Nourish. Slow Down. Stay A While.
Nestled within the peaceful bushland surrounds of the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, Wild Light Café is an invitation to pause.
More than a café, it is a place to reconnect — with nature, with conversation, and with yourself.
Whether you're joining us after a sanctuary walk, arriving for a Wild Light experience, or simply seeking a slower moment in your day, you'll find nourishing food, mindful drinks, and space to breathe beneath the trees.
Menu prices are subject to change at any time. For the most up-to-date pricing, please visit us in café.

At Wild Light Café, nourishment is about more than what’s on the plate.

Tea, Ritual & Presence
Tea is at the heart of the Wild Light experience.
Many teas are served in a deconstructed style, inviting guests to slow down through the simple ritual of preparation, pouring, observing, and tasting.
Connected to Nature
Located within the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary, every visit supports a space dedicated to koala conservation, education, and nature-based experiences.
Explore the sanctuary, walk the Skywalk, or simply sit quietly amongst the surrounding bushland.
Catering & Events
Thoughtfully nourishing food for retreats, workshops, celebrations, and private events.
From grazing tables to shared lunches and retreat catering, our seasonal menus are designed to bring people together through warm, mindful hospitality.
