Sculpture Garden | Enjoy a walk through the extensive gardens which display works by the internationally acclaimed stone sculptors of Zimbabwe, as well as recycled metal sculptures by both African and New Zealand artists.

Sweet Shop | Take a step back in time into a one-room Victorian cottage, home to an old fashioned sweet shop ‘just like you remember’ with hundreds of traditional sweets to chose from.

Real Fruit Ice-Creams  Yes, our ice-creams are back!   Open school holidays and sunny weekends.  Such a refreshing weekend treat to enjoy a traditional real fruit ice-cream using only the best of the Bay's mixed berries and blue berries, along with banana and plums (when in season).

Bike, walk, skate down the Middle Road track to our door.  3km from the Village and perfectly safe for children and dogs to visit.
