It's a quiet retreat, conveniently situated within walking distance of Kyneton's main thoroughfare, striking a good balance for exploring the town and finding peace. The recent upgrades, including new furnishings and an inviting outdoor seating area, further solidify this as a place I'd be keen to revisit.”
