Fantastic meals, service, staff, views and ambience. We have nothing to complain about at all. This was our second visit and everything was as perfect as the first. We love it. So nice to have somewhere special to eat and not just the local pubs and cafes. Will be back for sure, we have more meals we want to try.

The BEST eye fillet steak ever! My companions had the barramundi and the prawns and they were both very impressed by their meals. Attentive, friendly staff. Nothing was too much problem. Highly recommended. A hidden gem.

A special treat for a special event. 'Twas perfection. The sweetest service, the most sublime view. the most expert cuisine and a post-prandial walk in a native animal conservation park. There is nowhere like it. And the restaurant also features a gallery of historic pottery,' This is hospitality Retallick style, where nature and culture meet elegant food - all in the grounds of an alpaca farm. Generous serves, wonderful fresh flavours of native herbs and spaces... Not noisy, unhurried...Don't miss the crocodile spring rolls!
