About The Rabbit Hole Inn at Harvest Home

Discover a one-of-a-kind heritage-listed venue in regional Victoria at The Rabbit Hole Inn at Harvest Home on Bank Street in Avenel. Oozing French countryside charm and a hint of old-world Boheme, this is the ideal spot to wine, dine and party among flagstone floors, recycled timber and potted greenery, or sip a cocktail alfresco and soak up rays. With a rich and varied history, this watering hole has been lovingly transformed into a restaurant, boutique hotel, vibrant garden and events venue; expect an ever-changing menu featuring French and Italian modern fare created with local, homegrown, seasonal produce. Dive right in with slow-cooked pork noisettes, sauce gribiche, mustard cress and shallot salad; before poached barramundi, leeks, potato Parisian, blue swimmer crab and fish broth.

Absolutely beautiful
We stopped in for Sunday breakfast and sat under the trees in the stunning gardens. Incredible food and coffee, with fantastic staff and service.

Divine boutique setting and delicious food
I diner here on a Saturday for lunch with my family from Melbourne and we sat in the courtyard under the tree. The table was set beautifully, with a white tablecloth, and attention to detail. Our server was attentive and efficient and the pasta dishes we ordered were beautifully plated. I highly recommend The Rabbit Hole Inn at Harvest Home for the atmosphere, service and delicious and locally sourced food.

Stunning location
We love the heritage surroundings of this stunning location. The meals are to die for, every time we return there is a new menu item, each one better than the last. The steak is always perfectly cooked, with a selection of complimentary sauces or jus.
We have eaten in the gardens quite often, can’t wait to eat in front of the fire in winter.

Fit for a queen
Well worth the visit. Our lunch today was great, and so much passion from the owners, who came out and had a lovely chat with our table. Thank you for a memorable visit!

Sensational!
Everything on this menu is homemade, and made well. It was delicious, full of flavour, and the gardens are just stunning to sit and relax with a glass of wine! We will definitely return. We could taste every ounce of care and love that went into our meals.
