    Having booked a table for 12 people, we were very surprised to find that they would not split the bill. It used to be no problem at this restaurant, maybe under new management?? Food was average, ordered a coffee that never turned up. Won't be going back.

    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.
