Our Story

Our journey began with a simple, yet profound dream: to create a place where people could gather, share incredible food and local wines, and walk away with memories that last a lifetime.

Now a true family-run business, EaTs Estate is led by social media influencer Ellen Crepaz, her husband Peter, and their sons Toreno and Alessandro. Together, they bring to life the flavours of tradition, guided by the recipes of Ellen’s Yia Yia, Eleni Fotoulis. Every dish is more than just food it carries the warmth, hospitality, and love of generations.

In 2025, Ellen was recognised by the NSW Government with the Hidden Treasure Award for her dedication to the Hastings community. From driving mental health movements and supporting those facing homelessness to uniting locals through festivals and food, she has spent more than five years building connections that matter.

Today, EaTs Estate is more than a venue. It’s a vibrant celebration of culture, authentic connection, and community spirit. With over 21,000 followers on Facebook, we’ve become a space where local legends are celebrated, small businesses are championed, and passion turns into possibility.

From pop-ups and festivals to loyalty programs, charity partnerships, cooking classes, and wine trails EaTs is about heart, hustle, and homegrown goodness. Here, you don’t just come in as a customer you leave as part of the family. And if you’re lucky, you may even get to meet Port Macquarie’s own “social girl,” Ellen Crepaz, welcoming you with her trademark warmth and smile.
