kallista tea rooms
The Kallista Tea Rooms is a must-visit on any trip to the Dandenong Ranges. With a menu full of variety, you can pop in for a cuppa and a scone or linger for a delicious lunch with wine—there’s something for everyone. Mamma loves the little play space, perfect for her almost 3-year-old to enjoy new toys, chalkboards, and colouring, while she savours her chicken salad in peace. Huge windows let you watch cockatoos and rosellas flit through the stunning trees outside, and rain, hail, or shine, the Tea Rooms have you covered—cozy up by the coonara inside or grab a blanket to enjoy the fresh mountain air outdoors. For a special treat, book their weekday High Tea at 10 am or 3 pm, and don’t forget to check out the locally made honey, hot chocolate, and artwork.

beagleys picnic ground
Beagleys Picnic Ground is a gem for a sunny day picnic in the Dandenongs! Nestled under towering mountain ash trees along Sassafras Creek, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing lunch. Grab a coffee or takeaway from nearby cafés, then choose from the picnic tables or spread your rug on the large grassy area—perfect for kicking the footy or just lounging. After eating, little explorers can wander along the creek trail as far as their legs allow and peek inside hollow trees for hidden “monsters.” If walking isn’t on the agenda, simply lie back on the picnic rug, close your eyes, and soak in the peaceful sounds of nature.
