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.

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.
