Cobden is the home of Western Star Butter an iconic Australian brand that has been made with the same fresh local ingredients for 100 years. The town is surrounded by the rolling hills and volcanic lakes that commence just north of the coast, located just 30 minutes north of the Great Ocean Road and 2.5 hours from Melbourne via the Princes Hwy Cobden is an ideal base for a Great Ocean Road adventure. Cobden's significant "making" history can also be enjoyed at the wonderful Pioneer Dairy Park whose opening times co-incide with it's neighbour the iconic Cobden Miniature Railway on the 3rd Sunday of every month.

The fertile soil and quality produce of the volcanic hills and plains that surround Cobden have attracted a group of talented artisan producers that can be visited at nearby farmgates and cellar doors. 

The 12 Apostles Gourmet Trail extends north of the coast from Princetown and Port Campbell towards Cobden. Be sure to look for Aldo's Olives products in town and at cellar doors on the trail. Why not book a weekend in Cobden and take in some gourmet stops on route to the 12 Apostles? Still hungry after some coastal walks then call into Timboon on the way back from London Bridge before returning to the comforts of your Cobden Accommodation.
