The reason this restaurant is full on a Monday in the middle of a storm is not just the wonderful food,but also the service. Based on the same system employed by the Regent Hotels there is no such word as ‘no’ and no such thing as ‘it’s not my job’ This comes through from the owners who are working alongside their staff, smiling and taking the time to stop and chat, giving the restaurant a relaxed and friendly feel. We stayed in one of the gorgeous cabins and this delightful attitude was out there too. We had coffees, food hampers and breakfast all delivered to our home in the woods, nothing was a problem, it’s all about you and your experience and nothing can beat that. This place deserves every star they get.

Such fantastic staff, wonderful environment, and incredible food!! Steps away from the scenic waterfall, we also enjoyed walking through the veggie garden, and the kids playground. The food was beyond our expectations as we were just driving through the area. The salads were all interesting. Loved the risotto!!!!

What a wonderful lunch we had with you today. You accommodated our requests and you made it special. Food and service great. The Social Menu offered is so good for a big group. My favourite is still the Vegetarian pizza on gluten free base. Delicious. Frances Nicol

My sister's and I had a girls getaway and stayed in the log cabin. It was absolutely fabulous. The staff were all friendly and made us feel very welcome. We had dinner at the restaurant which was great. We will go back and will recommend. 10/10.

We had the elopement package through Falls Retreat and Laura was super accommodating and flexible on our requirements from the get-go. The food supplied for dinner and breakfast was spectacular, the venue itself was breathtaking but most of all; the team made sure the wedding was a smooth success! Highly recommend for elopements or even bigger weddings - they certainly help take the pressure off!

Just ate at the cafe. Wood fired pizza was excellent, enjoyed a Greek Salad. A nice place to spend the evening, and have a drink after a day of hiking. A beautiful waterfall at the bottom of the drive. Would definitely pop round again!

Most awesome place: food, drink, and fellowship! The staff are awesome! Super friendly and helpful to create a most wonderful experience. The playground captured the hearts, minds, and bodies of the kiddos while the parents made the food & drink selection. A perfect place! Come & see for yourself :) Enjoy!
