Food Scene

This is in my opinion the most beautiful place to eat in the area. The cafe is a glasshouse nestled amongst native bush and gorgeous scenery, quite hidden and still undiscoved to the regular tourist. Have a lovely brunch in the grapevines, then venture out and walk off those calories on their beautiful sculpture trail!

Gorgeous wee secluded beach with historic house - super romantic for a picnic and incredible phosphorescence at night lights up the water! Make sure you come here when the tide is high for swimming. Ideal for and evening high tide and sun set!

Cute and private bay - still quite undiscovered to the regular tourists. Such a lovely spot when the tide is in.

If beer is seriously your thang, this new kid on the block is a great place to try some incredible brews! Sawmill have over a dozen varieties of beer on tap that are all handcrafted right there from their amazing new brewery building. 'The Doctor' is our favourite - yummy food too!
