We found Hippo Lakes when planning our trip down south. Hippo Lakes are dog friendly, this was a must as we have our two dog's travellingwith us. What a beautiful place. Very good selection of cakes and scones and variety of food on menu. Coffee was very nice. Lovely selection of native plants, protea flowers and wildflowers to purchase. The grounds are so well kept. Take the time to have walk around gardens and the lake. A must stop when travelling towards Margaret River.
