Gluten free options are available as well as vegan, vegetarian and keto. Relax on the leather lounge next to the fire in winter or outside dining is available for sunny afternoons in summer (currently BYO).
They are adjacent to the Branxholm swimming pool and Centennial Park camping and a stone’s throw from the Ringarooma River.
