Reviews
Carina Tamou – December 2020
Awesome place. Good food and friendly atmosphere. Kids can swim while parents eat (if old enough). Good mixed crowd from casual to dressed up, young to old.
Our new go-to spot 😊
Alex Wah – January 2021
Service is friendly and food is nice. Price is fairer in comparison to the area. Is a nice secret spot that was recommended by locals. I suggest visiting here during the day for the view. Was my favourite place to eat around Airlie.
Gabby Kowitz – February 2021
Great food. The view is amazing and they have a pool/spa
