Our first stop in Timboon certainly did not disappoint! Delicious coffee and a relaxing and friendly atmosphere welcomed us into town. The food was amazing too and the perfect start to the day!

We stopped into The Corner Store for some much-needed dinner supplies. We picked up a bottle of wine, as well as some local pasta and a pre-made sauce!

The Timboon Bike Trail starts right in town and runs for just under 20 kilometres each way. We didn’t do the full ride, but it was such an enjoyable way to explore the area. The trail takes you through cow fields, forests, and parts of the Great Ocean Road Food Trail, so there are plenty of great places to stop along the way. The path is mostly gravel and dirt, so mountain bikes are best — road bikes might find it tricky in spots. You can also hire e-bikes in town, which is a good option if you’re planning to do the full route—a great way to get outdoors and see more of the region.

A lovely spot to wander before starting the bike trail. We explored a few of the local stores. Milk and Honey Homewares was a favourite, and we grabbed a coffee from one of the nearby cafés. It’s a charming little town with plenty to see, and the perfect place to begin your ride or just enjoy a slow morning. The distillery is also a highlight (we've stopped there before!) and definitely worth the visit.

After lunch at the distillery, we opted for dessert at the ice creamery – a good decision. With flavours like gingerbread and apple pie, how could you not?

Timboon's renowned whisky distillery is a must. The food was outstanding, which we shared family style and followed with a whisky flight digestif to cap it off.
