    As always food was great and gluten free options nice to see It can be noisy in the club, but this adds to the vibrant nature and the sunset views from the beer garden have to seen Reasonable bar and prices. Overall do yourself a favour and sample the Fairhaven surf club dining, you won’t be disapointed

    The vista at sunset certainly delights the senses. The ambiance and food offerings were a little disappointing. Felt like I was in a canteen.

    Excellent food. The staff are always friendly. The only downside is the noise level which can’t be helped. The setting over Fairhaven beach is beautiful

    There is a lovely deck out the back with amazing views up the coast. We enjoyed a drink there (it was surprisingly not too busy) before heading inside for our dinner booking. Everyone l(kids and adults) oved their meal and finished the plate. The service was top notch as well, both at the bar and the table. The nicest meal I have had out in a long time - generous serves and top quality food.
