Emu Cafe at Wildlife Wonders

Restaurant and Cafe

Emu Cafe at Wildlife Wonders is just outside Apollo Bay, but feels like a world away with the large window looking out to the beautiful Sanctuary. You might even get a visit at the window from a couple of curious emus!

In the spacious, dog friendly courtyard out the front, enjoy a cold drink and a light meal. There’s plenty of space for the kids to run around too. Or snuggle up inside with a hot drink and meal and enjoy the beautiful bushland setting.

Their kitchen loves to use seasonal and local produce where they can and the menu is always changing with plenty on offer whether you’re staying for a while, or taking something to go. The sweet treats are made locally from their friends at Potoroo Pantry, and their special “The Wildside” coffee is also roasted locally from the great people at Hello Coffee.

Emu Cafe is open for everyone. Open daily from 9.30am – 3.30pm.

All profits from Emu Cafe contribute to the conservation of unique Australian plants and animals across the Otways through conservation projects run by the Conservation Ecology Centre.
