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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This coffee shop/restaurant became our go to place for the 5 weeks we were in Exeter and Moss Vale . Excellent coffee, sandwiches/toasties were excellent. Worked our way through the menu, but the Turkey on Turkish were very good and our favourite. The muffins are...very moorish as well. The staff were all very good, professional but very friendly. Could not fault this business.More

As a regular at this cafe, I am very disappointed with the two recent reviews. It is a five star cafe. A regular “ foodie” over the last six years.

I am a regular here and a “ foodie”. Don’t understand any negative reviews. Would come here at least once a fortnight for breakfast or a coffee and one of their famous muffins. The staff are especially friendly and helpful. The food is always an...excellent standard. This restaurant has the best “ French Toast “ in the area . I have tried it at a number of places. Perhaps the faults may lie with the customers’ expectations or manner.More

Every year when we are going further south we stop off in Moss Vale for a few days. Always come here for lunch or coffee and cake. Just for the experience. Food is always very good. Friendly team working here.

Couldn’t have been happier with our visit here. From the friendly greeting on arrival to the wonderful coffee (both in presentation, texture and flavour) to the yummy Tuscan vegetable soup (with garlic bread 😋) and my wife’s traditional lasagna and topped off by the amazing...New York baked cheesecake (worth the visit just for this alone!) our experience was exemplary! Owned and run by a group of yoüng passionate locals, this cafe has a very nice energy and we will definitely be returning every time we visit The HighlandsMore

We have been to this restaurant before and been quite satisfied but yesterday we had, had a business meeting in Moss Vale and asked if we could get take away as our train was leaving in 20 minutes. We ordered soup of the day which...was advertised on the counter blackboard, coffee and banana bread. I would have thought easy. We were asked to wait over near the door and were given the take away coffee. After about 10 minutes had passed we asked what had happened to our order. There was obviously nothing being done as the girl serving us said it would take 5 minutes and she was so unpleasant… no apology. We ended up with some money back for the soup and 2 pieces of banana bread, not heated after only ordering 1 but apparently paying for 2. ( I eat very little bread). We didn’t get a receipt. The whole exercise was very upsetting, I think we were treated very badly and I will not go back there. Luckily we caught the train with about 2 minutes to spare, It had been a long day and I would have loved something to eat.More

Very ordinary veggie breakfast, shabby presentation, no sauce of any sort, quite dry. Poached eggs on top of bread, made it all soggy. Gentlemen next to me asked for sauce also, and his mushrooms were missing from a plate. Also poor decor. Staff nice and...friendly and service fast.More

"Il Pranzo" means "The Lunch" in Italian, and what a wonderful lunch it was, too. The service was as good as the food. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. Strongly recommended.

Hi Trevor, Il Pranzo is a great little cafe in Bowral and doesn't offer accommodation. My best advice is to try the coast. Hope that helps. Regards, David R
