Frequently asked questions
Do you charge an entry fee to the farm?
The small entry fee for the animal area goes right back into the farm—expanding our gardens, enhancing the enclosures, and making 11 Acre Farm even better for everyone who visits.
Do I need to book a table, or can I just walk in?
We happily welcome walk-ins, and you’re always welcome to drop by! However, on busy days—especially weekends—we do book out for dine-in service. If that happens, you're still more than welcome to grab takeaway snacks and drinks from our cabinet and enjoy it on the lawn.
We have picnic tables available on a first-come, first-served basis, as well as plenty of grassy spots perfect for a picnic blanket. If you’d prefer to guarantee a table for dine-in, we recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment. Either way, we look forward to welcoming you!
Can I come for takeaway?
Looking for a bite to eat takeaway? Roll out a picnic blanket on the lawn and soak up the atmosphere! We kindly ask that you support our small business by purchasing your food and drinks from our café rather than bringing them in. Just like you wouldn’t bring outside food into a restaurant, we ask that you enjoy what we proudly prepare here.
We’ve got a great selection of fresh, delicious takeaway options in our cabinet, perfect for enjoying under the trees or at one of our picnic tables and grassy knolls (which are available on a first-come, first-served basis). Thank you for helping us keep this space special!
Kid's Birthdays
Host your child’s next birthday surrounded by animals, fresh air and nature play. Our farm-based party packages are designed to keep kids grounded, curious and joyfully messy — all in a setting that’s relaxed, rustic and a little bit magical.
The party area is located beside our Animal Experience and close to Cubby Lane. It includes undercover picnic seating, access to toilets, and entry for all guests to the animal enclosure. Whether you're after something simple or fully styled, you can build a party that works for your family.

Looking for a celebratory brekky or lunch? We can accomodate up to 20 people on picnic tables under our bell tent, where you can order from our a la carte menu and enjoy the space while soaking in the farm atmosphere.
You’re welcome to bring a birthday cake, and we charge a $15 cakeage fee to cover service and clean-up.
Are you kid friendly?
As parents we know that finding a place where kids are entertained, without compromising on the experience for adults is not always easy.
Our beautiful farm setting offers a place where adults can enjoy fresh, wholesome food, specialty coffee, and refreshing sips while kids have space to explore and play. We’ve worked hard to create an environment that balances relaxation for grown-ups with fun for little ones, making it a space where everyone feels content.
As a sustainable venue, we kindly ask that decorations align with our eco-friendly values—so while balloons, glitter, and single-use plastic aren’t permitted, we absolutely welcome fabric bunting, timber, paper, and card decorations to keep the celebration fun and earth-friendly.
Do you have a liquor license?
Yes we do! Please note BYO is NOT permitted.
Can I bring my own picnic?
We are a small business and your purchases of food and drink from us help keep the lights on, our animals fed, and property maintained. Please support us by leaving anything at home and purchasing from Cubby Cafe. Baby food is permitted.
Are you dog friendly?
Unfortunately, no. We have free ranging birds and wildlife that would become stressed by having unfamiliar dogs around.
Are you open on public holidays?
Unless explicitly stated or advertised, we are not open on public holidays.
