We have been to Secrets on the Lake on a few occasions. Every single time enjoyed the service, food, location and ambience. The owner George was kind enough to show us one of the cabin. It was very nice and we will love to book one of the cabin for our weekend away.

We love this place, been eating here for years and have watched it grow and grow. The standard of food and service has always been excellent and there couldn’t be a more beautiful view on the Sunshine Coast. This visit was for some Christmas in July fare and we were not disappointed. Baked ham with all the trimmings for my husband and Macadamia crusted fish for me. We managed to fit in a couple of lovely desserts too. Well worth the drive up from the coast.

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.
