Woodbridge Village Emporium

-

 

Woodbridge Village Emporium is a quaint café, providore and giftshop located in Woodbridge, approximately 36km south of Hobart.  

The café serves breakfast and lunch, as well coffee, sweets and takeaway. The menu offers some really interesting and tasty dishes, including some vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Whether you're a local or a traveller passing by, Woodbridge Village Emporium makes for a great place to stop and have a nourishing meal, pick up some local produce and take home some pastries, cakes or ready to eat meals.

All of the meals are generously portioned, tasty and great value for money.

The smashed avo on toast with poached eggs and whipped feta was a pleasure to eat for breakfast. It was accompanied by pickled beetroot and beetroot relish which added a pop of colour and acidity. There was plenty of avocado on the plate and all of the flavours worked well together.

The french toast with mixed berries, maple syrup and chai butter was beautiful to look at and eat. The combination of macerated and fresh berries added freshness and sweetness, without being overly sweet, and the chai butter was magical.

The classic poached eggs on toast with bacon did not disappoint. The poached eggs were perfectly oozy.

For lunch we enjoyed fillet of beef wellington with salad. The beef eye fillet was individually cooked in its own flaky cocoon. The beef was juicy and tender and the pastry was superb. The jus was rich in taste and colour and perfectly complemented the beef wellington. The salad added freshness to cut through the richness of the dish.

We also feasted on grilled chicken skewers with hummus and salad. The chicken was tasty and well cooked and was the perfect vessel to mop up the delicious hummus. The salad brought the whole dish together by adding freshness and texture. It's great to see a café putting just as much care into their side salads as they do with the star of the dish.

The cakes and slices were fresh and delicious. The scones, jam and cream were light and there was plenty of jam and cream. The raspberry jam had a tangy kick and was clearly homemade.

We also took home some pecan pie, carrot cake and orange and almond cake, which were moist and moreish.

We highly recommend a visit to this little gem - you'll love the food, gifts and local produce.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
