the mill precinct, castlemaine

Set within an old wool mill, this precinct is a destination to explore! Eat, drink, shop, browse and play at one of the many shops and eateries that can be found here.

The centrepiece is a huge vintage bazaar where you will easily spend hours browsing the aisles of antiques and pre-loved goods. There are also multiple art galleries which are amazing to see.

For lunch, Mamma loves Shedshaker Brewing. They have a unique Italian-inspired menu that sets them apart from your usual lunch spot, with options like potato pizza, creamy gnocchi, and stuffed zucchini flowers. They also brew their hand-crafted beers on-site!

You will also find a Viennese coffee house where you can enjoy a traditional Austrian lunch, as well as an ice-cream window, cheesery, bakery and more!

The Mill is located across from the gorgeous Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, and a 90 minute drive north of Melbourne. Perfect for a day trip or stopover if you’re heading up to Bendigo.
