Awesome experience! We had the Seafood buffet on a Saturday night and took advantage of the early bird special, very affordable compared to other seafood buffets in the area. The prawns, oysters, scallops and smoked salmon were fresh and delicious. My partner said the mussels were also wonderful. I enjoyed a few more hot dishes and beautiful desserts (the chocolate fondue was delicious) followed by complimentary coffee. Drinks are reasonably priced and a wide variety. Staff are very attentive, friendly and welcoming.

The food was great together with the experience. I was quoted and booked at $99 per head - considered a most reasonable and value for money. When the bill arrived it had an additional tax of $20. When questioned I was advised that this was GST. This was not stated on the confirmed booking. Most disappointing. GST has now been around for some 30 years and inspite of regulation, this tax is being used as a an add on. legislation states that prices must be quoted net of GST. An excellent dining experience left with a bad taste.
