Heading to the Copper Coast and fancy a budget friendly cafe-style meal in a beautiful setting?
Who loves pondering a garden shop, perusing the aisles of adorable pots and plants, and enjoys a cup of amazing coffee too? We do! Moonta Garden and Landscape Supplies has everything a parent of 3 kids could want! We wandered the aisles looking at all of the beautiful garden merchandise and then sat down for a cup of hot java, the best cheese toasties the kids have ever eaten, and Chloe’s famous chocolate eclairs.
Just off of the main street of Moonta, Moonta Garden & Landscape Supplies teams up with Chloe’s Cafe and Coffee Bar to delight your senses and bring you another wonderful option to feed and entertain the kids on the Copper Coast! If you’re heading to Yorke’s, you’re likely excited about the sun and beach, right!? But what if that Summer vacation you had planned at the beach is enveloped in wet and stormy weather or it’s an absolute scorcher and you’re already sunburnt? Head on over and see Leanne and Chloe at Moonta Garden & Landscape Supplies… and no it’s not just for the adults! Miss 8 and Mr 11 begged and pleaded for a meditating cat planter!
At Moonta Garden and Landscape supplies the kids are well catered for, with books to read and colouring-in sheets, find a words and pencils. Let’s face it, as parents, this is something we really appreciate! A small detail that makes eating out with young ones so much easier – a few uninterrupted minutes to browse the menu and order a much-needed caffeinated drink. Take your pick of indoor seating in vintage tables and chairs. Alternatively, if the weather is nice, outdoor seating is available under cover at the front of garden centre.
Chloe makes and bakes all of her own food in-house and it’s FEEL GOOD food with a beautiful home-baked cafe vibe. Although the menu changes from day to day, there is always a chocolate eclair available for those rumbling tummies! There are a number of hot and cold options to choose from for your morning tea or lunch. There are cakes galore with chocolate, caramel and white chocolate eclairs, strawberry puffs, blueberry muffins, and white chocolate muffins, strawberry and chocolate cakes, homemade sausage rolls, BLT focaccias and ham and cheese or salami and cheese toasties. AND OF COURSE COFFEE and delicious hot chocolates for the kids!
And if you have extra time while you are in Moonta, and are looking for something crafty to do, Moonta Garden & Landscape Supplies also hosts a number of different workshops throughout the year, from mosaics to succulent art, wreath making, kokedama creations and more!

Did you know that Splash Town at Moonta Bay Foreshore on the Yorke Peninsula is an entirely FREE waterpark for kids and families? Think waterslides, tipping bucket and a whole heap of waterplay fun. It's a fantastic community facility, open for every one to use. South Australia has some really great little water parks and water slides, however a lot of them are hidden in various tourist parks and only available for use of their customers, it can be hard to find one that everyone can use, especially with out paying. A real family holiday fave hot spot, the water park is able to be used by kids (and adults…well nobody told me off) of all ages and abilities. My youngest was a little shy at first but he was covered by the little slide in the park. The eldest kids (and me) had a ball on the 4 big slides as well as the big water bucket. With plenty of seats and grassed areas to sit and watch the kids, as well as it all being fenced off, this just makes for a superb family arvo. Once you finish at the water park you can wander the nearby beach…
All I can say is, WOW! If you’re looking for a large, modern, family holiday house on Yorke Peninsula - have we got an absolute beachfront treat! If camping is not your thing, or if you'd just rather the convenience of a house and comfort of amazing instant ducted heating/cooling then this is your place. Every thing is provided, from crisp white bed linen and lush fluffy towels to a coffee machine and pods. No need to pack the car with the kitchen sink - or unpack it again when you return home. Sleeping up to 10 people comfortably across four bedrooms, you won't have to fight for the bathroom, with not one, not two, but THREE full sized bathrooms - including a double spa bath in the master. Trust us the kids loved warming up in here after wearing them selves out at the beach. Perfectly situated on the beachfront, the real highlight is the spectacular water views from the huge balconies. Rug up with a glass of red wine or hot chocolate in winter and watch the weather roll in, or enjoy alfresco dining and entertaining in the warmer months. We guarantee you'll be swept off your feet.…
Ah the Copper Coast. Every South Australian worth their weight in pie floaters and frog cakes will have a story to tell about some sort of family adventure on our famous Yorke Peninsula. Whether it be getting stuck in a 20km traffic jam past Port Wakefield with every other person in the state, or being chased by an emu at Innes National Park (maybe thats just my story?), there are so many reasons why it always has been and will remain such a popular holiday destination for us all. Fun fact; the whole peninsula is a really bloody big place! Looking kind of like Italy and probably about the same size (not a fact), it doesn’t take long to drive around the whole peninsula but to properly relax, explore and take it all in, now that takes a bit of time. As a result for our trip we focussed on the northern part of Yorkes, the Copper Coast. Making up the towns around Wallaroo, Kadina, Moonta, Port Broughton etc, this beautiful part of the state has so much to offer for families. Given the price of petrol is higher than the moon, the fact all this is under 2hrs from…
