We have also been advised the Terminal itself no longer has a cafe, only vending machines selling water, drinks and a limited range of snacks. The terminal opens daily 6:00am – 7:00pm daily. The staff at the Terminal are no longer able to fill water bottles on request as they are on bore water and there are no outside taps people can access.

Since the closure of the Cape Jervis Tavern and General store, the Big 4 Caravan Park has a small shop.
