02 Oct Morning Coffee, Lunch and Dinner
Pitches Store is the perfect place to stop for a bite, a drink, or stay in a boutique room if you’re wanting to explore a little more.
Beautifully renovated, Pitches Store offers luxury accommodation and delicious meals. Oh, and arguably the best coffee on the Rail Trail.
The contrast of old and new meet again in this spacious dining area, with the original doors up-cycled as counter-detailing, rustic wooden tables, sideboards and chairs perfectly complimented by contemporary furnishings and décor. An open fireplace provides the perfect spot to enjoy an extended meal with friends, or choose one of the more intimate tables for a more romantic ambience. When the weather agrees (most of the year), an outdoor courtyard with a shade sail is ideal for open-air dining.
