Lois runs the Lake Edge Cafe at Lake Purumbete in the heart of the Volcanic Lakes and Plains and just a 10 minute drive from Camperdown. It features delicious home made food with much of it home grown and always served up with a good dose of country hospitality. The Lake Edge Cafe is a local favourite for long lunches. Hand crocheted rugs keep you warm on the deck in winter making it a favourite of ours too!
