Mt Elephant Pancake Barn

The East Coast


This rustic, woody, hilltop place, 9km south of St Marys on the wiggly road to Bicheno, is a bit of an institution. Some say it's overrated, but the smoked salmon and camembert version sure hits the spot and the blazing wood heater will warm your very soul in winter. Cash only.
