We bought pork butterfly steaks and two kinds of sausages when stocking up for a recent weekend in…read moreMornington. The spiced sausages were good but it was the lamb, fetta and olive breakfast sausages that really stole the show. Whoever thought of stuffing those ingredients in to a sausage casing should be given an award. Do check out the shelves filled with high quality pasta, vegetable stock and condiments and peak inside the fridges for cheese, salumi and things like smoked salmon.

Some call this cafe restaurant at the Heronswood estate, Heronswood Restaurant. Others call it…read moreFork to Fork. The latter name comes from the concept here. Organic veggies from very nearby on the estate itself. Garden fork to table fork and zero food miles. This is a seriously stunning location half way up Arthur's Seat with a great view of the bay. On a gorgeous warm, still sunny day like today, it was close to paradise. If you're astute enough and you score the right weather, there's a couple of tables here with magnificent views. They can be reserved. After a wander through the excellent nursery and a visit to the shop, we found ourselves at the restaurant for lunch. There's a good short menu here with ample to choose from. We shared the grazing plate and the pumpkin, leek and blue cheese tart and salad. The grazing plate features chicken roulade, goat cheese, carrot with aged cheddar, Heronswood egg, house relish, salad and bread. Both dishes were generously sized and very tasty. This is rustic, wholesome and really good food which we enjoyed thoroughly. The coffee to finish was very good too. This was a very pleasant lunch. Service was lovely, polite and efficient throughout. Heronswood is such a lovely place. We will return soon.

I enjoyed roaming around this store having a look at all the interesting things it had. The products it carries, you can tell are mainly geared towards what the locals tend to buy so they didn't have very much in the way speciality stuff which we're use to being able to get but it was just such a huge and beautiful store that it was very enjoyable to wander through. The only downside I saw was the distance from where we were staying which was definitely not their fault!

The Ashcombe Maze and Lavender Garden, which is a great place if you like the idea of a maze…read more The main hedge maze itself is fun to walk in, find the mosaic titles and figure your way out.There's a big land of the centre garden which features a small waterfall is very quaint and fairy tale like. The big land of Lower Woodlands of plenty of walking space and trees makes this part of the garden quite nice to walk along. Perhaps, I came at the wrong time of the year, because the nature wasn't at it's best when I visited this place yesterday. I am concerned about the edgy steel poles in the mazes, which I think poses a potential danger for kids. All it takes is for a kid to run around into the maze without caution and they can easily hit their head against this edgy pole. Mind you, there was more than one of these. There's also a Lavender Labyrinth, which sounds like something from a fairytale story but in reality, is untidy, small and not that exciting really. If lavender is your thing, you'll be better on visiting a proper Lavender farm. The tiny rose maze garden is nothing to be excited about, as it's plain and ordinary. The rose garden at Werribee Mansion is significantly better. Picnics aren't allowed at this place, but there is a cafe you can sit down to eat pies, ice-cream etc. Overall, the the place was quite disappointing particularly the maze, rose maze and Lavender Labyrinth. I wouldn't recommend this place for kids because of th hazardous spots. The prices follows. Adults $18.50 Children (4-15years) $10.00 Senior Card and Health Care Card Holders $16.50 Family 1 (2 Adults & 2 Children) $52.00 Family 2 (2 Adults & 3 Children) $60.00 Family 3 (2 Adults & 4 Children) $66.00 Children 0-3 years are free Perhaps, this place is nice in terms of mazes in Victoria and depending on the time of the year, can look beautiful in photos. I wouldn't recommend this place, unless they fix a few things to make the admission fee worth paying for. I think it's better to go the Royal Botancial Gardens is beautiful all year round and free of charge. Plus you can have a picnic too.

Besides being an absolutely beautiful area and giving us the opportunity to take some great pictures we had a blast. The hedge maze is the hardest and the most enjoyable but that doesn't mean the other mazes aren't challenging. I must admit we took some sick joy out of sitting in the centre of the rose maze watching others struggle to get to us! It's the small things in life! We only spent a few hours here and for $18.50 I kind of expected more, but I imagine with a family and kids you could make it a whole day out, otherwise there's plenty more to see and do in the area.
