Great family restaurant with fantastic atmosphere!
Enjoy Pasta and Pizza from the menu that has not changed since the 70's.
The first purpose of this building was as a Cow Shed which provided the township stores with milk.
It has the most amazing open fire and a great spot to hit to warm up after being on the slopes for the day.
