cat cafe, melbourne
Cat lovers rejoice- this is a crazy unique experience!
Whether you are a cat person or you are not - this is a crazy unique experience! Let Mamma explain…so yes, it is a cafe and there are over a dozen or so cats! Essentially, you can play with cats, pat the cats, brush the cats, dine with the cats and relax with the cats. It feels like you are a guest in their two story home, where they sleep and roam freely.
You are welcome to also roam freely, grab a cat toy to entice some cat play or order a snack and just watch the residents slink around! They have all kinds of places to escape to or explore and Mamma loves that these cats are all rescue cats.
On our visit here one of the feline keepers whipped out some fresh blades of grass for the cats and they came clambering from all directions to munch on some grassy goodness.
Very odd and very cool.
Mamma says this is a place for peaceful and quiet times with some special little animals. We love it. You can book a minimum of 1 hour visit (that includes a drink) and you can order more food if you like or additional time can be booked via the website.
Mamma’s special mentions: Before you get excited and tell the little ones - kiddos need to be 8 or over to enjoy and experience here!

igloo wonderland @ the wharf hotel, melbourne
This will take your next city based catch up to the next level!
This will take your next city based catch up to the next level. From now until the end of August, you can wine and dine in your very own igloo, right along the banks of the Yarra. You will find The Wharf Hotel at the World Trade Centre end of town and you can’t miss these pop up domes. They are ideal for this time of year as you are out of the weather, and come complete with cosy blankets and fluffy cushions.
Booking one of the mini igloos gives you a share platter, plus a bottle of wine, a jug of beer or - more aptly - a thermos of mulled cider. You can bring the kids too! The igloo is available for 4 to 8 guests and the door zips up so you can trap them all inside, away from the water. Plus there are kids meals on the menu if they aren’t so keen on sharing with the adults. There are two BIG Mega igloos on offer - it sure is cool way to enjoy the outdoors … without being in the outdoors!
Mamma's special mention: Dining at The Wharf Hotel, you have the city at your fingertips! Check out where Mamma has explored with the tribe on our Mamma Knows City page.
