    Very friendly and helpful team of staff. The food and drinks were good value. The scones delicious and I was even offered to take my uneaten scone home and provided with little tubs of cream and jam :) We had a window table at the back looking on to a beautiful gallery of cockatoos in the trees. Overall very nice. Parking if any mobility issues is challenging (but that’s consistent with a lot of parking in this area)

    Loved the food but were a little bit squished for a table of five. Loved the setting, staff were amazing and the food was delicious. The gluten free scones were the best we ever tasted, and we were asked if we were coeliac, massive thumbs up for that alone. Grandad loved his fritters, the burger was a massive hit for hubby and the chai, cannot praise enough!

    Was there in a large group (18+) and this was handled very well. Beverages and food were excellent, served timely, service great and we were easily able to settle our split bills. Very, very satisfied. the ease of the bill was a real bonus

    Lovely location and selection of food. Patient and attentive staff. It was particularly busy on the Sunday we were there and yet food came out in a timely manner and everything was very smooth.

    Lovely cafe restaurant in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Our table looked onto a tree full of cockatoos. The food is amazing, great flavours, well presented and wide range of foods including scones, pancakes, breakfast and lunch meals, high tea and caters for those with coeliac disease as almost all menu items are GF or have GFO. Staff are friendly and efficient. We will definitely be going again.

    I love this place but today our order came out short of a dish for one of us and then I asked for some water and that was forgotten too. The staff were all very young. I felt no one was in charge.

    A gem in the hills - We had a table of four with four (very) different mains, everyone a winner! Good for Coeliacs too!

    Not what it used to be, charging extra for bacon on a big breakfast ... seriously?
