Excellent variety of food for breakfast buffet. Continental about $28 and full is $33. Great selection of items all freshly prepared catering for many dietary needs. Really good Bircher Meusli, breads and hot foods. Very helpful friendly staff too. More

It has been a very long time since we ate here but the place is still fantastic. It doesn't look its age at all. Food is amazing. Service is wonderful. More

The food at this venue is always superb and the menu changes frequently so a return visit will have lots of new choices. I love the creative selections here and the breakfast is to die for. More

From the delicious and reasonably priced light snack brought to our rooms to the amazing array of food for buffet breakfast the food at the Playford is really quite special and definitely reasonably priced with friendly and quick service. More

Fabulous table, fabulous staff, fabulous food and a fabulous wine list, and I wasnt even on a first date!! The staff here were very attentive and informative and the food was delicious. Cheese plate was a bit (no actually a lot) light on for $20 but it did not spoil the evening. Well done Playford! More

This would have to be one of the best hotel buffets. There was nothing different as far as the type of food, but more the fact that is organic and fresh. I liked the way the hot food was displayed in small fry pans - perhaps a 3-4 serve so you knew the food had not been sitting there to... More
