Finlay is underrated on google.. This spot perfectly blends chill outdoor vibes with seriously good craft beer — brewed right on-site! The food complements the drinks beautifully — think hearty pub bites with a twist: crispy fries, juicy burgers, and sharing platters that pair perfectly with a cold pint. Service is friendly, the crowd is easy-going, and the atmosphere feels effortlessly relaxed — ideal for weekend afternoons or golden-hour catch-ups. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a cool outdoor hangout, this place hits the mark. 🍺✨

Food was very nice, portions were huge! I had the seafood basket which had 1 big piece of fish, 3 squid rings, 2 prawns, 1 seafood stick and a nice portion of chips! Very filling! Would recommend people to come here who want a decent portion of seafood! Pork belly burger was good too! Very juicy and tender, and at a decent portion and price point as well!

Absolutely wonderful. Customer service was amazing, atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was cooked to perfection. Busy, but no longer than at 5-10 minute wait on food. 100% recommend to anyone.

The dining experience at this restaurant was outstanding!! Walked in without a booking and accommodated straight away. The customer service was excellent with drinks and meals ordered and supplied very promptly. The food was next level and the ambience was lovely, seated outside with soft lighting and views of the Kalbarri waterway. Great value for money. A must visit when you are in Kalbarri!

Delicious! You won't regret choosing Little Leaf. The service is absolutely fantastic, as is the location. Easy parking and a view out over the beach - the sun sets over the water right out front, so it's definitely a recommended spot for sunset dining. The oysters were fresh and creamy, from Albany. The tacos also delicious. The absolute favourite was the Chicken Quesadilla Tacos with guacamole - crispy tacos and 'finger licking' chicken. BYO alcohol 😉

Its a very cosy shop that only has a few sitting inside, and 2 tables outdoor… the shop smells incredible with the baked pizza scent. They have many options to order from, and quite a number of vegetarian flavour. I ordered the 4 cheese pizza and vegetable pizza… the vegetable pizza is soooo filled! Many toppings and I loved it! It has so many olives and capers… the staffs are really generous with the toppings, the cheese is flowing !! Anyways the pizza is really really tasty! Lets talk about the vegan and gluten free options.. they are available, however it’s an extra $4 for each request

To be honest I was a bit worried about going back here since we had had two not so good experiences about 12 months ago, but we are so glad we did give it another go! Saw some advertising about some specials and new management so thought why not give it a try. We went on the Wednesday night which is now a new special grill night with some cheap options, $20 sirloin steak, $15 rump steak and $15 chicken breast. I ordered the sirloin and the choices of sauce was mushroom or pepper and so I asked to pay extra and have both which was not a problem and I must say both were obviously made in house and were both delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and the chips were crunchy and tasty. The small side salad was fresh and crispy and was enough as it was all quite filling and very good value for $20. Husband had the same with mushroom gravy which he said had some noticeable garlic in it and he was impressed with the flavour and as he is the 'gravy guru' that is a huge compliment. The son had the rump and although slightly overcooked was still very tender and tasty. It was obvious the meat is of high quality. Still short on staff as is most of the restaurants in Kalbarri, so drinks were slow to come but apologies were made without us saying anything. Very nice new management eager to please. If you don't like your dinner on a cutting board they will even put it on a plate for you if you ask. So if you haven't been for a while or had some bad experience in the last 12 months, I highly recommend that you give them another go, we're glad we did.

We came for breakfast, and then had to come back for lunch. Great friendly service, food was awesome and came out fast. beautiful views over the river and you can sit with your dog in the alfresco area

Well located. Minutes away from the national park with a view of the sea from your room. Friendly service staff. Amenities were adequate but not extensive and it did not seem that the rooms were serviced daily. Not a big deal for us as we only stayed 2 nights. Rooms were new with good electrical outlets for charging devices

First time ordering. Recommend you text your order so you can get what you want as it sells out fast. The Gulang Ikan Pedas, I don’t know what Margaret puts in it but it was the best thing I ate during my trip to Kalbarri. Highly recommend it

We had a great stay at Kalbarri Palm Resort! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly and check-in was smooth. One of the highlights was seeing kangaroos in the yard — such a unique and fun experience! The location was convenient for exploring the area, and we enjoyed a delicious steak and chips nearby. Great value and highly recommended if you’re visiting Kalbarri!
