    Age Review
    “Worth a visit just for the spectacular setting, 10 minutes beyond Portland. The cafe’s deck almost merges with the beach and has close-up views of Cape Bridgewater and the wide bay. Breakfast continues all day and includes poached eggs with smoked salmon; coffee is by Amanti and lunch includes several versions of fish.”(The Age: Top 10 Great Ocean Road Pit Stops).
