What better way to whet your and the kids' appetite then a walk around a lovely lake. Feed the black swans, breath the fresh lake air, stretch the legs and then treat yourself at Waterstone Restaurant and Function Centre.

Kids can feed the birds that stale bread
Besides the views to die for, you get fresh chef made meals. Finally, a chef who cooks a fresh hollandaise sauce for your Eggs Benedict and does not pour it out of a bottle.

Hollindaise not out of a bottle - praise the lord and please more sauce
I thought this type of chef was an extinct breed. You mean the chef made from scratch the raw ingredients and whipped to perfection - a sauce made from eggs yolks, lemon, a touch of pepper, and secret ingredients for my breaky instead of just pouring it out of a bottle? Yes finally! I will drive from Pakenham to find this.
And there are cakes and coffee to die for if the tooth fairy missed and you still have a sweet tooth. And treats for the kids as well. I forgot to ask if they do babyccinos!

Mum can I have that really big Biscuit

Kids and Parents love this place
Adding to that the fun ambience of the place is a play area for the kids, so mums and dads can relax over a meal and you have a magical combination for a great meal for the whole family and friends, parties and functions. I love a venue that understands parents' needs and caters for kids.

Protected Waterfront dining with the wow factor
Did I forget to mention the city view along the drive? Don't miss them. Probably the best view from outside of Melbourne and back toward the city in the state.

Melbourne Shines in the distance at Pt Cook
It is not that far away and quick across the Westgate Bridge. All freeway travel for some, and even if not, still worth an outing. Wasn't it beyond exciting the first time you went across the Westgate Bridge when you were little? Did you try to hold your breath the whole time? Warning parents - do not attempt this while driving.

Billy strums your troubles away
The locals love this place. And they have live music, and so much more, for a night out as well. The lights twinkle across the lake at night and create a magical event. And don't forget they cater for functions for any event you can imagine, with style.

Now Open just for you
Enjoy this lovely spot and take time to enjoy those Melbourne skyline views. I will tell you a secret location where you can enjoy them and a full playground in another Point Cook story.

Just imagine the lights twinkling at night; I must go back
