For sale is an unique opportunity to purchase either the business alone or the business and freehold of the award-winning chook café and 3 bed cottage located between Taree and Port Macquarie on the stunning NSW Mid North Coast.

Unlike most cafes, the location is probably the biggest selling point along with the unique dining experience, which is unlike anything else on the Mid North Coast.
The cafe is also home to "Little Bird" voted Australia's Top Chicken and most recently appearing on Channel 7's Sunrise, Channel 9's The Today Show and ABC Radio Mid Coast.
Karl Stefanovic even quoted "Moorland Cottage Cafe has The Best Scones In The World".
Located just 200m off the highway it's a destination for locals to meet up and frequents many return travellers up and down the coast.
The property is a timeless gem which exudes warmth and character dating back to the early 1900s.
The café has an eclectic blend of old-world charm and modern comforts where the tearoom doubles as a quaint gift shop, boasting high ceilings, and stained-glass bay windows. There’s a cozy wood fire for chilly days, or air conditioning for warmer ones, plus an inviting undercover courtyard for al fresco dining. The property overlooks farmland at the back and includes a large chicken coop for the fancy free range chickens.
The cafe kitchen area has been modernised over recent years with all equipment fully owned and in good working order. A large majority of items were purchased from new 2 years ago plus a new walk in cool room / Freezer has just been installed in Feb 2024.
The popular yet easy to produce menu includes the renowned “Best Scones on The Coast” alongside hearty cottage pies and delectable high teas.
Dogs are also welcomed into the courtyard area of the cafe where their owners can choose from their very own Dog menu, a popular and lucrative addition to the business.
Current trading hours are 9am to 3pm Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday.
The café is supported by 12 staff, all casual and can seat up to 35 customers inside, 34 in the undercover courtyard and over 100+ outside.
Adjacent to the café and included in the sale is a 3 bed, 1 bathroom cottage with an open plan lounge/kitchen and French doors allowing a picturesque view of the garden and updated deck separate from the café grounds. There is a neutral clean décor throughout, updated floating floorboards and generous sized bedrooms. 45,000ltrs of tank water and a bore with 10,000 ltr tank are included.
The current set up allows for the resident cafe manager to remain on site to take care of the free ranging chickens (the star attraction for customers) and to monitor the slow cooked lamb and beef which is cooked overnight in the cafe ovens.
As the current owners embark on a new chapter, this property presents a rare chance to own a piece of local history.
The opportunities to grow this lifestyle business are endless, from extending opening hours to hosting evening dinners and obtaining a liquor license for live music events. Additionally, the property’s versatile layout allows for the possibility of hosting weddings, private events, or even accommodating a tiny home for extra income.
