Where Are You?
Trentham is a compact village — everything is within a few minutes' walk or short drive. Here's the right dunny for your activity.
Visiting Trentham Falls
Trentham Falls car park
Victoria's highest single-drop waterfall (32m). Toilet at the car park before the walk.
The falls are a 5-minute walk from the car park down a gentle path. The viewing platform gives you the full 32-metre drop. Best after rain when flow is heaviest. The toilet is at the car park — nothing at the viewing platform itself.
Main street / Red Beard Bakery
Town Square toilets
Central High Street location. Near all shops, cafes, and the famous bakery.
The Town Square is the heart of Trentham. Red Beard Bakery, the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and local shops are all within 100 metres. This is the best-maintained toilet in town with accessible facilities.
Walking the Coliban River
Coliban River Reserve
Riverside walking tracks connecting the falls area to town.
The Coliban River walk is a pleasant flat trail through the bush. The reserve toilet is basic but convenient if you're doing the walk between the falls and the town centre. Look for platypus at dawn and dusk.
Stoney Creek / families
Stoney Creek Reserve
South side of town. Playground, picnic tables, and open grass.
Stoney Creek Reserve is the family-friendly option. Playground, picnic area, and open space. Good for kids to run around while you take turns ducking to the loo. Less busy than the town centre on weekends.
Driving through to Daylesford
Town Square (quick stop)
Trentham is the logical toilet stop between Woodend and Daylesford.
If you're driving from Melbourne to Daylesford via Woodend, Trentham is the halfway point. Pull over at the Town Square for a quick loo stop and grab a pie from Red Beard while you're there. You won't regret it.
Weekend food crawl
Town Square
Saturday market days and weekend food pilgrims flock to Trentham.
Trentham's food scene punches way above its weight. Red Beard Bakery, Cosmo Hotel, Du Fermier. On weekends the town fills with Melbourne foodies. The Town Square loo can get busy — Stoney Creek Reserve is a quieter alternative.
