Once the home of Dame Nellie Melba, Coombe Yarra Valley is a property with an unrivalled provenance. Seven acres of stunning gardens and beautifully appointed facilities in the restored motor house and clock tower offer a truly unique gourmet and cultural experience.

Located within the restored motor house and historic clock tower and under the helm of Chef Neil Cunningham, our restaurant serves Contemporary Modern Australian a la carte menu options.

An inspiring selection of seasonal and estate grown produce is on offer for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea 5 days a week.

The restaurant is modern, spacious yet intimate and overlooks the landscaped market-style courtyard of the beautifully restored facilities. The view from the conservatory is of the Coombe cottage garden ‘avenue’ and gives glimpses of the oldest swimming pool in Victoria.

This was a lovely experience from the pretty setting to the excellent wait staff and the delicious food. We were pleasantly surprised that it was relatively quiet, and we could enjoy our Christmas catch up with no difficulty hearing each other. I would thoroughly recommend this venue for a special occasion lunch.

Stunning venue but view was a neat and clean but none the less just a gravel courtyard.l (tables face outside which for table intimacy I get, just underwhelming view) The gardens and estate not visible. However the indoors was stunning, staff great and food amazing. The beef was unbelievable
