Anglers Rest Hotel reviews

5 Star Review by Eva Lacuna

Glad for making a spontaneous visit to The Anglers Rest. Great little spot to leisurely while away your lunch and enjoy the sun. Hospitable and efficient team, both in the bar and restaurant. Tables fill quickly on the deck, especially on a sunny day like we had, so expect a short wait or to ask if you can share tables with smaller groups. Look for the blackboard menus and take a pic to decide on your meal. We both opted for the seafood plate, and thoroughly enjoyed the freshness, quality, and generous portions. Worth the visit and a great way to see this lovely riverside village.

4 Star Review by Clayton Anstiss

This place is excellent. Been coming here on and off for years . The girls behind the bar are super friendly, the set up and decor really nice. Huge menu. Highly recommended for a weekend drive or ride destination

1 Star Review by stephanie green

Extremely disappointing. They say on google they are meant to open until 6.30pm. Beautiful Saturday afternoon at 5.30pm and we made the 40min drive with a one year old to find out its closed. I can't tell you how frustrating this was for my family. Made the 40min drive home with a hungry screaming child. I wouldn't cone here again and I'm definitely not recommending this place to my friends. You actually made our afternoon Extremely difficult.

Awesome day

1 Star Review by Jeff Camilleri

Over priced and underwhelming. Ordered an angus steak. Tough and small. For the price I expected excellent. Wouldnt complain if the cost was on par with the quality. Avoid this place for lunch.
