Typical country cafe with a non typical country cafe assortment of allergy friendly cakes. There is a nice visitors centre, discovery centre and museum attached with a good sized play ground for the kids. Decent coffee and lovely atmosphere!! Definitely recommend for a short lunch stop.

I checked this Cafe out the night before: open at 07.00h. Good list of breakfast options. Breaky ordered, sat down, and in about 6/7 minutes my order was on my table. Very quick, and friendly staff. Very clean and airy: good outlook from where I was sitting.

This was our first time coming since Sue retired, but it’s still a great place and we all enjoyed our meals. We loved the Dirty Fries and have jar of Sue’s famous relish to take home. See you next time.

Loved the friendly attentive service and the speed with which they delivered their meals. Recommend the chicken caesar salad and the Mexican shredded beef tacos - delicious. Well worth the stop as there are big rubbish and recycling bins nearby, water fill point, long parking for vans, playground for the kids and a caravan carwash across the road.

A gem of a cafe in a lovely town. Friendly, helpful staff with amazing fresh yummies for breakfast...cooked to perfection. And, no, the scrambled eggs weren't photoshopped, they were yellow as....
