News Kilcunda Reimagined
We've always loved Kilcunda for its chill beachside vibes, but with so many recent changes there's even more of Kilcunda to love. A new wave of businesses and management is breathing life into this hip seaside town.
This coastal haven never fails to offer up dramatic coastline, windswept beaches and the nostalgic charm of the Kilcunda Trestle Bridge. There’s delightfully convenient access to the Bass Coast Rail Trail and George Bass Coastal Walk from the town centre, and the mouth of the Powlett River awaits an afternoon of riverside lazing.
New businesses, renovations and rebranding has Kilcunda reimagined, drawing a new energy to the popular coastal town.
The Sticks
When you step into one of the six interconnected pods of The Sticks, you might be forgiven for thinking you’re visiting the future. This enchanting architectural dreamscape of curved concrete, glass and light is home to must-visit retail spaces and food destinations.
Raza Kilcunda is a market and wine bar offering a curated mix of organic produce, dairy, bread, pantry essentials, home and personal care products, drinks, coffee, and afternoon tea. With a strong emphasis on local goods, low-waste living, and connection through food, Raza is evolving into a relaxed destination for wine, aperitivo, and dinners inspired by flavours from across the seas.
Also in residence is the jewellery store By Georgia, where you will find marine-inspired creations that will have you feeling like a 21st century mermaid. Or pop into Hair Vision by Holly to refresh your look and get a new coiffure. Visit during the summer and you can grab a fresh gelato from the icecream pop-up Licca Lucca.
KGS Kilcunda
The beloved General Store is now branded as KGS Kilcunda. This dreamy spot pulls triple duty as a café, post office and general store. Enjoy your cafe fare in the airy white brick space with retro fittings or generous leafy courtyard. Expect world-class coffee, classic fish and chips (on a Friday) and stock up on all your pantry essentials.
Kilcunda Ocean View Hotel
The iconic Killy Pub is under new management – this local institution now boasts beautiful views of the sea from the newly landscaped garden. Dive into a menu of pub classics peppered with Central and South American flavours, care of their Cuban-hailing chef. Sit back and relax on the deck, sip a fresh beer and listen to some live music at this classic seaside pub.
