Facilities include food, drinks and bar service, showers and toilets, and free internet and WiFi access.

Here you can buy handcrafted goods as well as locally made products and any number of soft toy animals to remind you of your trip to Australia.

The Glasshouse Bar is a good option as its menu has a range of dishes created with food and drink that have been sourced from local suppliers and producers.
