The Mill Cottage - Ballan

Lovely little cafe to eat at with a small but regularly changing menu and just a wonderful environment to be in. Beautiful inside and out, with good wait staff.

Friendly staff and the owner is on the floor working with them; great see such a vibrant team. There is a great dinning area at the back that is very private. They also have a large outdoor area perfect for a sunny day.

The Mill Cottage is one of three buildings lovingly restored and transformed into classy diverse venues : a cafe, quilting shop gallery and a quilters B B. Great coffee and cakes and a good menu. Staff are very friendly and they give you a discount when you bring your own coffee cup! The three locations have become an attraction for people from all over Australia and further abroad. Quilting workshops and exhibitions are very popular and have put Ballan on the map.

This is a lovely little cafe with a beautiful rose garden. Traditional fare which can be hit and miss. Generally very good but nothing exceptional but the atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are kind.

A brilliant group of business in Ballan where you can eat in the restaurant, learn to sew and buy your fabric at the cottage Shop, or start the night in their accommodation. Located in the old Freemasons Hall and adjoining properties there is plenty of history here. The monthly farmers market is held in the grounds of the cafe in the carpark at the rear of the cafe, and on the street out front.
