Testimonials
โA fantastic spot for a family outing. Thereโs plenty of outdoor seating and kids playgrounds, and it’s pet-friendly too. The food was delightful, and the staff were excellent. We had a great time and will definitely be back for more.โ
โThis place is such a massive win if you have children!! I live on the Northside of Brisbane and travel over once a week for a great morning of play and food with my son and our friends. The kids place space is fantastic and I cannot believe itโs free. Itโs very toddler friendly and I find myself more relaxed when he plays here than at a regular park. The food and coffee are delicious and well-priced. The open grassy space has a lovely outlook onto the river and is a great area for little ones to run around in a safe placeโ
โWe finally found a place that makes family outings stress-free! At The Hills of Rivermakers, the kids were happily occupied in the play area while we got to sit back and actually enjoy our meal. The menu had plenty of options for everyone, and the gelato was a massive hit with the little ones. Best of all, itโs free to use the play area, so youโre not spending extra just to keep the kids entertained. Highly recommend!โ
