Bacchus Marsh

A hidden gem nestled in the Wombat State Forest, the Blackwood Hotel is a rustic and welcoming country pub brimming with old-world charm and local flavour. With its iconic corrugated iron roof, bush beer garden, and classic front bar, this historic venue is a favourite among hikers, bikers, and weekend road trippers. Hosting regular live music, hearty pub fare, and friendly locals, it’s the kind of place where the fire’s warm, the beers are cold, and the stories flow freely.
