What a lovely place! We arrived quite late but they were very welcoming and showed us a spot to set up our tent. Good pizza as well, and make sure you try the Mango Mango and Belgian Ale beers

Excellent spot, run by the welcoming Adam and Kylie. Worth a stop for the wood fired pizzas, exciting beer options and delicious mango daiquiris. Pop in to support this nano brewery on the rise to glory. We loved the mango chicken pizza, but our vegan and gluten free members were also satisfied!

Great little cafe and craft brewery, and the best paid overnight camping spot in the NT! We arrived on a busy public holiday without a reservation and although the guys were run off their feet they made us feel welcome and comfortable, great customer service. Beers are fantastic and the Monday night dinner special was a great way to end our day. Keep up the good work!

A classic Hidden Gem. Great spot to camp, excellent hosts, delicious mango smoothies and the Butter Chicken Pizza was exquisite. Will definitely be back.

Adam welcomed us and was a wonderful host. The Cafe is a lovely oasis off the highway of lawns, fruit trees and shady little spots to eat. Yummy pizzas with home grown veg baked in the outdoor oven, mango smoothies and mango daquaries plus the local brewery doing a fantastic golden ale. Rosella seltzers were very refreshing made from trees onsite. Sublime.
