We start our journey with a sensory filled stay at the spell-binding Acre of Roses, located within a micro flower farm, which is indeed an ‘acre of roses’. The property features two luxurious self-contained accommodation options, both which have been meticulously decorated and styled. Choose from the beautifully restored 1860s Miner’s Cottage or follow the garden path to The Potting Shed, which features a rustic garden themed design. Only a stone’s throw from Trentham’s main street, it’s a short walk from here into town.

“For quality coffee, breakfast, brunch and lunch we recommend Trentham General. Mitch and the team are well-loved, local, hospitality heroes. For something with a little more nightlife sparkle, try Mitch’s latest venture Mr Peacock Pizzeria & Wine Bar. Trentham’s spoilt with the very best of contemporary country hospitality and cuisine.”
– Sandy Cummins, Acre of Roses

“A friendly local grocer with a vast and vibrant array of fresh produce, cheeses, locally-sourced goods and cured meats. With former chef Reggie Webb at the helm offering sound advice on all things food, Ruby Goose Foods is a must visit when in Trentham. This cute store is open every day, so be sure to pop in and do your weekly shop, and grab a curated picnic pack or just pick up the last minute things for dinner, you will not be disappointed. ”
– Mitchell Reed Roger, Trentham General

“My ‘shop neighbours’ here in Trentham are kooky at Kuki with an eclectic array of clothing, Balinese doorways, furniture, objects, design and items new and old not to be found anywhere else. This carefully curated collection of items should be a destination venue for lovers of the unique and the extraordinary.
The special combination of worldly miscellany in one space will mean that you won’t leave the store empty handed… and you’ll likely come back for more.”
– Reggie Webb, Ruby Goose Foods

“How lucky we are in Trentham to have the fabulous ladies at The Green Store. This wonderful shop, located in Market Street, provides us with sustainable and ethical products, ranging from washing detergents to luxurious body creams. Not to mention owner Kasie, who has mastered the art of myotherapy and remedial massage. If you feel the need to be pampered do not overlook this charming store.”
– Deb Bridger and Shaz O’Loughlin, Kuki

“For dinner, you can’t go past the Cosmopolitan Hotel. This quintessential country pub has a rich and colourful history and is a hub for both locals and visitors. From sitting in the beer garden under the shade of the majestic trees, to cosying up by the fireplace in the bar on a cold winter’s day, the Cosmo is a great spot year-round.”
– Kasie Watson, The Green Store
