Just a great spot to visit. Lots of space, surrounded by nature, and great food. The pizzas are particularly popular with our family for takeaway. Good for breakfast from 9am, through to dinner, and some tasty cocktail choices.
There’s a farm shop with tasty goodies including food you can warm at home. Also stocks a good range of gifts, and a few plants.

Zen provides a zen space, and a huge variety of delicious food. Highly recommended. Less than 10minutes drive from us. Following price increases, Zen is quite a pinch on the pocket.

This restaurant has great outdoor tables in the garden, or funky indoor space. The food is quite whacky, but delicious. They also have a speakeasy style bar.

Nearest shops. Supermarket next to the petrol station at Loresho. You can get most basics, and there a few fruit and veg stalls on the way. At a stretch you can walk, or walk and get a can back.
There’s normally a guy selling fresh coconut opposite.
And in the same little complex there are some other shops too: Deepa’s fashion, TradeWinds furniture ; worth an explore.

A great day out. Look at their website. Amazing Zip lining for the adventurous, mountain biking, foot golf, paint balling, walking…. It’s about an hours drive and you should book to be sure you can do the activities. Must do!
