  • Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden (Olinda Golf Course, Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden)

    Olinda Golf Clubhouse and Cafe set for revival

    A new dining destination is coming to Olinda. Alchemy Distillers Pty Ltd will set up shop in the former Olinda Golf Course Clubhouse and Café, providing a brand-new café and dining experience. The building will undergo renovations before opening.
     
    In the interim, Alchemy Distillers Pty Ltd will provide a coffee offering for visitors on site, at a new temporary kiosk (located near the playspace entrance).  This kiosk is planned to open shortly, after receiving final council planning approvals (early-April 2025).
     
    Parks Victoria would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Oscar Vintage Coffee, who had provided the community with great coffee over the past seven years at the precinct.  Oscar Vintage Coffee is now taking a well-deserved break and concluded their coffee offering on 31 March 2025.
