Beautiful venue, only attended for a work function no for rowing and it was great, the views of the lake are amazing!
Sally Hendrie
The food and view are lovely. I didn't appreciate the attitude of the staff who worked hard to rush me out even though I arrived within hours. It felt like it was an imposition to order food 35 minutes before the kitchen closed. Management may need to address this.

We ordered coffees as soon as we arrived, but they didn’t show up until after our meals were served—despite the restaurant being only a quarter full. When we asked about the delay, there was no apology - just a curt and short “they’re on their way.” When the coffees finally arrived, they were undrinkable. The flavor was burnt, the foam overly airy, and worst of all, they were cold. We also ordered the pistachio croissant, which for $8 tasted like a store-bought Coles croissant with a spoonful of pistachio spread and a few stale nuts sprinkled on top. It, too, was served after the coffee - even though it required zero prep. Again, no apology, no acknowledgment. That said, the frika egg was genuinely delicious, and the smashed avo dish was well done. The setting is lovely, with a beautiful view of the lake. It’s just a shame the service couldn’t match the quality of the food or the location.

I called at 115 today to book a table but was glad to hear no booking necessary. However, we arrived at 158 to be told they were closing at 2. We're very disappointed that the lady on the phone didn't alert us to this fact. Not sure if we'll bother coming back. There was 4 of us including a 94 year old who doesn't find climbing in and out of the car easy.
