Horrible food, horrible service. Been coming here for 20 years or so as a family. Not only was the woman that was head of the kitchen rude, this is my second negative experience with her where she has served horrible food. Pasta was just boiled noodles with some water and tomato puree, the chips have no seasoning, the mushroom gravy tasted off, the chicken burger was burnt and dry. Not sure what happened or when it changed hands, but we will no longer be returning to balgownie hotel as a family. Unfortunately succumbed to the rest of the pubs in Wollongong serving mediocre food with no effort at the price of almost $40 per meal.

You can't get a cheaper meal at this place anywhere. I had the fish and chips for $16. It came with 4 big portions of fish and a stack load of chips and salad. Needless to say I couldn't finish it, which was rare in my case. Lunchtime crowd was slow which surprised me. I had similar fish and chips at Glenorie but that came with 3 tiny sticks of fish and a small serving of chips for over $26. When I'm next in Balgownie I will be co.ing to this place for my next meal.

We visited Mt Keira and came back to the hotel for a very nice meal. The hotel atmosphere was great. We went up onto the verandah which goes around the building and the views are impressive.

I had a 21st event here and it was honestly amazing. The events coordinator Jess was so helpful when it came to organising and putting together my dream event. She made lots of things happen and everything was amazing. The staff for the night were super friendly and were amazing with the guests, I was so happy they were on my event. All guests raved on about food and service stating they will be back for lunch in later future. It was such a nice venue, with lots of amazing spots for guests to sit around and/or take photos.

Thanks to Jess for her tireless help in organising our daughter's engagement party in the upstairs function room on Saturday night. It was a fun night and so many of our guests contacted us afterwards to compliment us on what a fantastic venue it was and how well the night went. Your bar & service staff were amazing & couldn't do enough for us. The food was great too!
