Reviews
"I can only rate the outside seating areas and takeaway available, as the only thing open was the take away/cafe. The restaurant and maze weren't open the day we were there. The actual garden and eating areas were all well kept and clean with plenty of bins to discard rubbish. The small takeaway/souvenir shop was well stocked. In the summer they have a beer garden on top of a shipping container, not large obviously, but quaint as it offers a great view of the city. The gardens are immaculately maintained and the $5 dollar entry very reasonable for what is on offer."
"Amazing views so worth a visit for that. Although they could make more of the cafe and services. You have to queue up for a long time if it's a busy day to order food, and they insist on you having a table even if you're doing take away which is strange. The food is ok but expensive for what it is. The gardens are lovely but quite small. There is also access to national park woodland trails which are great - but you get these for free in this area so not worth paying entry for. They could do with floor to ceiling windows in the cafe to improve the views for all patrons."
"Came here for the lookout. Fantastic view from the cafe on a clear day. Could see all the skyscrapers in the city. Coffee was reasonably priced. Lots of different desserts and cakes available. Muffins too. Breakfast and main courses are available and ok priced. Nice place to stop for a snack and the view from the cafe."
"Was a fantastic look out with a tiny garden. The coffee was good. There wasn't really much going on apart from the function room and restaurant. But was good for a visit. There is definitely a better look out just down the road. Burke's look out is a must see. I did not like that we had to pay for parking when there is minimal to do up there."
"I had a pleasant time at the venue celebrating our wedding anniversary. Service was excellent (many thanks, Chloe). The restaurant was fully booked but food was served promptly. We were very happy with the mains (duck and lamb). The entrees were delicious, especially the Korean pork belly. The chocolate sphere is a beautiful dessert concoction and not to be missed. Needless to say, the sunset and city skyline views from the restaurant are just stunning."
