Food Scene

Delicious menu with heaps of options, friendly service, and great for kids. Prices are reasonable and helpings more generous than many other local restaurants. Do ring ahead for evening meals as they book up quickly - especially on holidays and weekends.

Our favourite local dessert is Waterside's Freak-shake (over 1 L of donuts, ice cream, biscuits and more!). We actually aren't fond of their other food, so often pack a picnic lunch for the park and head there for dessert!

Entertainment & Activities

Rent a paddle board, sailboat or kayak and explore the lake. Then come back to enjoy drinks at night in their restaurant above the water. (We sometimes get pizza because it's such a great atmosphere but tends to be average-tasting and pricey. Live music on Sunday nights.

Lap and hot pool swimming - cheaper entry than other options. Pools are warm but chlorinated so great option for families with kids (safe to put heads under water). Pool and water slide hours fluctuate - best to check the website or ring for current information.
