The Watchbox
Overview
The Watchbox is Indigo Valley's loveliest place to eat, drink and relax, offering delicious woodfired gourmet pizzas, hand-cut chips, craft beers and ciders, all housemade.
The team has created a soft place to land in the middle of the delightful Indigo Valley. You will find The Watchbox only 30 minutes from Wodonga, 15 minutes from Yackandandah and Beechworth and only 30 minutes from Rutherglen.
The beautiful surrounds encourage an environment with no time limits, where you can laze and graze the day or evening away.
The Watchbox is the perfect venue for private events including weddings and other special functions.
