We held our little girl’s second birthday party at Rainforest Retreat last week and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived everything was taken care of. Katie has an incredible eye for detail and the children’s food table, decorations, party bags and balloons were all beautifully done. The whole morning ran seamlessly which meant my partner and I could actually relax while the party unfolded around us (ideal!), our daughter loved every second and kept saying "party" for the next two days because she wanted it to carry on. The layout of the venue is ideal for babies and young children. Downstairs there is a cosy play area with plenty of tables and chairs where parents can eat and enjoy a coffee. After food you head upstairs to the main play space which has a ball pit, a small play gym, colouring areas, toys, a floor piano and more. The best part is the seating. You can relax on the bean bags with a full view of the play area while your toddler explores and plays freely and the cafe team brings you a coffee. Katie will often appear with a new activity to entertain the children such as bubble machines, sticker time or setting up a xmas reindeer food making table! We now visit at least once a week because it is such a great place for little ones to learn, investigate and have fun. All our friends loved it too and the cake company Katie recommended was fantastic. They were more than happy to create our Peppa Pig and Gruffalo mash up cake. 10/10. Katie and her team are outstanding and I cannot recommend Rainforest Retreat highly enough. Your little ones will love it! :)

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with babies and children under 4 who want a spotlessly maintained space where toddlers can play independently as parents drink proper coffee. The two-level layout keeps children visible from the café seating.

What a little gem of a place! I visited for the first time today and thought it was brilliant. So much thought and attention to detail has gone into the play area, which include sensory toys, imaginative play and space to climb. It is super clean, with really friendly and welcoming staff. We will definitely be back :)

Beautiful place, very clean and organised and high quality coffee. We spent 3 hours today with 2 kids under 2, and it was the first time we got to enjoy our coffee, since the toddler was playing independently. Would highly recommend.

A lovely new play cafe! I would definitely say this is under 4s, but other than that it’s perfect. Spotless clean, friendly staff, good food. Lovely stuff for kids to play with. An absolute asset to Scisset. So glad this has opened.
