Jaehwi Yoon Sun-Drenched Pet-Friendly Courtyard
Tucked behind high sheltered walls, the rear garden welcomes dogs with shaded grass, fresh water, and housemade treats away from traffic.
The piece de resistance they've got a sun drenched back yard pet friendly and the high walls around it no breeze so lovely in the winter sun in qld.
Orville de Raadt Tranquil Backyard Retreat
An expansive rear dining patio offers both sunlit and shaded spots, creating a calm suburban sanctuary ideal for relaxing brunches and gatherings.
It was a nice quiet sunny paradise out the back with shaded seating and sunny seating if you prefer.
Bernadette Savage In-House Baked Cakes & Slices
Rather than relying on third-party commercial suppliers, the kitchen bakes its rotating display cabinet treats and slices fresh on-site.
They make absolutely everything they serve, including all the yummy cakes and slices in their front cabinet!
Kathryn Woodruff Indulgent House-Whipped Frappes & Sweets
Beverages and dessert offerings are elevated with scratch-made ingredients, from velvety basque cheesecake to frappes piled with house-whipped cream.
Wish I had taken a photo of the beautiful mocha frappe with homemade whipped cream and chocolate flakes (it didn’t last long, I absolutely downed it)

What ever style it is, was awesome and not like other halloumi that is way too salty. Do recommend trying it.
