Piotr Obst
Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. The pizza is actually pretty good, similar to what you find in Europe, although not that large. Potato cake is a little bit different than in other places, but still great. They have a low rating from the fuel pump sometimes not working, so keep that in mind.

Yatzies in Laver's Hill is on the Great Ocean Road. It is a very popular café on the way. Very busy with passing traffic. It has a great vibe, and lots to eat on offer. We had a great coffee there. The view is into the forest, and there are hundreds of birds, most quite friendly. They come a parade in front on the railing, especially near their planned feeding times. Yes, well recommended.

Great stop on the way to the Great Ocean Road We stopped at Yatzies Café on our drive toward the Great Ocean Road and were really glad we did. The service was genuinely friendly, the kind that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The highlight was the freshly made margherita pizza — simple, flavourful, and done just right. It was the perfect break before getting back on the road. A lovely little spot worth stopping for.

This is a great place to stop by. The customer service and food are both good and the atmosphere is really great with colourful birds around.

A wonderful cafe with a very nice interior and comfortable seating. Went there for a coffee break during our trip and it was definitely worth it as we not only had coffee and rested but were also able to feed the birds for free! Would certainly return when possible. Recommend.

We have visited for late breakfast and tried pancake, Aussie beef quiche and schnitzel sandwiches which were all good and fresh. Pancake was made on demand. They prepared my coffee wrong but still the staff was kind and nice. Definitely will visit again.

Well worth a visit when driving the GOR. The staff are very friendly; with great service and most food items that you would need. It is located in Laver's Hill (on the Great Ocean Road) and appears to be a quite popular café - with a great vibe. With q forest view, there are many different birds to watch as they land on the railing, especially near their planned feeding times.
