    Fabulous venue for a garden shop, homewares shop & brekkie or lunch. The staff are all helpful and knowledgeable. The nursery area is full of a healthy range of plant varieties. The dining is lovely with many places to sit that are available for all weather situations. (Dining is a little pricey, but the food is good!) When in the area, I will become a regular visitor.

    The indoor dining room at Van Loon's was a comfortable room in which to have lunch when we visited Van Loon's to purchase plants for our garden. The menu listed a good variety of meals to select from. The meals we enjoyed were delicious and were served promptly. While eating diners can enjoy views into parts of the nursery at Van Loon's.

    It was a wet, cold morning but staff were helpful and friendly and served us very enthusiastically. I was able to have a blanket later in the time as it turned quite cold. Lovely new staff member was fabulous at checking information about a dish for me due to an allergy. Very much appreciated.
