West Melbourne and Beyond

Top of the Range

Top of the Range, located in the scenic Macedon Ranges of Victoria, Australia, stands as a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike. This charming establishment offers an unbeatable combination of breathtaking views, delightful cuisine, information centre and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Perched at a high vantage point, it provides guests with an opportunity to gaze out over the lush, rolling hills and dense forests that characterize the region. A bit low-fi in character, Top of the Range matches its countryside locale perfectly.

The menu, rich with local produce and seasonal flavours, caters to a variety of tastes, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy. Relax with a hearty lunch, local wine or beer, homemade cakes or have their famed Devonshire tea.

Top of the Range is an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding natural wonders, including the famous Memorial Cross and numerous walking trails.

Have your coffee before or after your walk or just have a little relaxation time while you enjoy the view. There are a few little knick knacks to browse and purchase if you are that kind of person while you are there as well.
