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.

A stylishly appointed boutique hotel positioned perfectly in the main street of Daylesford…read more Each room at the hotel is eclectically styled. The Alpha Room was warm and masculine, decorated in dark browns and black furnishings. A large bedroom with a free standing black bath tub (also a spa) completes the space. Dining options at Frangos are numerous. A flourishing garden courtyard, cocktail bar and modern dining areas offer perfect viewpoints to people watch and explore the food and drink selection. A great base to explore Daylesford and the Hepburn Springs mineral spa areas.

Waitress did her best and when paying the so called Manager did not asked how was our meals for obvious reasons. The with plethora of restaurants in this region wouldn't put this as our highest option.

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.

Yeah, it certainly didn't stand out in my mind, particularly since the beer selection was somewhat limited, but that is generally to be expected when you aren't in the inner city. It's one of those places that I am likely to pass on in the future.

Of course my friends and I chose the coldest weekend to make the 1.5 hour drive to Daylesford in…read morethe rain. We were in for a big surprise! The drive itself is easy, jump on the hume and turn off towards Daylesford. This holiday park is only 3.3 km from the nearest coles so don't worry, you are still close to civilisation. Before arriving, the owner called to let me know that our campsite trees were being chopped so she offered us other alternatives and was really friendly. Arriving around 9:30pm, it was raining but we were determined to set up out 5 person tent. We didn't need to check in as we had already pre-paid knowing we were arriving late. It seemed pretty quiet and we were the only tent campers there. I will cut to the chase, it was freezing (it is winter here). After surviving the first night, I woke up to a beauuutiful rainy morning, I took my umbrella and gum boots (we seemed to have chosen the wettest camp spot in the dark) and roamed around. We met one of the staff and because our site was so muddy, he brought us planks of wood to make a bridge! Very helpful. The holiday park has a massive lake where you can go canoe, a kiosk for drinks and snacks but that isn't all! There are a few small kitchens with kettles, microwaves, bbq's (electric and gas), the amenities are simple but clean too. At each site, you can have an open fire in the fire pit which is really handy for cooking/keeping warm. During my morning walk, I saw: Plenty of rozelles and kookaburras Wild Peacock Kangaroos on the oval You can go hiking, walk to the mineral springs and so much more. You can even bring small dogs on leads. There are also plenty of activities to do around the Daylesford area, but due to the weather, we stood next to the fire pitt for most of the trip. You know what the best part of the trip was though? Though I looked ridiculous in gum boots and a bright red puffy jacket, I was so happy doing something different and I even got to see SNOW.
