Amazing place so much to look at very clean and tidy staff were very helpful and friendly definatelt worth a look

this place was fantastic! the lady gave us a one on one tour and helped us bottle our own bottle. i tried the shots on offer and they were delicious and very easy to go down- lucky i had a designated driver! the shop was clean and even had a restaurant!

Visited here on a holiday with my boyfriend & we both loved it! The lady gave us a 1 on 1 tour where we got to bottle our own bottle of whiskey & gave us a free taste test. In the gift shop area u can buy shots for $1-$2 of alcohols they make to try before u buy. They have a bistro/eating area but we never tried the food there. Plenty of parking & plenty to look at. This place is not kid friendly for the most obvious of reasons

great atmosphere and service. Enjoyable dining experience whether for lunch or dinner. It's so great to have an awesome view when enjoying a meal with that special someone

Hellyers Road Distillery is a whisky distillery situated about 5kms outside of the township of Burnie on Tasmanias north-west coast. Producers of single malt and blended whiskies, vodka and cream liqueurs the distillery is a tourist attraction in it's own right with interpretive tours offered on a daily basis. These tours are relatively cheap and a good way to spend an hour or so and learn more about the history of the area, the distillery and whisky making. However, the distillery also has a cafe/restaurant and it is this I am going to concentrate on.

I have eaten there twice now, probably would have eaten there a lot more often but I would most certainly get fat!! But I do plan another trip in the near future, perhaps on my next days off.

The first thing I like about this place is that it is cosy and comfortable. Not overly large, but the tables and chairs aren't so packed in as to be crowded. I have my own table there already - it must be the lonely, single, middle aged man's table as both times I have been I was seated there and on the second time I just replaced another older man that had been sitting there by himself having a meal. Meh, never mind, I think it's the best table in the place, only for 2 and right in the corner by the window overlooking the lush green pastures and forest in the distance, watching the birds fly by etc etc. So yay for my table I hope to get again when I next visit ;).

Attentive (but unobstrusive) and friendly staff provide a great start to your dining experience. A bottle of water provided when you're first seated and a menu (which can be seen here if you so desire - http://www.hellyersroaddistillery.com.au/menu.html) and then you are left with a little time to ponder your choices. Whilst the menu isn't extensive I still found it difficult to choose as everything sounded so good. So far though I have had the slow cooked lamb and the house special pie. Now, it's very hard to choose a favourite but I would have to say if you're only there once and can't go back then really have to try the pie!! Everything about it was phenomenal, just the best gravy I have tasted and pastry so buttery, and I (embarrassingly) found myself licking out the inside of the ramekin and the pastry crumbs off the plate. Of course it's not the first time i've been caught licking something out in public........ (oh come on people, get your mind out of the gutter - it was just an awful incident with a cup of gelati in Melbourne which I wont go into ;) lol!!

Every day they have house made biscuits of the day and the first time I went they were white chocolate macadamia. Fell in love with these and was hoping they would have them next time I went. Unfortunately the second time was jam drops so I didn't have these. Will be looking forward to seeing what they have next time though. Both times I went I also had their house made whisky liqueur ice cream which comes in three flavours - original, hazelnut and coffee. Definitely recommend the original. Super creamy and comes with a piece of almond biscotti. Finally, every good meal must finish with good coffee and their lattes are worth going there for alone. Even better, served with a piece of house made whisky fudge which I really think they should sell retail!!!

Probably one of the biggest surprises about a visit to Hellyers Road (other than the amazing food) is the bill at the end. A main, dessert, biscuits of the day and coffee only cost me $29. Thought they had left something off but nope, double checked and it was right.

If you're in Burnie make the effort to detour to Hellyers Road, well worth it for a great dining experience.
