Great for a drink or for breakfast. The dining room is very noisy so I recommend going to the bar area and ordering share plates. There is a bus service too - The Clifton express which will pick up and drop off .

There are many options if you feel like a bush walk. Some accessible from Kims Place like the Wodi Wodi track or the Forrest Walk. But lots of other options in the National Park.
