Before the 4 restaurants, ziplines and gourmet pancakes, there was just a dirt road, a banana stall, and one family's big leap of faith.

In 2004, Gloria and Werner Hoffman traded city life for banana trees — packing up their three young kids and heading to the South Coast with a dream to build something rooted, real, and extraordinary. The humble stall they bought had been around for nearly 50 years before a single tar road reached it. What they built from there is the Mac Banana you know and love today: a buzzing destination packed with adventure, flavour, and heart.

What to expect? Everything. Literally.

🍴 4 eateries — from savoury pancakes to full-plate farm fare
🛍 Boutique shops — deli, bakery, wine cellar, preserves, fresh produce
🎯 Activities galore — ziplining, jungle gyms, butterfly dome, paintball, putt-putt, pony rides and more
🧸 Family-friendly — kids' play zones, petting zoo, fun for all ages
