Highly recommend this pizza place if you are staying on a Friday (they are only open one day a week.) It is extremely special. A hand built log cabin with indoor and outdoor seating. BYO drinks. Delicious pizza.
You must call ahead to book and tell them how many pizzas you want at time of booking. Phone number and menu is on the fridge.
About a 20min drive. You could go for a walk at Mt Holdsworth first, then dinner after.

Great for a day of walking and a refreshing swim in the river.
If you’re there on a Friday, I highly recommend grabbing dinner at Mt Holdsworth Pizza (you’ll need to book, details in the food section of this guidebook.)
There’s a 40min loop walk to Donnelly Flat: good for younger children (you can go to the flats and then turn back as well.)
Around 2 hour loop walk to the summit on Rocky Lookout: a more challenging walk.

Queen Elizabeth Park is a great place to go to with Children. It has a large playground, including a flying fox, a lake with paddle boats, mini railway rides, mini golf. Across the road is a large swimming pool.
General shops, cafes and restaurants on the Main Street. Trocadero Cafe not far from the park on the Main Street is highly recommended.
