Thirsty? Here’s where you can get free water refills in the Yarra Ranges

Caught with an empty drink bottle while you’re out in town? Thanks to Yarra Valley Water’s new Refiller Cafes map, you’ll always know where the closest spot is to stock up on water.

There are plenty of cafes and restaurants which let you refill on water, free of charge. Here are the main spots in the Yarra Ranges.

Starting in Warburton, Cafe 3383 is the place to go, at 3383 Warburton Highway.

Head west to Wesburn and The Flying Apron Patisserie has your water needs covered.

If you’re heading up Healesville way and you’re running dry, three venues will be able to quench your thirst: My Little Kitchen Cafe and Bar, The Laneway and Willow and Jackson.

But if your travels have you ending up in Seville, the Carriage Cafe and Ducky Cafe are places offering free h20 refills, while Yarra Glen has Heartswood cafe.

The offerings expand a little the further in you go, with Emerald’s The General Food Store and Incy Wincy offering refills.

Meanwhile, water stations can be found at Monbulk‘s Tatiana’s, Mount Evelyn’s Heart and Soul Coffee Lounge and Kallista’s Cork at Cooks Corner.

While Sassafras has Violet’s of Sassafras listed as a place to get a water refill.

These are just some of the 260 or so venues offering free refills – for those living in the urban areas of the Yarra Ranges, check out the map here to find out where to go: shorturl.at/Md2aH
