Oakover Grounds

Family wedding. Beautiful venue and scenery. Tasty food and great service.

Beautiful grounds, amazing food and service. Perfect for the whole family.

I was extremely disappointed with the service at this venue. We came to celebrate a 70th birthday with a large group and had to take our own orders, get our own cutlery and entree plates and bring all of our drinks to the table ourselves making it very difficult to enjoy our lunch. As we made a large booking for a big celebration we expected a little more service from the staff. Additionally we were charged a cake fee for the birthday cake but the staff refused to cut and serve it so we had to do that ourselves too. Very little assistance from staff with everything and average food too.

Today was my 3rd time in 6 months I've visited these beautiful grounds. Today I had the beetroot Arancini balls and they were very yummy and my husband had the honey glazed Chorizo and said how good they were. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the meals come out very quickly. The only downside is the noise from the visitors from the party buses that arrive. The girls are rather loud and once they've had a few drinks are very over the top in their behaviours.

Nice grounds with kid friendly play area and water paddle rides. Not a huge choice on the Cafe menu but good portions. Market with speciality items to peruse. Didn't dine in at the restaurant but defs function friendly.

I really want to like this place because it’s in such a beautiful surrounding. But I couldn’t honestly give it more than 3 stars generally because of the food. The food is very average and that’s where it ends. I’ve been there twice and have had the chicken parmigiana with chips and then the Vegan burger with chips. Parmy just wasn’t great. The sauce wasn’t great. I’ve had a lot better $10 parmigiana at pubs. The chips are terrible. They’re cheap frozen chips. I think maybe cutting their own chips would be a great idea. The Vegan toasted sandwich just average. The avo was on the bottom which made the sandwich soggy. Also too much rocket. The chick pea patties where too round which made the sandwich hard too eat. Again those chips, get rid of them. Invest in good quality larger chips or do your own.

Very nice grounds for a party! Great kid friendly areas. Very good food. Quick service with super friendly staff.

Always great times! Staff are welcoming and helpful

Had been here for the second time now. First time we were turned away because we had our dog, fair enough, no dogs but the lady's attitude towards us unbeknownst of the fact was quite rude. Today we came to look at the market, the very same lady approached us, acted like basil faulty because we haven't booked. She then with the bland expression began to tell us we need to do her a favour and order quick. It wasn't what she said but how it was said and the upmost unwelcome feeling. Shocking customer service skills

Such a lovely setting and the idea of having two eating venues is great, but I have only given 2 stars for various reasons. We didn't eat inside as we have a toddler and needed to be near the playground. The Smokehouse menu is very limited and while the pizza was ok, the brisket roll and stacked chips were tasteless and cold. The trikes on the lake were great fun but we had to wait ages because there is no system in place to ensure fair use. While this is not entirely the venues fault, I feel they should be stricter about ensuring parents take more responsibility. Most parents were not accompanying their kids as advised and I didn't enjoy having to parent other people's children so that things were fair and everyone got a turn. The market/deli was also underwhelming. That said, the cider was delicious and I love that you can take a picnic blanket and relax beneath the trees. So much potential!
