Dec 17, 2025"Wonderful small cafe that serves great quality meals. I am always impressed with the quality of this cafe with truly excellent sandwiches, burgers and coffees. The cake was delicious also. It’s a simple place with limited seating overlooking the lake. Friendly and caring service with the cafe calling when the food is ready so you can enjoy the lakeside whilst waiting without any inconvenience."

Nov 21, 2025"Wonderful (semi-retired couple) run this cafe & have done so for the past 20yrs. He originates from Cornwall & his wife from Wales ... loved the accents & even asked if they were singers. EVERYTHING is made fresh to order ... my beer battered fish with perfect fat, crispy chips & 2 garden fresh salads was delicious & Marty enjoyed his Beef Schnitty with more perfect chips, peas & gravy. I'm also looking forward to the slice of fruit cake topped with pecans shortly ... all baked on premises. Highly recommend this gorgeous cafe when visiting Barmera (some might think it too pricey but we were happy to pay for such quality). P.S. I've also recommended any campers (who are members of the FB page I help manage) to visit here."
