Food Scene

Great location, right across the road from the Lake and less than a 10 min walk from the house. Visit them if you're looking for a great breakfast or lunch. They have a wide selection of cabinet food and a varied menu to suit the whole family. Our favourites are their amazing berry smoothie and Crepe Suzette!

Drinks & Nightlife

Big outdoor area with a stage where they host live bands. If live bands aren't your thing, then pop inside and check out the DJ with a large dance floor and bar. An easy 10 minute walk from the house, so pass on the taxi and grab yourself an extra drink before you stroll home
