Abbie Lane is a delightful place that is a feast for your senses! When you arrive, you are greeted with a clean, relaxed, family-friendly environment.

Abbie Lane consists of a café, a women’s clothing store, hairdresser, real estate agency, a quirky caravan store and other shops to rouse your curiosity.

You can choose to sit inside the ‘The Café at Abbie Lane’, however you will likely be drawn to a table outside in the well-kept surrounds under the shade of a large umbrella. Sit back and relax whilst you take in the serene environment outside in the garden.

The gated kids’ area is a safe, easy to view playground which allows you to enjoy breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea in some form of peace!  It’s fantastic and provides lots of toys and activities to keep the kids entertained. The Café provides a great menu with a large array of options to suit the fussiest of taste buds.  They also cater specifically to the little ones which is a bonus. With live music most Sundays, why don’t you come along to see what the fuss is all about?
