Arkarra Gardens Café - Dundowran Beach

We used to visit this restaurant many years ago, and we’re so glad it's still open! We shared a chicken pizza, and it was absolutely delicious! There are plenty of lovely huts to sit in while you enjoy a meal, and the fairy lights hanging underneath are a charming touch. There are many walking paths to explore, one of which leads to a pond filled with turtles and ducks, along with a beautiful water feature. It’s adorable to watch the turtles swim up to greet you by poking their heads out of the water. The location is incredibly peaceful, making it a great spot to relax and appreciate the lush greenery and birdlife. We can’t wait to return. P.S. It’s easily accessible for everyone!

I really enjoyed my experience here. The menu was excellent, the atmosphere was lovely, and I appreciated the sound of birds in the nearby parklands while having my lunch. Just a quick note: if you're going to complain about certain items being unavailable, please keep in mind that we are currently facing significant supply issues, and it’s not the restaurant's fault. This was truly a delightful lunch!

Hidden gem! Found this place from a Facebook recommendation. Stayed in Hervey Bay and went to try their breakfast menu, it was the best found of the day. The food cooked perfectly, the place is beautiful, clean, quick served, friendly staff and the garden felt like you're in Bali.

The restaurant is set in a stunning location, with tables and seating arranged generously in the midst of thatched huts, surrounded by a lush canopy of rainforest trees and paper barks next to Arkarra Lagoon. The coffee is excellent, accompanied by a delightful selection of cakes, scones, and slices. Additionally, there is a delicious lunch menu available. Guests can also enjoy beautiful walks through the forest canopy leading to the lagoon.

A hidden gem. Relaxing location, great service and food. Coffee is smooth Bonus: they are dog friendly
