Cafe	Cafe open from 10am to 5pm Breakfast Devonshire teas Coffee Testimonial "The food at the cafe is just wonderful. I've stopped there often just for the devonshire teas. Trish and myself recently called in for breakfast after spending 8 days in the Park while waiting for our transport back to St Arnaud. We would do another 8 days tramping to have a breakfast like that again. We inform all our passengers to walk down to the cafe and wait for us there. Far better to be drinking fresh hot coffee and sampling the menu than dodging the sandflies at the jetty while you wait for the shuttle." Peter Kemp - Nelson Lake Shuttles
