With views to the Macedon Ranges and surrounding rural landscape, this little hamlet offers historic architecture and a relaxed country attitude.

Affectionately known as ‘Riddells’ by the locals, it’s the perfect village to base yourself for beautiful country drives, quiet escapes and cellar door adventures.

Evidence of a bygone era can be found at the Walter J Smith Reserve on the Main Road. Here you’ll find a heritage-listed rail bridge spanning Riddells Creek. Constructed in 1859, it’s a fine example of 19th century bridge design and is one of the earliest bridges of its type constructed in Victoria.

The reserve is home to ducks and geese and shady trees. It’s the perfect spot to spread a picnic blanket.

Only a "stone's throw" from Melbourne (about 65km), it's an easy drive for a day trip to visit our nursery.

While you're out this way buying the ideal bamboo for your garden, take some time to explore the surrounding countryside and townships - there's a lot to discover!
