Visited for Indo brekkie based on the reviews here and it was delicious. The other brunch items looked really good too. Lovely atmosphere, play area for children and quieter area in the front. We came back for lunch the next day and tried the pulled pork sandwich, which may well be the best lunch I've ever had! Also really loved... More

We decided to try Goanna Bush Cafe because we had read reviews their breakfast was stand-out for taste & value - it certainly was. Had the Indo rice it was sensational !! We then read the lunch menu and was persuaded to return for the best pulled pork bun and polenta chips I've ever had. The young Owners / Chefs... More

Needing a breakfast venue near Dunsborough for a family group we decided to try 'Goanna'. The gallery and cafe have been here a long time with a series of owners/operators but recent comments indicated it was worth a fresh visit. Goanna don't take bookings for breakfast, so it is a bit of a lottery on weekends, but we took our... More

Lovely bush location just out of Dunsborough off Geographe Bay Rd, nice food that's not too expensive, nice artefacts to buy as a souvenir of your trip. A cute little place that adds to Dunsborough's appeal in the Margaret River wine region.

We had breakfast here, and the food was very nice, and the service was fairly quick, even though the café was fully packed. It has some nice healthy options. The portions are not oversized, so you feel comfortable walking around afterwards. The coffee tasted very good.

I visited for lunch today. It was very busy when we arrived, but we found a table under a nice umbrella. The waitress explained that there may be a bit of a wait for our food. No one was stressed or flustered and I really appreciated her courtesy and honesty (and her bright smile). Anyway, the food arrived in no... More

As previous reviewers have said, Goanna cafe is in a lovely bush setting not far from Happs Winery and Pottery. Breakfast was delicious - possibly the best scrambled eggs we've had for a long time - and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The metal animal sculptures added a whimsical touch to the morning. We'll definitely be heading back... More
