What an absolute delight! We stopped for scones, jam and cream and also chocolate brownie, was pretty speccy. The terrace and lawn area are lovely. We met one of the owners she was lovely, gave us a bit of a run down on the place. Worth a visitđź‘Ť

What a great find this little piece of paradise was. Surpassed our expectations, beautiful outlook and everything was very new and kept spotlessly clean, great sealed driveway and carpark. The simple menu caters for all tastes and the food is beautifully homemade and fresh. Dog friendly, the staff were wonderful, friendly and efficient. No expense has been spared with purpose built restaurant and shop and the man-made lake and garden areas under the mature native trees are excellent. Keep up the great work guy's we'll be coming back often with family and friends.

What a beautiful spot, all tucked away in the countryside. The food was surprisingly delicious and we sat out under a huge gum tree and enjoyed it. Great for big families, or large gatherings. What a great place!
