    Very limited, uninspiring menu. My partner ordered a steak sandwich, as the best of a bad selection. The bun was nothing special, the vegetables (salad) were the bare minimum, and half the meat was a piece of gristle and fat which was pretty well inedible. Lunch for the three of us was $250.00, and we failed to finish our meals, and ate from the fridge when we got home. And I am not a fussy eater, I will normally clean up everyone's plate. The view was great, and the staff were as good as anywhere. But buy a pie and stop at a lookout, at least you won't get home hungry.

    Dining experience poor. Very limited menu choices, nil fruit whatsoever offered. Hire a car to go shopping and dine elsewhere. Expensive, every item was charged. My meal was cold. I sent it back for reheating, only to be given a meal that was still cold, zapped for about 30 secs or 1 minute when it needed 4. The curry had no rice. Extra portion was costed as an extra. I didn’t drink the broath on my seafood bisque, it way too oily. Breakfast only OK, the meal was ok the first morning, it tasted very average the second morning. Breakfast was pre paid, one coffee only. We had to pay for our second coffee as an extra. In total we had 2 dining days, we could not have gone there for a third day as the menu didn’t offer us anything else we liked, luckily we were checking out after two nights. In summary I would only go there again for the nature experience which is wonderful. The staff were amazing, bird life and general rainforest ambience also amazing. If you want value for money, look after your own meals, eat elsewhere or take your own food with you including fruit and drinks. I won’t be returning, having a good food experience at a reasonable cost in any restaurant is a basic priority for me when I’m choosing a holiday resort to stay in. The cosmetics come in second. Good luck.

    Great lunch at Ospreys. Beautiful setting. Staff are so helpful. Even a buggy to get from the car park to the restaurant. Enjoyed the walk down to the private beach after lunch

    We had a wonderful dinner celebrating our 20th anniversary with our daughter. The food was great, the service was excellent, and the location was gorgeous.
