We loved our dinner here. The food was good and the staff were chatty and fun and interested in us and our comfort. The decor is quirky and definitely feels like a really relaxing space. Prices were reasonable and quality good. Recommended ✅
Loved the food here beautiful and delicious. Great options for non-meat eaters like me. Nice, chill vibe and not far from home. Definitely recommend
We recently celebrated my husband's 40th birthday at The Colonist, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Sunshine was an absolute pleasure to work with. True to her name, she was a ray of sunshine—friendly, professional, organised, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. She made everything feel effortless and ensured every detail was taken care of. On the day, the entire team was so hands-on, attentive, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration with our family and friends. The food was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. A huge thank you to Sunshine and the entire team at The Colonist for making my husband's 40th such a memorable occasion. We highly recommend The Colonist to anyone looking for a nice, relaxed venue with exceptional service and amazing food. We will definitely be back!

The Colonist Hotel Review I had a pleasant stay at The Colonist Hotel. The service was excellent, with staff being attentive and professional. The food was also delicious, offering a great variety of well-prepared dishes. However, the environment was not ideal—the lighting was a bit dim, and some areas felt slightly outdated. Despite this, everything else was great, making it a generally enjoyable experience.
