The Blackwood Pub has just celebrated 150 years. Built in 1868, it is the oldest weatherboard pub with a continuous licence. Nestled in the Wombat State Forest on the Greendale-Trentham Road, the Blackwood Hotel sits on Martin Street in the heart of in the historic gold mining township of Blackwood, surrounded by spectacular forests.



On offer, is a range fabulous dishes to suit all tastes. Come in front of a roaring open fire in winter and in summer, relax on the open deck under the shade of an ancient oak tree, looking over the beautiful hills.


This building was not always a pub, it has a history of being a mortuary and other uses. There are many stories emanating from the pub, whilst some ghost tales have been disputed, there are definitely some spirits there!



Take a walk down the Main Street of Blackwood. You can find the Merchant Cafe just opposite the pub if you care to relax with a coffee afterwards. There is a Post Office which offers giftware and other items for you to browse.



Also, there is a classic hat shop. If hats are your thing, this shop is a must. There is an antique shop and bookshop down the driveway of one of the houses near the Blackwood Pub. Blackwood is home to The Garden of St Erth. A day in this historic Hamlet is a worthy visit.
