Why you enjoy the club: Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and it is a great place to come down with the family and socialise. Some of the special events (Brazilian BBQ, fishing comp etc) are great fun too. My wife, Frida, and I also had our wedding reception at the club in January 2023, and everything was so easy and went so well, so I’m very fond of the club for that experience.
