TheForkUserMeal portions were very large, the Honeysuckle chicken schnitzel was as enough for two! Best chicken schnitzel ever. Staff were friendly, only criticism would be that tables needed to be cleaned. Beautiful waterside relaxed atmosphere.

TheForkUserAbsolutely love The Mattara. I am a regular patron (at least twice a month) for both lunch and dinner and the reason for this is the excellent and friendly service I always receive from the dedicated staff. Menu has something for everyone and I've never left there feeling hungry. In fact there's so much left, a doggy bag is always provided. I can highly recommend the Mattara as a family friendly hotel with delicious food and professional bar and food service. 10/10

TheForkUserWe had a fantastic view and ambience was quiet and peaceful. We had received a $200.00 gift voucher for a 40th anniversary present and we were able to have 4 beers, a cocktail, 4 share plates and a desert and we still had $28.00 leftover. The food was served quickly and tasted amazing. We will definitely be going back and taking friends and family with us. You can get a 10% discount immediately by scanning the code in the menu and adding the digital card to your wallet. Great Value.

TheForkUserLoved that we could find a halal place to eat in the middle of hunter valley. The food was beyond what we expected. The raspberry chocolate desert was by far my favourite. We will definitely come back here with family and friends.
