UPDATE. As a result of the flood back in January, the store and cafe have been completely stripped out, cool rooms, bathrooms, cabinets... almost a shell of its former self.

Extensive planning and work is going to breathe new life into the store and cafe, however, as with many insurance rebuilds, it has taken a while to get to this point.

We were hoping to be back open for the upcoming school holiday period, but that won't be happening.

We don't have a specific opening date as yet but we are shaping up (hoping) for an early December opening. For certain you will hear from us, as soon as we have a date for that.

Thank you for your patience and we hope you are looking forward to the opening as much as us!

Hi all,

The last week or two have been a bit topsy-turvy. Apologies if you haven't been able to collect your parcels.

The following days... - Mail collection will be available:

29 Jan Thursday 11-4

30 Jan Friday 11-4

31 Jan Saturday 11-2

1 Feb Sunday closed

2 Feb Monday closed

3 Feb Tuesday 11-4

We shall see how that program works.

We have set up in a site shed out the front of the kiosk for now.

Unfortunately, the Cleanup at the shop is scheduled to go for another month, removing damaged cabinetry/plaster, more cleaning and also removing all equipment for thorough cleaning. Then repairs operations commence.

The process is evolving and it's difficult for us to say exactly how long this is going to go on for.

See you all soon.

Thanks

Thank you for the outpouring of support. It is so great read all the comments and feel the love!

Whilst cleanup has commenced and continues here, and the road is open, the business remains closed :( we want to ensure the place gets thoroughly cleaned, dried and repaired where necessary.

We also won't be back open for the long weekend ahead.

However, our friends at up the hill will be open and happy to see visitors back in town. I'm sure the communities along the great Ocean Road at large have been missing their usual summer trade that keeps them open for the rest of the year.

We will be receiving parcels from again from today onwards.

What a week!

After the deluge, our little coastal community has showed up in the biggest way. Neighbours, friends, and visitors all pitching in to clear the mud from our shop, help out at the caravan park, and get the park and beach back to their happy, sandy selves.

So grateful for these Legends! 🙏

Wild day.

Many thanks to the immediate response from and .builders for the community bbq. for hosting thirsty, displaced and hungry campers.

Plenty of cleaning up to do.

Everything happened so quickly today - thanks to all involved. And thanks to all the staff who promptly evacuated the premises today.
