Great service from the staff. Please phone a head as it is usally very busy.

had my engagement party here and the staff were absolutely exceptional they made planning an event so easy. The platters were amazing!!!

I ordered the fish of the day which was the blue eye cod fillet with carrot puree and kale. I am usually adverse to kale though was pleasantly surprised how everything complimented each other. My wife and son ordered the Southern fried chicken pieces with a garden salad and rib eye steak. The waterfront pavilion is a great place to dine with the family and have an enjoyable meal while gazing the manning river.

We drove from NSW to QLD and stopped here for lunch and turned out the food so amazing yummy and tasty with the view of the river!

Memorial service held for my father. Staff were exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Food and coffee and drinks were excellent. Manager Donna was very knowledgeable in what was needed and followed up with phone calls and emails to ensure all went well. Venue has amazing view and loads of space. Wall mounted TV ‘s to accommodate any presentation. Stage areas either end to again provide spaces for performers. Exceptionally clean. Highly recommended for celebrations. Parking available but popular during regular daylight trading hours of Taree CBD.

I went to the waterfront pavillion to try it out. It is right near the river with great views. I wasnt disappointed with the food either. It has good service. The chips in beer batter were delicious and they were not oily....which these days is a surprise. The dessert of rose poached pear with icecream and pie was delicious. I could have done without the pear and more rum caramel icecream and pie. All was a good price too.
