Chris and the team did some wonderful Christmas hampers for some of our clients for the 2024 festive season. The hampers were beautifully prepared, arrived on schedule and our clients all raved about them. Highly recommend.

This place couldn't have been more perfect! Had the smashed avo with crispy bacon added. The coffee was so good. The place was very peaceful, and the gentleman was very polite. How the food came out so quickly and so perfectly is a true testament to this little gem!

From the beautiful flower garden, the historic building itself, the “pantry” with jams, chutneys chocolate etc, the mini nursery out the back.. oh yes.. and did I mention the FOOD!!

A lucky find for a Sunday morning breakfast while travelling from Winton to Brisbane. The food and service was excellent. Lovely venue inside and out. Gorgeous gardens. Will definitely call in next time we’re in Blackall.
