Play Pokies at The Arcadia Village Hotel

Everything was so cool, who though of having a pool at a pub? Not me.
The kookburras may try and steel you food but don't worry the staff will save you with their watering to shoot them away.
The kids game room was a little hot form all the machines going.
But the TOAD races, I'm going back just for the races as a first timer to the toad races it was so cool watching people bet hundreds of dollars on a toad, but it all goes to a good cause!
Loved everything the food the atmosphere everything!

Called in to the hotel for a late linch. Had the Calamari, which was delicious and a dish I can highly recommend.
Beer was cold, service efficient and the surroundings quite pleasant.

Why then may you ask did I give the establishment a one ?rating...

The answer is quite simple. My other reason for visiting was to speak with the Manager to see if I could use their pool, for therapeutic purposes, along with a payment offer.

I enquired at the main bar, if I could have a quick word with the boss. After providing the barmaid with an over view, she went off to speak with said manager.

On her return, she informed me that he refused to see me as he was far too busy doing paperwork, and had no time to speak to me.
The barmaid suggested that I come back some other day and the manager might be available to see me.

I wont be returning!

If he can't find the time to put the paperwork aside for 5 minutes to talk to me, when I made the time and effort to drive down to see him, then I sure as hell wont be chasing around after him.

If he considers paperwork to be far more important than dealing with a customer, then he is both a poor manager and a lousy businessman.

So along with a lousy review he has he lost myself and my friends as clients and lost out on an opportunity to increase his revenue flow, from the proposal I had authority to offer.

He needs to learn that paperwork will wait, whereas customers wont.

In summary, I found his actions to be rude and disrespectful.

It is, as always up to you, the reader, of this review to make your own assessment of my comments.
But for me I do not accept nor tolerate rudeness or being disrespected. So ? Star is all it gets, end of story.

I've been multiple times to this family pub and each time has been an absolute pleasure. Great food and drink for a good price. Really nice atmosphere with a large resort-like swimming pool for customers. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options too

I've been here multiple times in the last 3 weeks. Every time the food has been magnificent, friendly staff, great service and the atmosphere second to none. Do yourself a favour and bring the family here for the day. You won't be disappointed. Thank you. I'll be back often. ??'???'???'???'???'?

great place to relax after exploring
and seeing the rock wallabies, too.

beverages and lunch were good, is
on expensive side (45 minute wait),
for lunch to arrive and was not bad.

calm atmosphere, when not busy &
odd curlews being noisy / roaming,
there's a mini arcade to play in too.
