About Warrandyte Stonehouse Cafe

Set against towering gums and rustic stone walls, this bush retreat pairs leafy tree-canopy dining with hearty cafe classics. Grab a table out on the wide timber verandah overlooking native forest—or retreat indoors beside the open hearth when the chill sets in. Walkers straight off the adjacent Yarra trail often claim deck perches with dogs in tow, lingering over an all-day menu that covers everything from morning breaky burgers on brioche to the Gold Miners breakfast and crisp, tender calamari with chips.

  • Bushland deck and fireplace: Verandah and deck tables set right in the tree canopy overlook native forest, backed by an indoor hearth for colder days.
  • All-day breakfast menu: Flexible kitchen hours feature all-day staples like the Gold Miners breakfast and brioche breaky burgers alongside lunch calamari.
  • Dog-friendly trail stop: Open outdoor decking sits right next to the river walking trail, complete with water bowls ready for visiting dogs.

  • River Walk Proximity with On-Site Parking

    Set directly off the main road just outside the village center, the cafe provides easy on-site parking beside walking trails along the Yarra River.

    The Cafe is just out of the main Warrandyte village and there is plenty of parking. There's a walk along the river accessible right next to the Cafe too.

Before you head over

Helpful planning tips for your visit to Warrandyte Stonehouse Cafe

  • Book ahead for weekends and groups

    The cafe draws high weekend and midday traffic, so reserve a table in advance—especially for larger groups or if you prefer a specific spot like the outdoor deck.

  • Choose the deck for dogs and quiet dining

    If you want a quieter meal away from indoor white noise, or if you are bringing dogs after a river walk, ask for seating out on the deck or covered verandah.

  • Check parking and mobility access

    While disabled parking is available at the front and ample parking is located at the rear, mobility access can be tricky on the main road approach, so plan arrivals accordingly.
