From Eve

Know before you go

Combine your tea room visit with exploration of the rock pools at Petit Bot Bay, particularly rewarding during low tide when pools are most accessible and teeming with marine life.
Visit during off-peak hours (mid-morning or mid-afternoon) for a more tranquil experience with better seating availability in the sunny courtyard.
Check if the upstairs dining area is open for more substantial meals beyond snacks and ice cream, particularly during spring and summer months.
During summer months (June-September), arrive early or use alternative parking as one-way traffic restrictions operate 10am-7pm on Petit Bot Road.
Bring a camera or smartphone to capture the stunning bay views from the courtyard, especially during golden hour for the best natural lighting.
