things to do
The Wander Inn is perfect for lunch if you are staying in Halls Gap - take the drive on Mt Victory Rd “over the mountain” and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Visit the picturesque waterfalls on the sunny side of the Grampians – Burrong Falls, Beehive Falls, Fish Falls or the iconic Mackenzie Falls – and “Wander Inn” for a refreshing milkshake.
Ideally located around 30 minutes from Horsham, Dadswells Bridge and Stawell, and less than an hour from Ararat or Hamilton, the Wander Inn is an ideal stopping point on any day trip to the Grampians. Visit Grampians to see an extensive list of things to do and see on the way.
For walkers and mountain-bikers, the Mackenzie River/Bun-nah Trail starts less than 500m from our front door. The 10.5km trail takes up where the original ‘Back Track’ left off 100-years-ago when it was a route for walkers, horses, carriages, and wagon teams into the Central Grampians Ranges. Today, the route has been developed into a trail for visitors to enjoy the spectacular scenery of the Grampians and learn about its history as they travel between the Wartook Valley and Zumsteins Picnic Area.

Awesome lunch. Food was great and the outdoor and indoor dining options fantastic. Customer service was a highlight of our visit. My 4 year old was most welcome, with pencils and colouring books provided. Staff went out of their way to cut up fresh fruit when he requested that rather than chips or pizza. They were so friendly and helpful, couldn’t have been more pleased. Highly recommend!!

Stopped fora coffee yesterday. Ended up staying for lunch as the coffee was great. Wife and I share a delicious Lamb pizza and our daughter a bowl of chips. Best chips in the Grampians how chips should be, crispy, chunky, soft and fluffy in the middle. Friendly courteous staff. We'll be back for sure.
