Honey and Fig Homewares & Gifts

Honey and Fig is a homewares and gift store in York WA with a beautiful mix of local artisan products and carefully selected quality brands. Supporting other Wheatbelt small crafts and small businesses. Proudly stocking great Australian brands. You will find original and hand made goods in the store. We relocated to the Old York Mill complex, which was built to produce flour from the farms surrounding the town. York is still a staple supplier of flour including export to Japan for their noodle production.

Patchwork on Avon

Reviewed By barrylU3862GE

What a pleasant surprise to visit Patchwork on Avon - a treasure trove for lovers of craft and sewing. I bought some lovely cotton silk yarn and rang Carol the owner to buy some more at a later date. She was extremely helpful with colour choice and the amount of yarn I would need for my project. The yarn arrived five days later. Jane

York Visitor Centre

Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia

The Visitor Centre is generally our first stop when looking for additional information and directions to local attractions. With Covid restrictions, websites are not always up to date as we discovered after arriving in York on the Sunday afternoon. Somewhat frustrated, I visited the Centre on the Monday where a lovely lady, Beck, provided updated information and suggested a number of other attractions that were open to visitors in the York district. Just brilliant and ensured that our three days could be full of attractions to see and visit. Other staff equally as engaging and helpful later on. Good range of souvenirs and small gifts available. Great range of brochures. Free wifi a boon.

York Olive Oil Co

Reviewed By Ian-Down-Under - Perth, Australia

Lovely ice creams and the place is surrounded by wildflowers on the side of the dirt roads leading in. There is a playground with a couple of flying foxes, and some shady places to sit down and devour those great ice creams just bought, so has it all! Friendly gent - I think it was Arnaud - behind the counter was inundated with customers but kept his cool. Well done! And can I have another tub of pistachio icecream please?
