Great place for lunch or coffee, with magnificent views over the beach.

What a fantastic little venue! It's a beautiful location overlooking the beach, with the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu looked a bit different to what I'd seen online but it was great nevertheless. I had the sweet waffles (best waffles I've had!) and my partner had the big breakfast (I can't remember the exact name) and he thoroughly enjoyed it too. It wasn't too busy and there was a lot more seating than I was expecting, so that was a nice surprise. Staff are lovely. Will definitely be going back!

We arrived 5mins after the kitchen closed at 2:05pm. The staff obliged to cook our order. The Seafood Chowder was so hearty and delicious and the Garlic Prawns was delicious too. Friendly staff, great food and great views/ambience. Highly recommended

Amazing restaurant with a beautiful view. All the food was amazing and very well sized! We got salt and pepper squid and a Charlie's burger. The burger was massive! I had to eat it with a knife and fork, as it was too big to hold and eat. Really good selection of food with a kids menu with things that were mainly 10 each. Also very well sized. We got sausages and chips for our little one.Very spacious in the restaurant as well and plenty of room for a pram or two.They also have outdoor seating looking over the beach. Amazing place and extremely friendly and polite staff.Highly recommend.One thing to note for Iced Coffee lovers, I got an iced latte, and it didnt come with cream or icecream, it's just like a cold coffee.
