    We recently visited Melfort for the first time to celebrate my wife's birthday and had such a wonderful experience! We chose the set menu and it was amazing! The surprise gifts from the kitchen during the three course meal were just as amazing as the food that was so beautifully presented during each course and we enjoyed the MCC and Viognier wines while indulging in the tasty and well presented meals. It is not just the quality but also the generous servings leaving you in your happy place. I loved the open plan of the restaurant opening to the beautiful pond with ample shaded seating along the bank. I will certainly come again!

    Just go there, explore and see yourself. Amazing what these two young ones and their staff create. It’s all deriving from deep down of their hearts and that is what touches… I would say literally everyone. It’s not just having something nice to eat, it goes beyond that

    As someone that runs a business in the hospitality industry, Melfort succeeds in every way. Few places compare in the authentic care and interest the staff take in making your visit enjoyable, and the food you eat perfect in every way. In a valley brimming with 5 star restaurants and fine dining experiences, Melfort is a cut above the rest.
