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.

We had the 3 course lunch for a special occasion (2 people) and could not fault the service, atmosphere, surroundings and food. Special mention to the home baked bread and desert (Melba Tart) Would highly recommend for couples, small groups or a large function. Will be bringing the whole family back for devonshire tea.- soon.

My friend was very pleased with the attention to detail and the fact that she was wished a happy birthday as we checked in. The front of house staff were both friendly and efficient. Our Devonshire Tea was delicious and promptly served. The hour time slot was ample time to enjoy it. We have been here before and are planning to return again soon. A delightful experience.
