Large parking area (grass or gravel) where you can spend the night for $5 per person. Very nice bar, as are the staff; the food and drinks are good 👌

Great food. Especially enjoyed the salad with chicken and fish and chips. They also have a great drink selection including an alcoholic ginger beer.
