Barnacles Tea Garden - Bluewater Bay

Very good spot to eat, chill with the kids, or unwind after walking one of their 2 trails (1km 5km). Trails are well maintained and have some beautiful scenery. Toilets at the hiking trail are absolutely stunning. It is basically a nature bunker. Bring cash with for the honesty box when partaking in the trails. Apart from the trails and the restaurant, they also have a little shop where you can purchase homemade foods and unique homemade items. This is what one expects a little farmers' market ought to be like. With regards to the food, the food is really tasty. My only complaint is that it is so **** delicious, one yearns for more. Along the trail, you would find horses, donkeys, and ducks. The one donkey in particular seems to be a bit of an inspiration to the establishment. Wilbur is a donkey that has his own accolades documented and immortalised on signs at the trail entrance. He seems to be the herald of the property. There is plenty of on-site parking, with more immediately across the street. The staff are quite friendly and eager to assist. The smoking area is outside in the on-site parking lot. Sufficient toilets have been strategically placed around the property, so you need not hit the bush.

We has a breakfast team meeting, scheduled and booked for 8 am. That morning was cooold! We got there, had to wait for the heater/s to be switched on. Our food took a while but I attributed this to us being the 1st customers. Good place and good food. Maybe I will ha e a different experience when it is warmer and I am not one of the 1st customers

Enjoyable atmosphere. The food was above average with interesting flavor choices. The strawberry milkshake was also somewhat different tasting from others I have had at other establishments; but in a good way. Didn't get a chance to go to the farmstall or bakery but will be returning to try the 5km hiking trail.

Great atmosphere and a great place for families or anyone who’s up for good food.

Lovely place with a great menu full of fresh produce.
