Arkarra Gardens Café Restaurant

I had a wonderful breakfast experience at this charming restaurant with a beautiful garden that's pet-friendly. It's a delightful place to start the day with your furry friend. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was perfect. I loved how accommodating they were to pets, making it a great spot for dog owners. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot for lunch, as you are surrounded by nature and wildlife. We were able to sit under a tiki styled roofed area (many individual ones for group bookings to enjoy) and watch the ducks stroll by, birds perch next to us while we eat and we even saw a couple of baby turtles. The service was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The group tried the fish and chips, wagyu burger and chips, meat lovers pizza, salads, open styled sandwiches, and a selection of beverages. Food was cooked very well and we all enjoyed our meals. The portion sizes were very generous but we were able to take leftovers away with us. We enjoyed the little walks they have around the grounds and it's abundance of wildlife. A great spot for families.

Absolutely loved this place, the atmosphere is great, the wildlife that hangs around.
Service was good.
Only had two young servers on at the time & they were super busy.
Prices are a little expensive but worth it.
Highly recommend the breakfast wrap it was one of the best I've ever eaten

Hidden gem really. Loved the wildlife roaming around. The food was high quality 👌. The staff are warm. One of the best places in Asia pacific.

There's nothing not to like here. I've been four times now. First time was with a group and no one in the 20 or so people had a complaint. The open air seating in the bush setting is beautiful. If I had to find a negative, I guess a windy or very wet day it would not be so nice. I went once when it was cooler and drizzling but we were quite comfortable in our hut with a warm drink and yummy food. If you're scared of birds it's probably not the best place for you as we had a few different birds hanging around. There is a lovely short walk too.

I love good food and I love letting people know when I find a great place to experience good food. My friends "THIS IS IT". This is the place to go for amazing fresh food and fabulous service.
Today I found myself in the most difficult situation I could have hoped for. My meal was so exceptional and tasty, but my wife's looked just as good. I was keen for her to be full so I could finish hers as well as mine, but I didn't want to rush mine, or her to miss out on the awesome meal in front of her.... Ohhhh the quandary I found myself in...lol
Amazing, simply amazing. Will definitely return and give this place a go again. Keen to work my way through the menu. 😁
I had a read of some of the other naysayers reviews, and most of the negative comments are from one group who were encouraged to jump on board and fan someone's opinion. Sad really.
All I can say... Is look at the meals (photos) and know that they tasted better than they looked ,(and they looked exceptional).
Grilled Barramundi.. and Buttermilk Fried Chicken Salad.
Midweek lunch is the best time to visit
Enjoy.

Excellent food,excellent service. We will definitely be going back. Thanks guys

What a great little spot. Friendly service and amazing places to sit and relax. U may have to book if you want certain areas.
We only had coffee and cake but both were good. Then we went for a nice walk through the gardens.

Fabulous lunch. Hubby had a super fresh prawn pizza and I had the green goodness bowl.
Beautifully fresh, tasty and well presented food. The service was very friendly and we loved the funny yellow duck theme.
Definitely worth going to.

Beautiful atmosphere and yummy food, it's a great experience to go there after a trip to the dundowran beach. Doggos are welcome as well so long as they're on a lead and well behaved.

We used to visit many years ago and so happy it's still open. We shared the chicken pizza and just loved it! There are many gorgeous huts to sit under and enjoy a meal and the fairy lights underneath are a nice touch 👌
Many walking tracks to explore and one leads to a pond filled with turtles and ducks and a water feature. It's so cure watching the turtles swim up to greet you by popping their heads out of the water.
Very peaceful location to sit back and relax and enjoy the lush leafy surroundings and birdlife. Can't wait to return.
PS easy access for all

Friendly staff who greet you the minute you walk in. Lovely private areas set out in the shade amongst the gardens to dine in. Dogs welcome. Chicken burger very flavoursome and tropical smoothie to die for. Would highly recommend.

Incredible food and fantastically relaxing Balinese styled seating areas! Chef 👨🏽‍🍳 is bang 💥 on with flavours and food styles. We had blackened salmon, which was done to Cajun perfection. Also had the calamari salad which was superb! The salad dressing was incredible with just the right balance of everything. Paired with some bubbles, our lunch was perfection 🤩👌🏽

It's lovely to see such natural beauty around. Plants, birds.
The food is superb.

Had lovely lunch, very pleasant environment, nice bush surrounding and friendly staff

Terrific ambience! Loved watching the variety of bird life there, whilst sitting in a Bure, sipping on a glass of wine.

Wonderful area to explore and enjoy a delicious meal and cuppa. Very relaxing, friendly staff. Gluten free food available.

Arkarra Gardens Cafe is a great place to get good food ,coffee and unique setting outdoors. You select tables under various Bali style huts that are spread around various locations. You can wander the paths to explore some of the gardens.
Good selection of food , friendly staff make this worth a look.

A delightful, cool, tranquil place with delicious food, excellent service, interesting birdlife and walking trails through the lagoons. The prawn and mango salad was the tastiest meal I had in Hervey Bay. Definitely worth visiting.

A ver peaceful and relaxing place. Great place for some quite time. Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. We order a simple breakfast, fantastic presentation but more importantly yummy food.
