“ What a surprise The Tamarind was - we were given a voucher for lunch there when we took delivery of our new Land Rover Discovery from Pacific Land Rover in Maroochydore. We live in Hervey Bay so it was a 2/1/2 hour drive down on Easter Sunday in perfect autumn weather. The grounds are beautiful , we had a friendly water dragon and the meals were delicious - supported by wonderful welcoming staff. We will certainly be back - Thanks Scott & Katrina ”

We’ve been dining there for over 10 years and they have proven to be the most consistent fine dining venue in SEQ, testament to their longevity ”

“ What a really excellent dining experience. We enjoyed the banquet which smothered us in wonderful Asian flavours. Really hard to pick a favourite dish, but we loved the dumplings, the prawns and the pork belly. Really though everything was a delicious indulgence. The setting is also really beautiful, just a rich tapestry of greens all around. Service too was attentive and considerate. Definitely returning to this one. ”
