We went as a party of six on New Years Eve. It's a bit out of (Nowra) town and a large venue split into what feels a bit like an old homestead with a converted barn attached. There's plenty of space and would make a good venue for a large party.

While the staff were attentive, the surrounds were interesting, and we had a good evening, the NYE menu was limited. Perhaps due to limited availability of staff, or they felt they couldn't cater all their options on such a busy evening. But the options that remained weren't too exciting and my steak was, I felt, quite dry.

It's worth a visit if you're in the area for a while, but I hope the quality of the food on NYE was an aberration.

Our party was 7 adults and a child - food was all good but clearly different things appealed to different people. Fairly pricey for the quantity but presentation and quality were first rate. Easter weekend so fairly busy but service was fine. Certainly one worth a visit / try

Loved the open expanse of the dining room with the wooden beams & tall, wood- panelled ceiling. The tables are set far enough apart to give your party plenty of sound space. The service was very attentive. There was 1 hitch when the original server didn't divulge 1 of the entrees ordered was off the menu for the night but it was quickly rectified. There is a 3 course deal for $48 which is good value. Our entrees were good - oysters, duck breast terrine, raviloi - except for the hastily put together salad substitute. The mains were also a good standard particularly the lamb & the linguine. The barramundi was less of a hit. Less potato mass & more fish & broccolini would be better. The toffee & ginger tart for dessert was a nice fish to the meal & the affogato had the amount of ice cream you would expect with it being a dessert on its own. The wine prices are very reasonable.

Really enjoyed our mid week dinner. Food presentation and flavours spot on. Nice relaxed environment. But...the wine list includes only a couple of local wines - if you look at the results from the 2018 South Coast wine show you will find nearly all the local heroes are missing. But...I will return
