20 Tyers Street,
Stratford, VIC 3862

Inspired by Melbourne laneway cafes, this fashionable venue commands a prominent corner site on the busy Princes Highway. The striking charcoal and yellow facade welcomes locals and travelers alike into a funky fully renovated boutique cafe, dining room, alfresco gardens and function room.
This benchmark premise offers a complete lifestyle package for the tree change searcher, a business, a residence, a large parcel of land, and the chance to start afresh in a quirky country town.
Entering the cafe you are greeted with an on-trend coffee prep area with espresso machine, POS terminal, retail area and lounge. This leads through to the main dining room with double fireplaces, trendy artwork, high ceilings and views over the courtyard. The alfresco courtyard offers a tranquil, leafy setting, tucked in behind the
idyllic white picket fence. This space opens onto the further private dining/function room which features the original Stratford bakery wood fired bakers oven. This industrial style space allows for further growth of the business. Attached to the old bakery is a charming 2 bedroom self contained caretakers residence with private bathroom, kitchenette, solid fuel heating and generous lounge room. This space leads out to the shedding, chicken and duck coup and massive rear yard which is ripe for further development of accommodation or more dining space.
The venue is serviced by a near new industrial kitchen, which has been rewired, new grease trap, new equipment, walk in dry-store, double door fridges and freezers. The cafe operations are managed by a large central office which could easily be converted into a private dining space, or connected back into the main cafe dining room.
This cafe is the central coffee & food-store at the gateway to the Gippsland Lakes and receives both local patronage and a huge tourist following.
This commercially zoned property is ready for further development or continue the great reputation and following that Badger & Hare has gained in its 4 years of operation. This freehold is being offered on a walk-in-walk out basis.
