Thanks for a safe, clean place to park close to a walking track & cafes for morning coffee. Unfortunately I arrived too late to get a meal here but I will be back. Perfect spot.

Pros.Good meals. The burger and beer($15), on Friday night is good value. Cons. Don't bother buying into the raffles. If your not a local you won't win(true!)
