Paradise Country Farmhouse Restaurant

Last updated April 2026

Step into a storybook farm at Paradise Country Farmhouse Restaurant in Oxenford, Gold Coast, where breakfast is served with a side of animal antics. This kid friendly restaurant isn't just a meal—it's a morning of meeting farm animals, watching a whip crack show, and feasting on pancakes while cows graze nearby. Little ones delight in brushing donkeys, feeding chickens, and even milking a cow, turning a simple breakfast outing into a full-on farm adventure. The sprawling outdoor setting makes it feel like you've escaped the Gold Coast bustle without leaving the region, with plenty of space for kids to run and explore. It's the kind of place that turns a weekday into a weekend highlight, especially when the weather's fine and the animals are active. **What to Bring** Comfortable walking shoes for the farm area. A hat and sunscreen—shade is limited. A water bottle to stay hydrated. A camera for the animal encounters. **Best Age Range** Perfect for toddlers through to early primary-aged kids, especially those aged 2–8 who love hands-on animal experiences. **Good to Know** Breakfast is served until 11am daily. Bookings are recommended on weekends and school holidays. Parking is free and plentiful. Cash and card accepted, but EFTPOS can be unreliable in peak times. **Nearby** Visit the playground at Oxenford Memorial Park in Oxenford for a post-breakfast burn-off. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive by 8.30am on weekends to beat the rush and see the animals at their most active. Bring a spare change of clothes—kids always end up mucky from the petting zoo. Don’t miss the whip crack show at 9am sharp—it’s a highlight the little ones won’t stop talking about.
