The small town of Kaniva is located in the far west of Victoria, 25 kilometres from the border with South Australia and on the main highway between Melbourne and Adelaide.

Kaniva's major thoroughfare is the Western Highway which is known as Commercial Street through the town centre, and it is lined with historic buildings and shopfronts. At the western end of the shopping precinct is the local visitor information centre and a large windmill which symbolises the town's use of its abundant underground water supply.

Just west of the town centre is a fauna and wetlands park where native animals including emus and kangaroos can be observed.

The Kaniva Car Museum hosts Australia's largest privately owned collection of Holden Monaros and Toranas, plus car memorabilia. The Kaniva Historical Museum displays an extensive range of household items and farming relics from the local area.
