Real reviews from guests
"Very impressed with the quality and layout of the Hotel renovation and the food and service were both great, I was there to watch a musical duo in the new venue attached and was equally impressed by the high level of detail that has gone into create what I guess is a 100 seat venue, the only problem was that for all the effort and expense that has gone into it the seating arrangement is so poor that myself and..."
"We stopped at the Tathra Hotel for lunch. The venue was clean and offered plenty of seating options including inside, out on the deck, or on the grass (which is dog-friendly ). There’s also a fantastic playground, making it an easy win for families. Service staff were friendly and our meals came out quickly. The only downside was the timing. Our mains arrived before we’d quite finished our shared entrée, so a little pause between courses would have made the..."
"Just dropped in for breakfast when we were staying in Tathra Caravan park. I had the Bacon and Egg roll, my partner had Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough bread. Both delicious and just right for breakfast. The dining room had spectacular views of the surrounding coastline. The outside desk area even better. This hotel has it all, talk about location location location. I wish I had stayed there as well, the hotel section looks very nice. I didn't have my camera..."
"Stayed in Tathra and we only missed going here for dinner once in a week; this included normal week nights and school holidays. This place is very popular, and rightly so, just avoid the 5.30-7pm meal slot on school holidays (if you don’t have kids), as it is chaotically busy when ordering, so leave it till 7.15 and it is back to normal busy. The food was consistently good no matter when we ate, particularly the fish dishes, the live..."
"I have stayed at the Tathra hotel twice now. On both occasions the staff have been amazing. Nothing is a problem. They are friendly and genuinely want you to have the best experience possible as you stay at their hotel. The food at the restaurant is very good and the view is to die for. Amazing place to stay on the far south coast ."
