Quick 5 minutes walk from the cottage. Great views of the area. Part of the walk is along the highway however so keep an eye out for cars.
Mitchell Ridge Lookout

Definitely worth checking out if you're not afraid of heights! There are no railings so you can get as up close as you want to the edge - but take care as it can get very windy at times.

A beautiful lookout point (with less of a crowd than at the Three Sisters) and walks if you feel like it. A great pit stop/minimal detour before heading back home.

Food Scene
The food is nice here. The 'Deli Rose' sandwich is my favourite and the salads are nice too! The quirky layout of the place is a bonus.
The place gets very busy on weekends during lunch hour so i like to come here when I'm in the area for early or late lunches.
