Settlers Restaurant (licenced)
Be transported back in time to the 1800s. Exchange you dollars for pence, experience the 1800s atmosphere, meet locals in period dress, get on the soap box and spin a yarn, enjoy the lamplight and sit around the open fire reading real local news of 1882. The full experience is available during the evening meal or drop in to check it out at lunch or morning tea.

Visit one or more of the local galleries and workshop outlets. See Artifak Gallery for details or to arrange visits.
Cradle Mountain
Use Mountain View Country Inn as your ideal base to explore Cradle Mountain. It only take 1 hour 30 minutes to Cradle Mountain, via Sheffield, the town of Murals. Take in a horse draw carriage viewing of the murals. Don't forget to explore the hillsides on the way, you'll find mazes, alpacas, steam trains and platypus. On your way back you might like to include the caves and Mole Creek area.
Historic Deloraine & District
It has been classified by the National Trust as a town of historical significance with building dated back to the 1830's. Visit the growing number of local antique and brickabrac shops.
See the large old stately homes, which can be visited across the district. These were the original homesteads when the district was settled, and ownership of some is still held still in the original family. Most of these are not open to the public as they are still private residences, but are well worth a 'drive-by' to get a good feeling for the history of the district.
