Turfmate Cafe
Looking for somewhere to grab a coffee or snack while the kids play? Turfmate Café is a fantastic little gem located in Cranbourne South.
The back corner of the Turfmate Cafe is set up with a little cubby house and shaded sandpit and the lawns are scattered with toys. You’ll also find a mini soccer field, swinging egg chairs and even a 3-hole mini golf course.
Turfmate is also home to some very cute fury friends.
You can’t miss the loud group of goats at the front of the play areas. Walk around the back to say hello to the resident llamas, the muddy pig and miniature horses.
The owners are hoping to soon reintroduce animal feeding, but for now the kids will enjoy the farm like atmosphere.

What’s on the Menu?
Parents can enjoy their coffee or hot pie gathered around a covered table or enjoy the sun on haybale seats.
The café also provides snacks, mini party pies, sausage rolls, pastries, croissants & milkshakes.
