    Absolutely loved our brunch. Service was super fast and the food was delicious and a good helping. Not too much. Surroundings are lovely and lots to see for kiddos. A lovely place to have a family gathering.

    Generous serving sizes. Staff were disinterested at best. Long queue to order food. A drink musing from order. Wanted to buy icecream after the meal but the ordering / purchasing too difficult/time consuming. We won't be back.

    Great place for kids with all the animal feeding and open spaces. Food was good but not a huge selection for lunch. They should crank up a barbie and get some great steaks happening, bratwurst with coleslaw, steak sangas, etc. 👍

    We were placed at a table on a verandah, certainly not a main dining room, right near the kitchen and queues for ordering drinks and food. The food was freshly cooked , hot and tasty . This was our first visit.

    It is definitely much better managed these days but unfortunately today it must just be our luck at that place but they forgot our order and it wasn’t processed properly through to the kitchen. Our friends who ordered after us got their meals 15 minutes before us and I had to go and ask the waitress where our food was and yes unfortunately it had been missed. They brought it out asap and it was delicious but just a shame as our friends waited for us to eat so their meals went cold. Anyway. Not the end of the world. Still a nice place and yummy food with good atmosphere.
