Shoal Bay Country Club Hotel reviews

4 Star Review by Kaitlyn Fry

Went to mermaids for brunch this morning with the family. Good service, friendly and fast. Lots of seating inside and some outside with a view of the beach across the road. The food was nice, generous portions. Big breakfast was yummy. Coffee is very nice too. Would be nice to get a coffee and walk along the beach just across the road.

5 Star Review by Pao Basilio

Absolutely Perfect! Been here a couple of times as we love to try everything in the menu. Be sure to come in early to get in one of the best seats upstairs by the window for the amazing view of the Shoal Bay Beach.

5 Star Review by Jeremy Sedley

We ate at Amos which is an AMAZING Greek restaurant based at the country club. Hands down some of the best Greek food we have ever eaten. Plus service to match. Opposite the beach at Shoal Bay and we got lucky with a beautiful sunset.

2 Star Review by Trang Ngo

We were staying at Fingal Holiday Park. Thought we drop into Shoal Bay for dinner. We saw Shoal Bay Bay Country Club looks busy so that was a good sign. Upon entering very warm welcome service was on point with smiles The food was a very big let down. We order a rump Medium Rare, which came out Charcoal. Smoky Ribs it tasted like short cut been made , tasted like boiled rib with a brush of BBQ sauce instead smoke.

5 Star Review by Christopher Dobson

Perfect location. Dinner upstairs looking over the water is magical on a nice evening looking out over the water and the mountains. Have had many meals here and the dinners are excellent. Pizza is top tier sourdough wood fired pizza. Breakfast is great as well, though the servings are a little on the smaller side. Would definitely recommend. 80% of the staff are great, some are very slow and clearly dont want to be there however especially the lady in the bar with the bandana. The wait to order breakfast is pretty rediculous as well having to stand in line for 15-20 minutes with only a handful of people in front of you. It is worth the wait though!

5 Star Review by WESTERN CITY AUTOS PTY LTD

Well all I have to say is Im absolutely speechless about this restaurant Atmos. Highly recommended for families! Service was fast , Food was delicious and Amanda our waitress was professional , polite and what I loved about her the most is that she was amazing with my boys she had a giggle with them, Amanda had time to hear what they had to say or ask. Love that! I give Amanda a 5 star review also. Also we never get a chance to say anything about the staff at the country club. They are under the pump every time we go there. I must say great service also great food and for the security that are at the door no one ever mentions them . The security guards Darren at the front door and Richard thats inside should be promoted as he always has a smile on his face when we enter , he is friendly to my boys, friends and family always there to help you in anyway possible . 5 star for you Darren also. :)
