Bushwalking and Horse Trails

Make sure you take your time to read some of the history boards scattered throughout the reserve. They tell a great story and give a good insight into the history of the area.

Food scene

Set in one of the early buildings of Jindivick, this cosy little cottage is home to a lovely family run cafe owned by locals Sue and Brian. Either sit inside by the open fire place or outside in the lovely garden and enjoy one of the many delicious items of their menu. They do great burgers, home made cakes and a spectacular Devonshire Tea. This is the only Cafe in Jindivick, so it’s a must visit.

Farm to plate is their mantra and you know it’s fresh when you can see the farm out the window. All of their own produce or locally sourced from Gippsland. They also have their own vineyard and offer all of their wines on the menu.
