Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
This page gathers six places in and around Maidstone for a weekend out: two in West Footscray, two in Maribyrnong, one in Footscray and one in Braybrook. It runs from brunch to shopping to evening drinks.
Costs here are menu prices we copied exactly. For Harley and Rose, Highpoint Mall and the pubs we have none, so we leave the cost out.
Each place was confirmed at two independent sources, and the hours quoted are the venue’s own listing unless we say otherwise. Check the day you are going, because listed hours can differ by day.

Harley and Rose is the evening meal on this list. Its site lists Tuesday to Saturday from 5.00pm until late, closed Sunday and Monday. The OpenStreetMap entry gives Tuesday to Thursday 17:00 to 21:00, Friday 17:00 to 21:30 and Saturday 16:00 to 21:30. The site is undated, so hedge on currency.
Plan it: Aim for a Tuesday to Saturday, and confirm the closing time, because the two listings word it differently.

Highpoint is the shopping stop, at 120-200 Rosamond Road, Maribyrnong. Its site lists Monday to Wednesday as 9:00AM to 6:00PM, Thursday and Friday as 9:00AM to 9:00PM, Saturday as 9:00AM to 7:00PM and Sunday as 10:00AM to 6:00PM. OpenStreetMap lists slightly earlier closes on some days.
Free first: We have not printed any entry or parking costs, so check Highpoint’s site before you go.
Powell Hotel — 202 Ballarat Road, Footscray VIC 3011
Powell Hotel’s own site lists hours of 10am-4am, 7 days, and notes that its bistro is currently closed, so count on it for a drink rather than a meal. The site is undated, so check that it still holds.
Get there: It is at 202 Ballarat Road, Footscray; check PTV for your route.
Ashley Hotel — 226 Ballarat Road, Braybrook VIC 3019
Ashley Hotel’s own site lists Monday to Sunday as 10:00am to 04:00am. AGFG and OpenStreetMap agree on the Ballarat Road address in Braybrook. The site is undated, so hedge on currency.
