Recently, we stopped at the View Cafe in Advancetown during our Springbrook National Park trip. The brunch experience was delightful, featuring a delicious combination of coffee, avocado toast, and pancakes. The food and service were both commendable, complemented by a beautiful view of the mountains. The cafe's proximity to the Hinze Dam allowed us to enjoy a pleasant walk before our meal. The addition of live music added a charming touch to our brunch experience. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing and enjoyable break during your travels.

It was awesome, we struggle to find somewhere that we feel comfortable eating g as our son is anaphylactic to nuts but the staff assured us they would prepare it safely for us so we could all enjoy our breakfast. I am happy to say we were not disappointed it was all delicious, will definitely come again.

Overall, fantastic spot! Food is really good and the staff are lovely. Something does need to be done regarding the 20+ minute line up waiting to order on a Saturday lunchtime...the till is just really slow and has happened both times I was there. Otherwise would be 5 stars across the board!

The staff are friendly. The food was fresh and full of flavour. It's a great drive to get there. The view is relaxing from the cafe and it is located right at the dam wall where you can watch the water flowing out of the lake, over the spillway.
