What travellers are saying
- Neil LLake Forest, IL26 contributionsGreat place to hike and spend the morning. We were impressed how well maintained the trails were and how beautiful the scenery was. Fun trip.Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Danielle DPerth, Australia25 contributionsCody our guide was very knowledgeable and loves a good dad joke. Unfortunately the processing plant was closed on Sundays. However, it didn't take away the taste of the beer at the end of the tour.Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WheelsfgToowoomba35 contributionsEnjoyed a walk through this museum. Has many different exhibitions on display. Staff welcoming and helpful. A little difficult to find when using google maps. It’s actually on the UTAS grounds.Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JWalkSydney, Australia6 contributionsWe did a self drive winery tour of the Tamar valley and it was so great. Lots of little quirky wineries run by the couples that own them.

- javery67Hunter Valley, Australia204 contributionsLeft Launceston for our next destination and stopped here on the way through. One of the more beautifully presented wineries I've visited in Australia. Didn't have a booking but as we were first there the friendly and helpful staff gladly fitted us in. The tasting experience was quite good with some different and lovely wines. We bought several bottles here but they don't discount or waive the tasting fee 🤔. Didn't have time for lunch but the restaurant looked nice. Wasn't overly interested with their menu thought. However if you like your wine and food then definitely check it out.Written 11 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- I2198NYsharonjBrisbane, Australia24 contributionsAmazing to have nature close to the city. Wonderful welcoming people at the chairlift booth. Such a surprising little place to visit with family or by yourself. Easy walk from Cbd. Restaurant available if you have time to stop. Came highly recommended by a local.Written 5 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Very old fashioned and enjoyable .Written 6 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Liisa and Dave BAdelaide, Australia2,506 contributionsWe drove past here each day during our stay in Rosevears and made a point of checking it out. Easy parking. The walk was much longer than we expected which we were happy with. Very peaceful. A good variety of birds to be seen. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills. Toilets were located at the far end of the walk and I was pleasantly surprised to see a picnic and BBQ area there also. Well worth stopping for 💕Written 25 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ToowoombatouristToowoomba, Australia301 contributionsA fairly easy walk alongside a running creek, through a lovely rainforest area, to reach two beautiful waterfalls. The walk is mostly accessible by prams or wheelchairs until you get closer and need to climb some stairs and uneven stone steps to reach the waterfalls. Plenty of rocks to clamber over when you get to the falls. Just out of Lilydale and a short drive from Launceston - worth the effort.Written 16 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David HouriganMelbourne, Australia22 contributionsBeautiful designs on display, and a good range of stylish gifts. The building itself is lovely to explore.Written 26 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
