Services
Abundance Garden Centre and Cafe, is a family owned business located on Rawdon Island Road, Sancrox, only 12 minutes from Port Macquarie town centre. The garden centre is run by John van der Ley, who has 40 years experience in the horticulture industry. Incorporating running a successful wholesale nurseries, teaching horticulture, talk back ABC radio and garden design landscaping he is involved in all aspects of the business.
Abundance is the largest producer of bougainvillea in Australia, with over 50,000 produced annually. Varying in size and variety there's something for everyone from the smaller 140mm pots to the super advanced 500mm pots. We grow over 100 varieties from dwarf to large vigorous growing bougainvilleas.
Ask about our Daily Blackboard Specials. Our delicious cakes, slices and scones are made right here at Abundance. We use the finest quality ingredients and an extra dollop of love to make them into a treat you will not want to share. We source ingredients locally throughout the seasons and our eggs are locally farmed free range from happy hens.
All I can say is this place is just like the famous Maggie Beers Cafe / Farm Store in the Barossa Valley. Copy her model and you can make this cafe, not a cafe but a landmark. Well done. Great view, food and facilities. We have had 2 family (very special occasions) events at Abundance. My in-laws 60th Wedding Anniversary and my father in laws 90th birthday in September last year.

Strange experience today. After waiting half an hour before following up where my order was, I was told it mustn't have been passed onto the kitchen. I politely asked for a refund as I had to leave.
The strange part was how I cannot actually remember receiving an apology. They said they would refund me, but that part was kind of a given. They handed the money to me. I said thank you. And that was that.
Perhaps some training in dealing with these situations would help. I didn't expect anything. Maybe me not making a big deal out of it made it seem like it wasn't anything... but it kind of did

Went here with my parents and our dogs - such a lovely, dog friendly venue. Great coffee and brunch, scenic lake with lilies, and a beautiful nursery!

The staff were well presented, smiling and importantly quick to serve. I noticed they were going out of their way to accommodate people with specific seating requests. The food was delicious and decently priced.
Would be good if staff did a bit more walking around during quiet times, I had to wait about 10 minutes before I saw anybody to ask for another coffee. Other than that small detail, amazing.

This place just keeps getting better. Absolutely fantastic cafe attached to a very friendly, beautiful nursery on the banks of a dam stuffed with lilies.
The food has kicked up another notch since last time we were here and I had an absolutely fantastic wagyu burger while my wife had a cappuccino soup.
