Great view to the surf and exceptional food. Apart from home on the deck - this is our favourite place to enjoy breakfast in town. Short stroll towards the lake and surf club.

Upstairs at the pub, with an excellent view of the surf across the road. Hint: Get there late afternoon, so you can share in the fun of the kids catching waves while Mum and Dad 'supervise' from the grass above the beach.
Food is very good, if a bit exy. However, views and great food are not cheap and these are second to none.
Afterwards: Just wander downstairs and have a few drinks at the bar and enjoy the music.

Hint: Surf rough or unpleasant? Take the kids across the road to the lake. Plenty of places to sit down, splash about in the tea tree water, or cook on the free BBQs.
