Plenty of entertainment for young kids

“This has to be one of the best places in Freo, if not Perth. A great big beautiful space perfect for winding down, having a few drinks and amazing food. Love the seaside tables outside and indoor cosy sofas with fireplace. Plenty of entertainment for young kids. The drinks are really good, I had a paddle and loved all of it. The food looked and smelled awesome! All round great place. Worth a visit, we made the drive from Rockingham!”
