Reviews
"Noisy function venue with accommodation upstairs, uncomfortable bed, tiny cold dingy room with no storage. No mention of disruptive noise in rooms prior to our stay or at check in. Spoke to duty manager, didn’t really care or offer any recompense. Accommodation parking taken up by restaurant patrons so no available parking on site…can only imagine reviewers giving this place 5 stars are used to camping. I’ve been on more comfortable school camps! You’ve been warned!"
"Delicious food, good portions and reasonably priced. The Soup n Sandwich is a bargain at $22, huge bowl of soup and a packed toasty. Service was not great, we asked for water 3 times and we still didn't get it. We asked for no tomatoes on the toasty, but it came with them."
"I enjoyed a lovely lunch in the Restaurant. Just as well the food was good because despite arriving for an early lunch with few people, the food was a very long time coming. Then we were all but forgotten. I wanted to order a coffee and ended up going up to the bar to order one only to be told that he would send someone to take my order, no-one came! You need more staff! You need to speed up service as not everyone will wait 40 minutes or so to eat. More salad on the plate would have been nice."
"The staff are fantastic, providing excellent and friendly service. Food is of consistently high quality and love the atmosphere. Three different areas to sit for general dining and I love that there’s the option for quieter areas when I have the kiddos with me as the oldest one has sensory issues, so struggles with loud environments. Love the coffee, the service and the building. One of my favs!!!"
"Very disappointing experience to say the least !! We ordered the salt & pepper calamari which was very ordinary, I'm sure it was out of a packet from the supermarket - tasteless !! the salad wasn't anything to rave about, chips were a pass. We also ordered drinks and the lemonade was flat and the coffees were lukewarm after ordering extra hot. I know it's quite hard for venues to retain good staff these days, but general customer service skills I thought would have been a requirement within the hospitality industry. Certainly won't be going back in a hurry, if at all !!"
