Upstairs buffet awful. Cold food and cheap in every way. Too big and too noisy every level. Downstairs café better than upstairs dining. Never go back. Outlook uninspiring.

Went to the Wednesday night seafood buffet and was very disappointed. Prawns, mussels crab and seafood extender was the limit of the seafood and quite bland at that. A large part of the buffet is deep fried and greasy. The chinese was ok but all looked a bit dried out. Spend your $25 elsewhere.

We were travelling up the coast, arrived hungry and a bit tired and this proved a really good option. Quick drink, meander through the buffet - you don't have to chose the fried stuff, there's lots of other choices. We had a lovely roast with veggies and all the trimmings for about $20 each. Staff absolutely charming and helpful. Well... More

We dropped in early on a Friday night with baby. The staff were extremely welcoming and buffet was excellent.if you want to avoid 'buffet-itis' then don't eat the fried stuff. Extremely cost effective relative to other local restaurants. Lists of space for prams if you leAve early enough, including a outdoor area overlooking tennis courts. Very sociable place - will...

Had the mother-in-law with walking frame, daughter-in-law and 3-month old baby & myself. More than enough varieties of food, selection, friendly staff, clean surroundings & beautiful views. Had it all.

During a week long stay in Port Macquarie we visited the club twice to try their different 'all you can eat' dinners. Firstly was the regular all you can eat buffet which included Salads, seafood, roast cuts, pastas, Chinese and Desserts. For $22.50 it is worth it's money but we both left feeling very ill as much of the food... More

We've been three times to this buffet and it's always packed, so I'd recommend booking during weekends and holidays. Has a selection of salads, roasts, fried food and chinese, but pretty limited dessert.
