Sophie Handris Tranquil Mountain Escape
Surrounded by quiet mountain greenery, guests find an unhurried, serene haven where peaceful conversation flows without noticing time passing.
We sat there chatting over our meals and didn’t even notice the time passing.
Chaw Gavin Hearty Handcrafted Fare
The kitchen delivers thoughtfully crafted comfort food, from German-style crispy crackling pork belly to rich daily savory pies made with balanced flavors.
The meals are simple in the best way; no unnecessary frills, just beautifully balanced flavors that speak for themselves.
Nikos House-Baked Cakes and Sweets
A tempting daily pastry selection highlights made-from-scratch treats including orange cakes, lemon curd tarts, and hazelnut cream rolls.
Gluten free options are available for savory as well as sweet foods, and all cakes are home made.
Stephan S Cozy Refuge in Inclement Weather
When driving rain, cold winds, or mountain mist roll through Olinda, the carpeted dining room provides a snug, heated indoor haven with full garden views.
Love this place and it’s carpeted! So it’s delightfully snug and comfortable, particularly on a cold winters day.
Adriano Scuderi Integrated Garden and Nursery Outing
An outing pairs a scenic meal with immediate on-site access to explore ten acres of heritage display grounds and the Diggers Club plant nursery.
And you can visit the nursery & garden shop co-located with this homely venue.

Slow-Cooked Pork Belly
The tangy sauerkraut balanced the richness of the pork perfectly, and the crackling on top was crispy with just the right fat-to-meat ratio.
Chaw Gavin Angus Beef Burger
The other two in our group had beef burgers, and they said the patties were thick, juicy, and paired with fresh toppings.
Chaw Gavin Barramundi
The barramundi, with its flawlessly crisp skin and succulent flesh, was the star of the dish.

The hazelnut roll and even more so the orange cake we tried were to die for, and my coffee made exactly the way I have it, no questions asked.
