Food Scene
We love to have a light dinner at the bar and talk to all the locals dropping in
Best food in town, and it's where all the locals gather. Great breakfast plus lunch and dinner can be really nice on the back patio.

One of two caves close to Murphys, with walking tours. If you're looking to rappel you need to go to Moaning Caverns.
