Secrets is a serene and beautiful cafe perched in the trees beside the damn. If you are wanting a cosy and peaceful setting for breakfast or lunch then this is the place. The fireplace completes the scene in winter.

A repeat visit for us. They went out of their way to accommodate our meal request; our waitress was most polite. The snapper was very tasty. This is one restaurant we will always return to every year when we are up here.

We had a lovely lunch, the wait staff were friendly and efficient. Food was good and serving sizes were generous. We we're disappointed that we had a table at the back of the venue as we were celebrating my husbands 60th birthday. There seemed to be ample choice of tables throughout the lunch service that we could have been seated to enjoy the view. Also I noticed the back tables where we were seated offered no opportunity to sit comfortably as they had no leg room and I had to sit side on for the entire meal. Which became uncomfortable after a while. We chose not to have desert and coffe as a result. Overall our dining experience was good, but lacked comfort.

The food and presentation was outstanding. Congratulations! However, maybe some extra training for the staff to keep alert to customers trying to catch attention would be helpful, and/or add some extra table stops to check all is well. We needed to get drinks and struggled to time this to our needs. Overall though - amazing.

The overall experience was very pleasant, the temperature inside was mild on a cold day, so most appreciated. The food was delivered relatively quickly and was extremely well presented and tasty. The ambience was perfect for the two of us untill it became quite busy and the noise level increased substantially. The view is fantastic and staff were extremely pleasant and well informed of the meals.
