Things to do in Lake Barrine

Activities, attractions and tours

Although it was still raining the Lake Barrine Teahouse was a lovely place to visit right on the lake. They’re famous for their Devonshire Tea and we appreciated that they had a little kiddies play area so we could have some down time with our tea. Lake Barrine is also well known for its relaxing cruises around the volcanic crater brim, or if you’re feeling more energetic there’s a 5km walking track around the lake.

Lake Barrine is the perfect place to stop during a tour of the Tablelands, but make sure you try their home made scones. So delicious and with a beautiful view to go with it! www.cheskiesgaplife.com
