    I enjoy eating outside under the awning so I can enjoy the delightful scenery, green grass, trees, pool, kangaroos and emus. It's very relaxing. The food is always delicious and a little bit different which I enjoy. The hash browns and oat Pancake are obviously made onside and delicious. I had visited quite a few times for breakfast. The service is always very polite and attentive.

    I had a chicken and lamb yiro which was delicious. Ample filling and very appetising. The petite dessert was extra special as I love chocolate torte and baklava so could have both without having to make a decision. The only disappointment was the coffee. It wasn’t served very hot and maybe it was the coffee blend but it didn’t taste quite right. Service was excellent especially as the restaurant was busy with Christmas parties. Staff were also great. 9/10 overall.
