Hippo Lakes is a real hidden gem. It's located a bit outside of town, but it's well worth the drive. The staff is very welcoming. There is a good chance that you'll meet the owner since she works there. All their cakes are absolutely delicious. They also have a breakfast and a lunch menu. There are inside and outside sitting areas. Outside, you have the choice between the picnic tables or the covered area.
It's a good place to go with kids since there is a big green space for them to run. You can also have a look at the lake that is a bit further. There are many activities for kids like colouring books, puzzles, giant Jenga.
The bathrooms are always very clean and there's a changing table.
There's a little shop there with lots of gorgeous little things.

Honestly the prices are decent, and well worth it as the portion sizes were huge. And the place is so lovely, you can walk up to the lake and look around, they have a wonderful venue. Make sure you visit if you are down in the...
Read moreOur rather large group (47 of us) got together for our Christmas party at Hippo Lakes last weekend. What an outstanding venue. The service from Elizabeth and her team was outstanding. We had a pre arranged menu and had pre ordered, all of us had a beautiful lunch in front of us with 15 minutes of being seated. These guys go above and beyond and their service and food is second to none. Thank you Hippo Lakes fur making our day so special. I highly recommend them for that special event you need to plan, or just a cheeky lunch/morning tea date with friends and family. Gabriella- Busselton Women’s...
