Harvest cafe

One of our favourite regular cafes to visit and enjoy with awesome organic vegetarian and other foods types. Specializing in specality food diets. Sit in or take away and also buy your special food products and whole foods.
I love their Vegetarian Thai Fried Rice, Robert loves their Beef Pad Seeu. But all the food is yummy. Thai can often be a little sweet just let them know your preference when ordering. Great Thai ambiance to dine in or take away.

Nice quirky little space with yummy treats to indulge in. Love the atmosphere. If you for something a little different and quieter for a lunch break or cuppa which is a little out from the main street and next door to the local florist this is it.

Parks & Nature

Love walking around the lake and seeing the wildlife enjoying life. Walk the many tracks and sample the various mineral springs - remember to take an empty bottle with you so you can take some home.
