When you go to stanthorpe I highly recommend popping it to the visitor information centre for a chat with the helpful people there. We left with an armful of useful brochures and lots of hand marked maps with places of interest.
Lovely café great coffee and friendly staff, helpful broachers and pleasant views over river. Easy parking out front.
Very busy but well set up with friendly staff. Would recommend a visit here first if you do not know the area.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Situated in the lovely Quart Pot Creek with a short pleasant walk into the town.
Good access to information and located on the beautiful lake....heaps of water dragons around, next to nice park....
This was always going to be my first 'port of call' even though I had researched my trip to Stanthorpe using print and on-line sources. Having previously worked as a volunteer in a visitor information centre, I appreciated the decor and resources in this one. I particularly appreciated the ability to sit down outside overlooking the river and have a barista standard coffee and a delicious cake while I went through the brochures I had collected inside. Although I didn't buy many goodies from the Centre, because of their large range of local souvenirs and produce I planned to return here if I had missed out elsewhere. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the district and its attractions with a great range of brochures and print materials. Well done guys!!
I suggest that you do not purchase any souveniers from this place. As a local I have investigated them and go to the newsagent or Sam's warehouse and the like such as the reject shop. Post cards for $1.50 each? If you do not care about money well ...
Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre is located on Leslie Parade, just off Wallangarra road, which then becomes the New England Highway heading south towards Tenterfield.Besides giving good information, this little visitor centre has a nice café which serves great coffee and cake.Take it out the back to sit on the deck where you have great views of the Lions Park and Quart Pot creek.
