Guidebook for Currarong
Food Scene
Zac's Place is a mixed general store where you can get shopping supplies, alcohol, takeaway hot food, coffee or sit down and eat at the restaurant of a night. It is run by one of the local fishermen and his wife - so they seafood is always good and they often have fresh local fish available.
You can get enough supplies from here for the weekend if you don't feel like venturing out of Currarong.
If you eat at the restaurant the seafood platter is great value and highly recommended. 3 can easily share one. The restaurant is byo, and you can buy wine next door.
The takeaway hamburgers are great as well, we often get them for lunch.

Great seafood, downstairs is open for lunch - seafood baskets, fish & chips. Upstairs is open for dinner where you can get some great classics. You must try the local oysters which are amazing and if you ring a day before you might be able to get a fresh lobster. There is a nice park nearby for the kids to run.
