Harwood Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Kaptain Kerr
Had lunch here in September 2022 and really enjoyed the fantastic food. Amazing location right on the banks of the mighty Clarence river, in fact so close it's been regularly flooded over the years. Some cool historical photos above showing the pub during all the floods. The food was outstanding, well worthy trying if you are ever close by.
5 Star Review by Trent Murray
Surprising find. You can tell this hotel is very much loved and cared for by its manager. Food was excellent, all ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly. Great value too. Making this a regular stop to recharge during our travels from now on.

I have had 3 meals from the Harwood island hotel over the last 2 years and today I was once more amazed by the quality of food that was served. The surf and turf is to die for so much bang for ya buck , also the warm thi beef salad is amazing. Its just great to know when you go here you are going to get an awesome meal ever time. Thanks to the team at the Harwood island hotel .

Best steak Ive had in ages, the place was absolutely slammed and the chefs still delivered excellent food with perfectly cooked steak in a reasonable time considering how busy it was.
4 Star Review by tracey
Nice hotel, staff were very friendly. There was a fire place which is nice on a cool day. There was plenty of food to choose from and the prices were reasonable. There was seating inside or outside. We will definitely come back for lunch again.

Gee Harwood, what happened! Have been calling into this hotel for a meal for 10yrs on our travels up and down the coast, always been good until today..thai fish and prawn cakes were like rubber and tasteless, dipping sauce was uneatable and awful, thai salad was just a normal salad with a bit of vermicelli. 400gr Tbone was like a big chop and sinewy, not 400grms, very disappointed. Hope it was a one off.

Great food. Very pleased with calamari, duck spring rolls, garlic bread and chicken schnitzel. Would definitely go again.
