brunswick, this epic little spot owned and run by a few of Healesville's locals offers an array of wines that taste as good as they look. A must-visit for any Wine-o checking out the region. With collaboration labels and art-work from people such as childhood memory and prolific artist Roland Harvy & a wine list that will have lovers of any assortment happy.

The Hive Healesville

The breaky burgers and the avo toast here were the bits to go for.
A cool little space offering some great plants and cute trinkets as well as great food and coffee to fuel up before your next adventure - not to mention probably the cheapest and best avo-toast I've had in years?!

Cheese Extravaganza

We delighted in a visit to Cheesemonger Sophie's, a haven for cheese enthusiasts. The shop was a treasure trove of artisanal cheeses, offering a tantalizing array of flavors and textures. On top of that, they have great baguettes and sandwiches!
