High end food. The detailing of the place is superb, from the music to the custom-made chairs to the smooth, polished concrete of the bar - and all the more incongruous for being in Brunswick Heads.

Great walk/running tracks to enjoy and test your fitness. The views are amazing and if you time your visit you can experience the whale migration. Also a great for viewing other marine life as well - pending weather conditions. The crashing sounds of the waves and the bird calls take you to another place of calm and relaxation away from the hassle of everyday life. A great place to explore.
