About Rivers of Yarrambat

Rivers of Yarrambat pairs garden-rimmed cafe dining with lake views, wandering ducks, and a plant nursery. Regulars head here for a weekend reset—grabbing a flat white and sitting outside near the water, or settling inside the main cafe for lumber jack waffles and crisp hash browns. Between courses, diners wander past greenhouse rows, browse homewares in the gift shop, or feed the waterfowl by the central pond. Crisp chips arrive in miniature flower pots, while counter displays highlight passionfruit sponge and soft scones served with jam.

  • Lakeside Garden Grounds: A dining precinct nestled among an active plant nursery, homewares gift shop, and duck pond.
  • Dual Dining Formats: Sit down for cafe brunch inside, or grab coffee and quick bites out front for lakeside tables.
  • All-Day Fare & Bakery Treats: From lumber jack waffles and breakfast burgers to passionfruit sponge and fresh scones.
