GULAGA Wholefoods, BERMAGUI
Gulaga Wholefoods sits at the top of Bermagui town, wrapped in the verandah of an historic boarding house, where people of old used to rest before boarding for their ferry trip north to Sydney. A combined bulk wholefoods store, organic café and plant-based drinks bar where you can shop consciously, then sit and gaze over the ocean to Gulaga Mountain herself with an organic Delano coffee or health-giving smoothie loaded with super foods.
