Interesting and luxurious restaurant. We had an array of food and drinks from the menu and loved everything we tried. The service is excellent and the wait staff are comfortable. Ive been to the café as well and while it was very good the restaurant is definitely worth the extra cost.

A huge range of great wine, lovely service and some uniquely stunning works of art and sculpture to feast your eyes on. Well worth a stop in when in the area.

Rocking up to Oakdene you get greeted by grandiose flapping flags lining the driveway. Then you see the cellar door, and you might question if you’ve had one too many tastings for the day already before realising that no, it was intentionally build on its side like that. Like many places on the Bellarine, there’s a $ 5 tasting fee that’s refundable upon purchase — but unlike other places there’s a whopping 14 wines to taste for your fiver. Even better is that many of them are rally great wines — from the sparkling to the pinots and shiraz. We visit Oakdene each time we’re down this way, and shall long continue to do so.

What a great place. Divided into three different and distinct spaces Oakdene is sure to impress anyone. The formal dining room offered fine dining at a very low price. I had the scollops with pork belly for entrée and the duck for main. Both cooked to perfection. The service was great. The only downside is half the tables are in the conservatory with makes it a little loud when full. The celler door offers tasting until 4 pm, and is well worth it. It costs $ 5 but that will be refunded it you make a purchase — and you will. The staff here too are very friendly and knowledgable. The court yard offers casual dining. With a focus of share platters and fish and chips. Perfect for a summers day.

Funky, eclectic atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and knowledgable about all aspects of the menu. Food was delicious and sourced locally from the Bellarine Peninsula. Highly recommend this restaurant.
