Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Pakenham Racing Club is the perfect venue for Christmas break ups and celebrations.
It is a fabulous venue giving everyone a great view of the races.
We were in the Reserved Dining area along with several hundred others and the food was first class, restaurant quality! Everyone at our table was surprised by the standard. However we weren’t as we’ve been there before and they lived up to their usual high standard!
Great day out!

This is the second time that we have visited this venue for our annual all staff conference. There were about 150 of us, and we easily fitted into the conference room. Furniture was very comfortable, and the view out over the racecourse was good. The meals last year were disappointing, however this year, they were great, service was quick, and plenty for everyone. Good place for your corporate function.

We have been attending ladies day oaks day for years.
I wasn't that impressed this year.
Food late coming out.
I had gnocchi for entree and it was very heavy couldn't eat it.
The pork wasn't crispy just fat on top.
Salmon was ok and a strawberry gelatine desert nothing to write home about.
It seem to lack atmosphere quite boring.
Hard to see the track from room shame not higher like at cranbourne.
Didn't seem to be very busy unlike the old track.
Upside tables decorated beautifully and no lack of champagne.
We think we will go to Flemington next year.
