An honest note on the kitchen

We're waiting on a food licence, so we're not plating cooked meals yet. The counter is loaded with coffee, chai, cacao, drinks, pies and bakery — but no cooked breakfast or burger menu right now.

Stage 2 (future): plated meals from ethical local suppliers — homemade burgers, hand-cut fries cooked in tallow, hearty breakfasts. We'll tell you the moment the kitchen fires up.

Practical visit tips

Parking

Room for cars on site. Coaches have historically used the large driveway — if you're bringing a group, let us know ahead so we can wave you in.

Road in

We're on Nerang-Murwillumbah Road, the scenic route through the Numinbah Valley. Take it slow — it's winding rainforest country, not a highway.

Bring

Comfortable shoes, a layer for the gorge mist, and a little patience — this is a living project, not a finished resort. The verandah is the best seat in the house.

If you're coming from the cave…

The Natural Bridge glow-worm cave and waterfall is a kilometre down the road. The classic move: do the cave loop in Springbrook National Park, then pull in here for a coffee and a pie while the rainforest breathes around you. We're the stopping place on the road — and we have been for a long time.
