Great spot for all ages.
Serendipity cafe is very popular with over 50s and large groups and has bus tours stopping regularly for the fruit shop at the front and amazing value meals on offer till mid afternoon.
The Three Wise Birds bar is at the end of the drive and operates well into the evening with scrumptious food and great wines and ciders or beers.
We love both these spots :-)

The food is amazing and made on site.
The setting is to die for and the art work and gallery are always a pleasure to see even if you don’t have the spare $$ to purchase !
The busses stop here with hoards of excited tourists so it pays to come early to enjoy the setting and the real fruit ice-creams as well as take a good long stole around these amazing gardens.
Unfortunately there is only filter coffee, but a variety of teas and the china and whole area makes up for everything you may feel you are missing and a ‘normal’ café would offer ;-)
