About Us

Indoor play area and playground

Situated in Bairnsdale, East Gippsland, Benchelo’s Indoor Play Centre & Cafe is open 7 days a week, please check our Facebook page regarding opening hours on Public Holidays. Closed Christmas Day.

We are a local, family-owned business who are raising our own young family. Our dream of starting an indoor play centre started when we noticed that East Gippsland lacked an indoor fully-contained space for families to let their kids go wild – especially on the cold, wet days that are common in our region. We dreamed of a place that large families with babies, toddlers, and older children could enjoy – and with Benchelo’s, we made this happen.

Our bright and colourful play equipment has been designed by one of the leading indoor play specialists for children between 12 months and 12 years old. We have guaranteed peace of mind by working with these specialists to provide a CLEAN, SAFE environment. We adhere to all relevant Australian standards and provide ourselves on safety and cleanliness.

Our lovely little café provides coffee, drinks, and tasty snacks for both parents and children to enjoy. Hungry and thirsty kids will love our café, and parents will have an excuse to enjoy great coffee and cake. Like our playcentre, the café adheres to all relevant Australian safety standards.
