Essentials

Beautifully landscaped, relaxing hot natural springs. Great on a cold winter's day! Hire a bath robe or take two towels. Nice in winter, I find it a bit hot in summer. It's very popular so book ahead.

Our local supermarket and one of the best stocked supermarkets I've ever come across. I don't think there's anything I haven't been able to find there yet! It's recently been expanded and now has a large range of gourmet foods and local wines.

We enjoy having coffee here after an early morning ride. You can sit outside and watch the bay. Quite good for dinner too, although inside is small and we've found the service can be a bit patchy.

Great Thai food. Can be a bit noisy and you have to book ahead in summer. Get takeaway though and sit on our deck and take in the view!

Good breakfast place after you've been to the hot springs in winter. Friendly staff, but very small. I haven't been there in summer, so I'm not sure how they'd cope with a crowd.

We went on a Sunday night, when you can BYO and no corkage fee. Yummy food and great service. Nice ambience too, although fairly pricey, so we would go only occasionally and without our kids!

Pretty good pub food (can be a bit patchy) at pub prices. If you get a seat near the window you get a nice view of the bay. The cafe section (to the right of the main entrance) is better value.

You get better views here than from the Arthurs Seat lookout and if you're there at dawn or dusk there are mobs of kangaroos. Some of them have joeys in their pouches if you're there around August.
