A very special cafe due to its isolated location in the Megalong Valley, surrounded by bush and open fields with grazing cattle and sheep in the distance. Also unique because of its large grassy outdoor seating area shaded by large gum trees. A great place to while away the hours over a leisurely lunch on a sunny day. Brisk, friendly service.
