Restaurants near Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Repeat visit and elected to sit inside. Great art on display. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was tasty and well presented. Thoroughly recommend an upmarket cafe with diverse menu, situated in lovely bamboo garden surrounded by classy plant nursery. Not cheap but well worth the money.

I took my elderly parents to Vela for a family celebration on a Monday night. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean and beautifully fitted out. We ordered several dishes to share and were very pleased with all of them. Our waiter was helpful, answering our questions and repeating our order back to us to make sure it was correct.

We had to chase up the cocktails three times before we got them, the young lad who served us was so quietly spoken it was difficult to hear him, we order two mixed grills for 4 of us but had to order more bread as it only came with one piece per plate, we had to chase up the extra dip as it hadn’t come with the meal, the food quality was very good however but we all agreed it was very expensive for what we had. Will still probably return again !

What a treat for lunch! Access by train was easy. The food was delicious. Looking forward to next visit. Sharing platters are a great way to try many different foods.

The staff were incredibly attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond by providing extra chairs for unexpected guests at our table. The food and drinks were both delicious. The recent renovations have certainly enhanced the space, making it even more stunning. However, it seems that acoustics weren't a major consideration, as the room was very loud.
