About this space

A café operating from a restored weatherboard worker’s cottage, centred around a leafy, dog‑friendly courtyard garden that frames its dining areas.

Design: The courtyard has brick paving, shade sails and festoon lighting, framed by hedging and potted plants. The interior pairs painted timber walls with mixed timber and metal tables in a casual, informal layout.

Features: The café runs a breakfast and lunch menu that includes gluten‑free and vegan options and specialty coffee. The venue produces cakes on site and provides whole‑cake and catering services. The space has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, natural light and allows own music subject to a noise restriction.

Ideal for: Local groups seeking a relaxed, informal seated or standing gathering around communal tables and casual service.

What guests say: The space is relaxed and welcoming with friendly, attentive staff.
