Cavendish
FEELS LIKE river stories and red gums
Cavendish moves to the slower rhythm of the Wannon River, where red gums shade the banks and stories linger along the water’s edge. The Settlers Walk traces local history past the old gaol and settler’s cottage, offering an easy, family-friendly way to connect with the town’s past.
The Bunyip Hotel anchors the main street. Former head chef of an illustrious Sydney restaurant, James Campbell now heads up and delivers delectable dishes, all for your eating pleasure at the Bunyip Hotel. This hospitable hotel perfectly utilises all the fresh and fabulous produce available to this ripe region and James expertly uses his culinary flare to turn it into a mouth-watering, ever-changing menu. Each spring, the Red Gum Festival celebrates community creativity beneath ancient trees. Beyond town, open country leads toward Rocklands Reservoir, a drawcard for camping and fishing when conditions are right.
