We were staying for a weekend away in Wye River Big4, we came for dinner here one night for a casual dinner. Exactly what we wanted, hamburger, awesome steak sandwich, pie and pizza. Don't miss the back 'dining' room, nice hot fire and tv. Staff really friendly.

We drove past and decided to stop by and checked this place off our list. I was reluctant to stop at first but after visiting, I knew I was not wrong! Once we parked, a kookaburra was as described on the fence outside Cafe Koala! It was really exciting to see a real living as all the artists in Melbourne described and mound them in clay. Of course the more common are the ducks, fowls and parrots that we only get to see in our zoo but here, they are just walking you. As we towards the river, we sighted a big animal up the hill and it was a kangaroo and seeing them in the wild is very different from seeing them in a zoo/sanctuary. It was an amazing feeling seeing them hop in the wild looking for food. As we thought it was quite done, we went to the toilets and when walking out to get our car, a koala was just sitting on a tree that is just so low and visible. It was awake for the few seconds and it went back to sleep! I was telling my hubby we are just so lucky to spot so many wildlife here and it had been really exciting and full of surprises! It's a must stop while driving in GOR!!

Try this instead of Anglesea, Lorne or Apollo Bay. A good selection of basic food including homemade pies and burgers. When you've finished go an watch the parrots and if you're lucky, as we were, a koala or two.
