Ample parking. Accessible. Good menu. Sizeable play area. Feed the animals with affordable food bags for children (or adults!). Friendly counter service. Happy to wait for my meal during a busy period because of the space and distractions. Meals are reasonably priced for the quality of food and the atmosphere.
Would happily eat here again. Would travel here just for a good cuppa and yarns. My stomach was happy. My kid was happy. I was happy.

Has options for different dietry requirements including vegan. Live music. Good food with good prices. Friendly staff. Great for kids, with options to feed sheep. Has rotating stalls close by that are nice to visit as well.

Really nice atmosphere, animals are very cute.
Very busy and I understand why, if you have kids they seemed to be having a good time with the play ground stuff.
Food was really good, please see the photos.
Coffee was on point.
There maybe a wait for your order due to the popularity but there is lots to keep you entertained and also nice stores out the front to look around.
Would definitely recommend 👌

We are regulars we love it here. Usually coffee on the go or if we have time we’ll have breakfast. The bubble and squeak and the eggs benny are our go to. It’s a family friendly venue and especially good on a nice day the kids can play on the play ground. Highly recommend our little rural slice of life. Also be thankful if you get served by Nadia, she’s an angel.This photo is from the other day when I took my Mum down for her birthday.

Stopped by for a couple of flat whites enroute to raglan.
Great spot, food was nice and the outdoor area was primo.
Can't complain at all! My partner even had a chance to check out some boutique shops too
