Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Come on Regional Victoria, I know there is a pandemic, but if we don't support these businesses they will not survive it!

I wandered in here on the 16th January and social distancing really wasn't an issue because in this really large space, I was the ONLY person! ? If you are looking for a place to go to ... to get out of your own space, this is it.

There is a gallery to one side and there is a mix of locally made items on the other. Also at the Auction House is a huge collection of art supplies for anyone wanting to dabble with art.

Because this is away from the busy hub areas in Kyneton you also will find it easy to get a carpark on weekends to go here. It's street parking but as the other small businesses in this area are mostly closed for the weekend... you will be in like Flynn! Errol Flynn, of course.

The staff are super friendly and happy to answer questions about any item, or to assist you with purchasing art supplies.

A great art gallery and shop. It was so nice to see so many wonderful handmade craft and giftware by local artist. We enjoyed our stroll through the galleries and was impressed with the variety of class being offered to adults and children. The staff were amazing. I will be enrolling my daughters in a school holiday class that’s on offer. Highly recommended if you are visiting Kyneton.
