Friendly staff, informative and entertaining brewery tour with fabulous tastings. We spent a lovely afternoon here...we were in a group of 7...we loved the tastings so much we bought all the beers we didn't sample and continued the beer tasting back at our accommodation. Loved the various flavours and art work.

Lovely anytime of the year and especially when the cherry blossom are in full bloom (mid September). There is a very good cafe, a plant nursery and other activities throughout the year

Cannon Point Walkway

Reviewed By cpcog - Wellington, New Zealand

We took the bus 110 and then walked to the Cannon Point Walkway. you will pass some residence area. We just walked till Birchville Dam as it would be family family. flat and easy. You can go and return in about 1 hours if you walk and enjoy the view in a comfortable pace. Once you arrive the entrance, you can see the swinging bridge. It isn't long but swing quite a lot when you walk. Children would find it is exciting. In the way to the dam, you will cross a few more wooden bridges. The view is nice. You would feel walking inside a forest. the sound of the stream calm you down. The dam doesn't work anymore so you will see a concrete wall instead of a dam. however, the view from the top is still nice in my opinion. It is worth to go! Next time, we might keep walking and till the top of the hill. Beware some trails would be more advanced that might not be suitable for everyone! No toilets in the middle so you better go beforehand. Bring enough water or some snack with you if you want to explore more after the dam.
