Our restaurant has been lovingly restored to its former Edwardian glory and caters for large groups. We provide a la carte dining for groups up to sixteen people. For larger groups we offer set menus or buffet options.

Deck
The deck overlooks the golf course and is shaded with sail cloth. There are approximately 60 seats and provides cafe style lunches and /or a la carte dining for small groups. Bookings for summer are essential.

BBQs
This is the most popular form of dining over the summer months for obvious reasons. We do not do barbeques for groups of less than 30 people.

We have two barbeque venues:
The first is attached to the hotel with a marquee cover and crushed shell floor. There is also a decking area for bands. This area will cater for groups of up to 100 people

The second barbeque area is detached from the hotel and caters for large groups. The venue is split level and surrounded by mature trees. The top level has a marquee, BBQ and 'shack bar', the lower level has a floodlit beach volleyball court and ablution area. There is excellent power supply for bands and DJ's

 

Passing Through
Mystery bus trips, 21 st parties, stag and hen parties or birthday parties: PLEASE if you
are planning a visit during the summer season 'on the way through' phone and warn us
ahead of time. This assists with staff rostering and service standards. Snacks are no
problem, but again, please ring and book.

Please Note
If you are considering us for your Christmas venue this year, bookings are confirmed on
receipt of a $10 per person deposit. We DO NOT take pencil bookings. Dates are hotly contested so 'first up, best dressed.' Numbers must be confirmed the Monday prior to the function.
