With its laid-back coastal charm and nourishing menu, Tides Café, Bar & Restaurant at the Deep Blue Hotel & Hot Springs in Warrnambool is a perfect spot to refuel after a soak.

Airey's Inlet
The Captain Of Aireys
Wood-fired, hand-stretched, family-run business – this Aireys Inlet favourite serves up traditional flavours with locally sourced ingredients giving the pizza’s a delicious regional twist.

A delight to dine in, with a some of the best local wines on the list, or takeaway and grab a tub of Timboon Ice-cream or a six-pack Salt Brewing co. (made a few hundred metres up the road) to make it a meal.
