Great idea for the upcoming Labour day weekend. Let’s all help clear up our coastlines.

Whilst I sit at this table alone, I smile at the memories of tables full with friends, family and good food.
Anyone passing by will think I’m nuts as I remember jokes, fun times and the feeling of connectivity and love.
I also smile as I know these times will come again, we all just need to dig deep, hold on to the memories and know that when the time comes, the food will taste that bit better, the jokes a bit funnier and the odd annoying family member that bit less annoying.
Ok, I know that last one is a bit of a stretch 🤣

So popped to the men’s shed to pick up a couple of wooden mice and came back with this little lot! Been looking for a boot remover for years - can’t wait to give it to my friend who lives on a farm and always struggles getting boots off with arms full of produce ❤️

Thanks to Venus Bay Men’s Shed 😊

Fabulous news!

The time has finally come to announce that we are opening as of today!!!!

The bar is Open from 4pm this afternoon, and a dinner service will run starting at 5.45.
Please note: covid restrictions apply so we have occupancy quotas to follow in the bar (the deck is open and a new window service is running, however meals will only be available in the bistro)

We have limited seating in the bistro. Two meal sessions are available. The first: 5.45-7.15 and the second: 7.30 onwards. Bookings are essential for dining in, and walk ins wanting meals will not be accepted. Please call 56635211 to book.

Opening over one of the busiest weekends of the year has not been, and will not be an easy task with renovations ongoing, so we ask that all of your patience and support continues through this time.

We can’t wait to see you all throughout the weekend!
Cheers,
The Riverview Management 🍻

Recycling bins out every week through January.

We've only just had Christmas, but already we're racing into the new year!

(it's no) drama Artistic Director Samara Cunningham has been hard at work with a small crew from our ensemble to deliver inclusive workshops at the inaugural Fish Creek Circus Day, scheduled for the 25th Jan.

All of the listed circus workshops are inclusive and accessible. However, the 11am workshop will be designed especially for young people with disability. So if you know a young person who might be interested in a circus workshop with a Melbourne circus artist experienced in inclusive circus arts, then spread the word. 🙌🏼

Great weekend getting the property freshened up and ready for the next guests.
Love these fabulous wombat watercolours painted for me by the fabulous Meg Hodge
(Excuse the blue frame - she was still painting for that frame as I was laying these out 😊)

Love fresh, local produce!
So great to have farmers markets back open again and the ability to shop locally.

13/11/2020

Not sure about you, but to me, this mumma wombat looks pretty happy to be back.

We are booked out for the whole of the December/January school holidays but currently have availability for Easter. Enquiries are flying in so if you do want to visit our beautiful Venus Bay - get in fast!

Firey skies tonight over Venus Bay.

Growing up I was told:

‘red sky at night, Shepherds delight, red sky in the morning, shepherds warning’

Well, the shepherds can sleep well tonight 😊

A splash of colour in the border at Wombat Digs. Thankfully we planted hardy, low maintenance varieties as they’ve had to pretty much fend for themselves during lockdown!

Stunning sunset at Venus Bay last night.
Amidst all the craziness and uncertainty at the moment, there is something grounding and calming about seeing the sun go down over the water.

Today you may find Isolation buddies In both Tarwin and Venus Bay.

Please take a new friend home to sit in the sun with, talk to and have a sip of water with.

* Can be found on the bench out the front of The Bird and Wolf Cafe and The Venus Bay General Store.

It’s fair to say it’s a been a bit wet recently! Looking forward to the end of lockdown so we can all enjoy Venus Bay whatever the weather.
