Fyansford Paper Mill

Great place to drop in and see. Lovely winery. Dropped a star as the opening times are hard to gauge being all small independent retailers, if you go out on a Monday or Tuesday only a few places will be open.We thought it was an actual paper mill museum of sorts, while that was once the case it is now all all retailers and artists

Everything was closed before 4pm on a Friday afternoon, except Dimora Designs which was closing. Nice view of the river from the outdoor window at “6B” (past Dimora Designs)Nice old buildings and machinery in the yard.

Simply a cool place to be, be reminded all workshops open in weekend* only

A lovely place to visit by the river and explore the surrounds.

We recently visited the Fyansford paper mills. The Highton Rotary Club are currently running excellent 1 hour heritage tours of the precinct ($10 adult, $6 child) on the weekends. There is little signage on site with the history of the various buildings, so the tour, supplemented with old photos was invaluable. Fascinating history, not just of the paper mills but also the World War 2 mines department.The tour covers a fairly short distance but is jam packed with points of interest. The walking tour is largely wheelchair accessible with some slight slopes. There are also several interesting galleries and workshops on site, a very friendly cafe with indoor and outdoor seating and the Providence winery cellar door /function centre.Special thanks to our guide Ian Campbell.

A must see for all who want to explore Geelong and surrounding areas. Lovely cafe, quirky and interesting artist studios. It had old buildings and some gardens to enjoy and has toilets for the public to use. Add it to your list of places to visit.

Beautiful spot to visit

A great place to visit for the day. The old paper mills have a great history! including Button Hill. A few lost trades set up which is pretty cool. The little studio spaces are interesting to explore.A couple of gift stores, and a friendly cafe. Best to go on a sunny day to enjoy the scenery!

Definitely worth the trip. Very pretty and much to see. Driving to the other side of the river (Buckley Falls lookout) to see the mill from a distance as a backdrop to the gorgeous river/falls is a must.

Went on a Friday so many of.the studios weren’t open but it was still a fascinating experience. Wonderful environment with the old mill. Great coffee and scone at the cafe.. Lovely gallery. Really enjoyed speaking with the instrument restorer and a jewellery designer. So glad we came.
