Lake Illawarra Hotel reviews
4 Star Review by Peter Waegele
The bistro at Lake Illawarra Hotel is great. Meals all tasted good, and service was very friendly. The owner greeted us and gave my son a free ice cream. We will be back.
3 Star Review by Kristy Benham
Nice pub, Food was mostly good except the mushroom sauce was jelly like and had a weird taste. The surf and turf was nice even with the unusual tomato type sauce. Oysters Kirkpatrick were ok although they were smothered with bacon and a bbq type sauce not the usual worstershire.
5 Star Review by Ian Smith

We came as a group and were enjoying ourselves, not being noisy, then out of nowhere got refused service. On top of that the food was rubbish. Never go there!
