Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had the food from the little cafe there. Omg, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! My partner and I had the fried chicken one, yum!! The portion sizes, flavour weren’t compromised by the cheap price. We paid $32 for 2 burgers, both with chips and 1 juice. Don’t be filled by the old exterior, great place to eat!

It's worth a drive up to mingling waters Nowa Nowa in east gippsland to have their famous burgers. Burger with the lot perfect for you meet eater's. Their Vegetarian burgers delicious with beautiful flavours, all with rosemary salted chips.

several weeks ago, i happened to pull into this divine little café for a break off the road. The classic burger and rosemary chips were fantastic. The chips were the best I have ever had, still crunchy and flavorsome to the last one. I also ordered an ice chai with ice-cream which was also the best. I am watching my pennies at present being redundant and this feed was very reasonable for my pocket. I will defiantly be stopping here for a break next time I head to Mallacoota. I highly recommend this cafe, the staff were wonderful and friendly which made for a great experience. The cafe has an array of beautiful paintings and geo rocks which were fantastic. I have elderly mates returning from Marlo in a couple of days. I recommended them to pop in for a quick feed and coffee. Congratulations Mingling waters cafe, you ticked all the boxes. 😁😁😁😁

The best good sized quiche with beautiful flaky pastry, the best large croissant with lots of filling and not squashed flat. Great coffee and huge pot of tea. Looks like the range is poor until you pick up a menu. Lots of home cooking.

We were camping at Mingling Waters Caravan Park for a small family catch up. It was fun jumping off the jetty at the bottom of the park. The camp kitchen and under cover seating area is great and the sites are really generous in size. Grandparents stayed in a glamping tent decked out with an above floor queen bed, comfy deck chairs and firepit which overlooked the water. They have a bistro now so we had a feed there one night. Very generous portions. Think it’s under new management. Would recommend.

Also tea towels and caps. Don’t forget to check out the big tree root.

Did not stay at Caravan Park but stopped for Lunch.
Both run by a young couple. The building from the outside looks neglected and run down. New owners last year who are working hard to improve site.
The customer service and food is amazing.
Service was efficient & friendly.
I chose The Burger with The Lot. Best burger ever.
The meat was excellent. Every bite of my meal was fresh. Perfect.
Chips perfect. 20/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Please try it. Don’t judge this by its cover.

We had a tasty burger and fish n chips. Both were tasty and fresh with crunchy chips. Coffee and tea were good with a choice of milks (almond, soy etc).
