Modern Greek fine dinning, we have had some very nice nights out here both with and without kids. The outdoor area under the balcony is better suited to groups with kids as it has a large lawn area out the front. Check in advance during off season as it closes during winter. (03) 5289 6922

Parks & Nature
This is the local Beach to our house, Its about 400m walk and Its quite safe as far as surf beaches go. Its mostly local families and holiday makers staying nearby. You can walk along the clifftop to get here and the walk has stunning views.
Please note:
While this beach generally doesn't get really big surf or rips its still a possibility and if you are not experienced swimming in the surf please consider a patrolled beach with flags like Fairhaven, Point Road Night, Anglsea or Lorne within short driving distance.

Shopping
This place stocks all quality essentials including a good selection of wine. They also stock Irrewarra sourdough bread which flies off the shelf during busy times so get in early. It's a bit on the expensive side so you're better off heading to Anglesea for a big grocery shop.
