Sweetdale Night Market

The Sweetdale Night Market is a fantastic place to find quality gifts, top-class food, and drinks, all while supporting local artisans in a beautiful forest setting. This pet-and-family-friendly market takes place on the last Friday of every month at the eco-focused Serenity Hills estate. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, the market offers live music, farm-fresh products, artisanal creations, and a welcoming local vibe. Kids’ activities, unique food stalls, and handcrafted goods make it a perfect outing for the whole family.

Sweet Gang & Friends Farm Stall

The Sweet Gang & Friends Farm Stall is a charming hub offering a delicious variety of locally-sourced food and handcrafted treasures, centred around the idea of ‘locals supporting local’. Holiday visitors can find fresh produce like butter, eggs, and baked goods from local suppliers, alongside gifts, crafts, and clothing. This farm stall, located adjacent to the award-winning The Packshed Restaurant, is open Wednesday to Sunday.

The Packshed Restaurant

Situated within Serenity Hills, The Packshed Restaurant is a must-try dining experience where internationally trained chefs prepare fine cuisine with local ingredients. The restaurant also hosts special events, such as a wine and dine evening on 27 November, featuring a curated menu paired with wines from Baleia Wine Estate.
