Oak Avenue: it’s a Cullinan affair!

Are you planning on visiting Little Eden soon? To enrich your holiday experience – we have selected a few unique places and some old-time favourites to visit on Cullinan’s Victorian-inspired main road called Oak Avenue.

Cullinan

The tall lush Oak trees stand proud down the historic Oak Avenue street, which is also rightfully named after the magnificent century-old trees. Pleated into this avenue, you will also notice Cullinan’s main road is lined with Jacarandas, which are predominantly noticeable during October when they pop out their heads to create the most spectacular display.  If you’re planning a destination lunch, or you would like to try some freshly baked pâtissière or perhaps buy a few novelty items for family or friends, then Oak Avenue will be worth the trip.

Oak Avenue, is a living museum filled with cafés, a brewery, an antique shop, gift shops and so much more. Take a lazy stroll down this historic street and explore the town encapsulated in rich history and breathtaking charm.

Here are a few of our favourite Oak Avenue shops and eateries:
  • Pop into The Cockpit Brewhouse and allow your taste buds to soak up some cold, crisp craft beer (vegan-friendly options available), mouth-watering food, and excellent live entertainment! For those really hot summer days, The Brewhouse is equipped with a mist spray system to ensure you stay cool and your brew stays frosty! We recommend that you go and experience this vibey brewhouse for yourself!

This popular restaurant is definitely worth visiting if you want to try some authentic Greek cuisine like Dolmades, Befteki, Moussaka or Pastitio.
