Wow, this place is absolutely amazing! Every time we’ve visited whether it’s the Tuggerah or Erina play centre we’ve had such a great experience. The best part is the service. The staff are always interacting with the children and really making the experience fun for them, while also bringing coffee straight to the parents. It makes such a difference and shows they genuinely care. The centre is always clean and well maintained, which is so important when you have little ones. My child could happily play here all day! We will definitely continue to recommend this place not just for the play centre itself, but for the consistently fantastic service every single time.

We just hosted our little girls 4th birthday at little lane Erina. All the children and mums had such a great time. The space is secure for little ones and well laid out for maximum parent socialising (or down time!) while still being able to see and supervise your child. The play areas are so well thought out and provided for as well as incredibly clean. We arrived early and the team was finalising reorganisation and sanitising from the previous play session. The picnic catering offered for the kids was perfect. Enough to keep their tummies full and fueled for maximum play, while still being fun, it wasn’t “over the top party food” which I really appreciated. The biggest bonus of all was the excellent coffee and snack menu available. All my daughter’s mums really enjoyed their coffee selections and it was great to see a summer menu on such a hot day. We also polished off what the kids didn’t eat from the picnic. Corine and her team made us feel welcome and ensured everyone had a great time. We’ll definitely be going back for play dates.

This was amazing, our 3 and 5 year old girl and boy, LOVED it!!! There's only a certain amount of children permitted per session, so it wasn't overcrowded. The session was 1.5-1.45 hours, which was enough for us, but the kids would have stayed longer. There's a free coffee for the adults and a special eating room for the kids. We look forward very much to taking the children again.

The Little Lane Play Village and Cafe is such a gorgeous spot for both kids and parents, this is our fourth time here and it just keeps getting better. The play village is beautifully set up, thoughtfully designed, and so cute, keeping little ones happily engaged while they explore and play. Everything feels clean, welcoming, and well cared for, which makes it easy to relax as a parent. The cafe is a real bonus, great coffee, tasty food, and a calm, friendly atmosphere where you can actually enjoy a moment while the kids play nearby. My personal recommendation is the iced blueberry latte, it is absolutely delicious and a must try. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely, which makes the whole experience even better. It is the kind of place you leave feeling happy and keen to come back. Perfect for playdates, catch ups, or just a relaxed outing with kids. Highly recommend.

I had my 1 year olds birthday party at the Little Lane and loved it. They were so helpful and lovely through the organization and the party was great. They took care of the catering and decorations so all we had to do was show up and enjoy. The play space is well set up and clean. Love that they provide coffee for all the grown ups - and it's good coffee too. I would definitely recommend for kids birthday parties as well as just a great place to take kids for a play.
