    Worth a visit on KI
    Our tour began with a short video about the history and methods of extracting oil, then a wander through their extensive shop. Prices on all products were very reasonable and there’s something for everyone in there! Wandering in further we sat down to a cider tasting paddle ($20 for two) which had three alcoholic ciders, all tasty and very different from eachother and their non alcoholic apple sparkler cider. This area also has an excellent looking cafe, which we didn’t try as we’d only just had lunch before arriving (oops). A great stop for a local product and to spend about an hour.
    Hi, Thank you for coming and visiting us at Emu Ridge. The cider is so tasty and caters for non drinkers as well. Glad you enjoyed your visit and experienced all we had to offer. Safe Travels, Nicole

    Cafe is a hidden gem
    Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, especially the Cafe which was a revelation and should be promoted more. Rustic and welcoming ambience, the food did not disappoint: damper served with eucalypt infused butter, huge pulled pork burger and the best mushroom with homemade gnocchi ever. Attentive and friendly service. Cool shop offering loads of useful and affordable gift ideas.
    Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to leave this lovely review, we are so glad you enjoyed our venue, cafe & of course our chefs gnocchi. Its great to hear. Thanks for your time and we hope youve had an amazing holiday. Kind regards Bev

Our group bussed to this venue for a display & lunch. The venue was in a bush setting. Lunch consisted of chicken Satay/lamb sausages, potato/salad followed by carrot cake & cream. The local cider was tasty. The limited staff very helpful.

Emu Ridge Eucalyptus was a great place to visit, the staff were friendly and explained the process of refining the eucalyptus oil well, the samples for sale are well worth it.

A very interesting family run business, a lovely welcome as soon as you enter followed by an informative video presentation about the business. The wide range of products is well presented and explained. A great coffee shop is attached where you can also try a local cider brewers product.

When you are greeted by the owner have a coffee on the veranda and his trusty dog, you know you left the Big Smoke well behind.
Lots to see and do in this place - lots of clothes, potions, bric a brac along with some good looking food and nice coffee. My wife spent plenty of cash here. And got a free bag :)

A nice touch is the 2 kangaroo being cared for by one of the staff just outside the deck.
