Tuesday lunch. food was great…read more Service amazing despite the long wait Nice live music
I was so glad that Google Maps have incorrectly placed this marker on the map (which has since been…read morerectified after I notified them), putting it a lot further north than it actually was. I had just reached the bottom of Mount Macedon and wanted to have a beer at the two pubs here, but was worried that I was going to miss the train. Fortunately, when I turned onto Mount Macedon road, there it was, in the direction of the railway station. This was certainly a really nice pub, and has been done up a lot since the Google car went past. There is an awesome deck out the front, and a garden out the back for engagement parties (there was one on at the time). Mind you, when I went inside to order a beer the bar was crowded with the regulars, all sitting there drinking their beers, and the bartender new exactly what they wanted. However, it is a great little pub in one of those towns that Melburinans (like me) visit for weekend daytrips.

I have to admit that this is the better pub in Gisborne, even if it is just because it has, well,…read moresome nice beers available. Then again, I do happen to be a beer snob, so nice beers on tap is something that I definitely appreciate. They also have a couple of beer gardens, though I have to admit that I found the lower one to be much nicer, and pleasant. The service was pretty good as well, so it is definitely a place to check out.

I remember first hearing about Lake House when I was 14. My love of food and cookery was evolving…read moreat the time and I heard of a magical place, near a lake, serving up some of the best cuisine in the country. I didn't get to visit for 20 years but finally, this past May, I was able to tick it off my list of must-do Victorian experiences. My favourite +1 and I have birthday's one day apart so we took each other here for a two day getaway, complete with dining experiences and massages. Just hours from Melbourne, it was the perfect way to relax and celebrate together. What I loved about the experience was that you really didn't need to leave if you didn't want to. The rooms have simple mini bar supplies, but you can always order room service if you want something more substantial. The bathrooms are positively divine and we spent hours soaking in the tub over the weekend in between reading sessions in the living space, strolls around the lake and eating excursions in the main restaurant. Breakfast is served for a number of hours and is so incredibly generous that you can skip lunch altogether then hold out to dinner time which will no doubt be over-indulgent if you've booked yourself in for dinner. A visit here will mean you probably eat, and drink, more than you thought humanly possible but hey that's what weekend getaways are all about, right? This isn't a bargain experience, but you pay for indulgence and the opportunity to truly relax and get away from it all. Forget gifts, this is the kind of birthday present I want every year
Where on Earth do I start...?…read more The Lake House would have the be the best restaurant I've been to in Melbourne (my view - better than Vue de Monde, better than Attica) and only second in my journey so far to Daniel in New York. Food was simply stunning. Between us we had delicious things like tempura quail; 12 hour roast suckling; rabbit cassoulet; a berry-themed share plate dessert with black forest cake, deconstructed strawberry shortcake, raspberry sorbet and raspberry and champagne jelly; lemon and lime panna cotta; and an out-of-this-world antipasto plate with duck and rabbit pates and terrines and heavenly salumi. Petit fours consisted of toffee popcorn, strawberry fudge, shortbread and jellies. Cocktails and organic teas were also amazing. In summer, try to have a drink on the deck before being seated. Atmosphere was upmarket but relaxed. We had a fantastic table in front of the bread and petit four station, which overlooked the lake and hillside. Staff were attentive, friendly and very professional. Cutlery, plates and other trimmings were very special. I fell in love with the multicoloured glass salt, pepper and sugar bowls (which, coincidentally, were also for sale at the Lake House store). It's expensive, but not as expensive as the city hatted restaurants. In my opinion, you don't need an excuse to go to the Lake House; just do it for yourself because you certainly won't regret it (but leave any kids at home)...
This is one of those pubs that appears to have been here for ages, though with the growth of the…read moreouter suburbs, has had a complete revamp and extension. Okay, I can't say that there is anything all that fantastic about this place - it pretty much has everything that you would expect from a suburban pub, such as a gaming lounge, a rather large sports bar, and at least two restaurants (though they are probably the same restaurant, it's just that they are in two, or even three, rooms). I've only been to this place a couple of times, and that was because I was on the bus and wanted to get off to, well, check it out. It certainly is pretty popular with the locals, but that probably has something to do with it being the only pub for miles around.
Went there for lunch. Bistro was closed but lounge bar was open so ordered meals for 4 and drinks…read more A stuff up with the ordering system meant we waited over an hour for the meals. They gave us a free round of drinks by way of apology for that. When the meals finally arrived both snitzels were good without being great but the steak sandwiches were poor. Served in ciabatta bread on a wooden board they were overworked, barely warm, difficult to eat and the steak resembled leather. It should be difficult to utterly stuff up a pub classic but they managed it. I've eaten there before and it was far better so 3 stars is being generous assuming today was an off day.
I've noticed that in regional Victoria it is not uncommon to find a pub directly opposite the…read morerailway station. That is probably the best position for a pub because it means all of the workers will pop in here for a drink after a long train journey. When my parent's came over to Melbourne recently and stayed at my Uncle's place, it gave me a great excuse to come up here and have a drink. Mind you my auntie was quite surprised to find out that I knew that there was a pub opposite the railway station, but as my Dad mentioned, I happen to know where all of the pubs are. This was a pretty nice pub, and the cheerful welcome I received when I stepped in through the door goes to show, once again, that country pubs are quite different to their metropolitan counterparts (I never receive a hearty welcome when I walk into the Transit Bar). There is also a beer garden, but I would probably move away from 'beer garden' to describe it more like a backyard, something else that seems to be common with pubs out here.
With new owners and a few renovations, this is the best proper country pub in the area. A full bar…read morewith plenty of icy cold beer on tap will hit the spot nicely. Cameron and the team serve up the usual suspects you'd expect from good pub grub as well as seasonal additions and specials on the menu board. From the beef burger to the chicken parma or the amazing lamb shanks you're in for a treat. The atmosphere is great with 4 large screens around the walls so you won't miss any of the action from your favourite sports team. In winter grab a beer and warm up around the circular open fireplace, or head out to the beer garden. Weekly live music from some of the finest bands. Shannon Noll has even dropped in for the night! So drop in and say g'day to the manager Corey and you may even run into an AFL legend or two!

When I went to book it on Stayz, Sandra from Dayget.com.au answered my request by informing that Dayget.com.au would be finalising the booking and the price was now several hundred dollars more. I told her that was false advertising and very misleading but she didn't seen to care or offer a reasonable explanation for the difference in cost. This experience has put me off booking anything in Dalesford especially properties advertised on this dodgy site. AVOID Dayget.com.au at all cost!!!! They advertise one price on Stayz (to draw you in) and then refuse to honour that price when you make the booking. They tell you Stayz prices are indicative only and the booking itself must go through Dayget.com.au which in turn ups the price by at least several hundred (some properties end up almost double the price)... What sort of crappy booking agent is this? I am now looking for properties in nearby towns just so I don't have to go through Dayget.com.au.
