STRETCH YOUR LEGS
After a decadent lunch, stretch your legs and explore the area on foot! The Werribee River Trail is a great walk that winds alongside the Werribee River from Tarneit to Wyndham Park in Werribee.
Need some sea air? The Wyndham Bay Trail is a paved scenic route along the coastline of Port Phillip Bay between Werribee South Foreshore and Wyndham Harbour. Pop into The Elements Coastal Activity Park while you’re there for a salty spray and mini – yet mighty – 18-hole course!
Or admire stunning lagoons and saltmarsh on the Cheetham Wetlands Tower Walk.
A FOODIE HAVEN
Werribee has a thriving restaurant scene with a huge range of exciting options. Looking for a place where the food is spicy, and the cocktails are icy? Head to Casa Cantina, Werribee’s first late-night Mexican venue for a fun fiesta!
If fine dining is your thing, enjoy fresh, seasonal produce and the best of Australian and international wine at Joseph’s Dining at Lancemore Mansion Hotel. If you’re after something more casual, head to The Bridge Hotel, Tocca or The Park in the heart of Werribee city centre. Bon appétit!
NIGHT LIFE
Settle in for a nightcap at Corked Wine Bar, which offers carefully curated, local and international drops and if you’re a fan of craft beers, head over to Old Habits CBW in the main street of Werribee.
