PAY IT FORWARD

in Trentham Words by Madeleine Blake

It's impossible not to be awed by Trentham’s sheer beauty. Be it the charming gold rush era streetscape, beautiful gardens and tree-lined streets, or its position – nestled on the edge of the Wombat State Forest. On arrival, it doesn’t take long to realise this tiny town packs a fair punch when it comes to world-class food experiences, boutique shopping, art galleries and nature-based experiences. Famous names and locations such as Trentham Falls, Red Beard Bakery and Annie Smithers’ du Fermier have cemented Trentham’s place on the map. However there are plenty more reasons to visit this happening little hamlet.

STAY We start our journey with a sensory filled stay at the spell-binding Acre of Roses, located within a micro flower farm, which is indeed an ‘acre of roses’. The property features two luxurious self-contained accommodation options, both which have been meticulously decorated and styled. Choose from the beautifully restored 1860s Miner's Cottage or follow the garden path to The Potting Shed, which features a rustic garden themed design. Only a stone’s throw from Trentham’s main street, it’s a short walk from here into town.

BRUNCH

We chatted with some of the locals to get the inside word on where to visit. Here a few of them ‘Pay it Forward’, demonstrating what the ideal day in Trentham looks like.

“For quality coffee, breakfast, brunch and lunch we recommend Trentham General. Mitch and the team are well-loved, local, hospitality heroes. For something with a little more nightlife sparkle, try Mitch’s latest venture Mr Peacock Pizzeria & Wine Bar. Trentham’s spoilt with the very best of contemporary country hospitality and cuisine." - Sandy Cummins, Acre of Roses Trentham General, 37A High Street, Trentham, 03 5424 1538 Q trentham.general

"A friendly local grocer with a vast and vibrant array of fresh produce, cheeses, locally-sourced goods and cured meats. With former chef Reggie Webb at the helm offering sound advice on all things food, Ruby Goose Foods is a must visit when in Trentham. This cute store is open every day, so be sure to pop in and do your weekly shop, and grab a curated picnic pack or just pick up the last minute things for dinner, you will not be disappointed. ” - Mitchell Reed Roger, Trentham General
