With a new team in the kitchen, the emphasis for Café Lamplighter at the Best Western Coachmans Rest Motor Inn in Eden NSW is on offering guests a real taste of Eden.

With two local chefs in the kitchen, the new menu has been designed to showcase the local produce, especially the fantastic fresh seafood on offer.

These days running a motel is about a lot more than just offering weary travellers a place to rest their heads. It is about offering guests the chance to really experience their destination, said property owners Deanne and Chris Bibby. Our new menu for Café Lamplighter ensures visitors experience the amazing fresh produce Eden has to offer. Not only do we offer them a good nights sleep and the chance to experience our great region, they can enjoy the taste of Eden as well.
