    A brilliant bush ambience, surrounded by nature with the most wonderful service by a friendly and accommodating staff. My favourite go to cafe when I need coffee and fresh air. I highly recommend the experience.

    Had Lunch here on a Monday, so reasonably quiet. Food was great. Had the best Barramundi I have had for a while. However staff were not very attentive. Asked for a glass of wine to have with my meal it didn't turn up until after I'd long finished! Waited a while to pay the Bill no one seemed keen to take the money. I'd go back for the food and outlook, but they seriously need to retrain their staff!

    Pleasant and well organised venue. Food was good and service reliable. Great situation especially if visiting with children with plenty of room to run around.

    Great service and all of our meals were exceptionally presented. Unfortunately the local wildlife also enjoys the food here (we had half of our fish stolen by a swooping Kookaburra). Would be nice if there was more controls in place to prevent the bird ninjas but the staff were friendly and understanding, replaced the meal free of charge. Excellent views and atmosphere, just need to look up while you eat.
