It's one of the only shows in town, but luckily the Stationhouse (built 1901) is a winner. The cafe serves fruit smoothies, good coffee, excellent eggs Benedict, savoury muffins and indulgent baked goods, along with a sizeable menu of main courses. In good weather, grab a spot on the deck for views of the water and Mt Alexander.
