What to do in the local area...

Historic Blackwood, once home to early settlers and gold prospectors, still has abundant riches to offer. Woodside Retreat is in fact built around an original timber prospector's cottage. A few of these timber cottages still exist as a glimpse into our gold mining past.

Beautiful bush walks begin just outside the back door. The Lerderderg River runs at the rear of the property and if you are feeling energetic, you may want to discover one of the many designated walking tracks that follow the river as it meanders through forest.

Of course you may want to just stay at home and let nature come to you. Wombats and kangaroos are regular visitors and our abundant bird life includes friendly kookaburras.

There are some excellent culinary options in Blackwood. The Blackwood Hotel provides excellent pub fare and a favourite with both locals and visitors is The Blackwood Merchant which provides gourmet treats for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are also the traditional tearooms of Cobb and Co Tea Rooms and the garden of St Erth Café, one of Victoria's more spectacular nurseries where Devonshire teas and tasty lunches are served in a garden setting.

Within 30 minutes you can be in Daylesford, Hepburn Springs, Woodend or Mount Macedon making Blackwood an ideal base for a wide range of activities.
