Sanctuary Lakes Hotel - Food VIC

4 /5 Tim Butler: The 500g rib eye was great and chips and salad too. I did ask for a medium but got a well done. Could give larger pepper sauce. Meal was $57.80 with a soft drink. Would have been nicer to sit in the Bistro area but the steak was only available in the sports bar. Will go back for the ribeye as it was good quality.

5 /5 William Murphy: Sanctuary Lakes Hotel is a fantastic place to dine, catch up with friends, or enjoy a relaxed meal out. The venue has a warm and inviting atmosphere — modern yet comfortable, with plenty of space whether you’re inside or out on the terrace. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, from classic pub favourites to more contemporary options, and everything we tried was full of flavour and well presented. Service here is consistently excellent. The staff are professional, friendly, and attentive without being intrusive — whether you’re ordering food, drinks, or organising a larger group. The drink selection is equally strong, with a good range of beers on tap, quality wines, and cocktail options that complement the menu well. The hotel also has hearty meal portions and great value for what you get, plus the family-friendly environment makes it easy to bring everyone along. Overall, Sanctuary Lakes Hotel delivers a well-rounded experience with great food, welcoming service, and a comfortable setting. Highly recommend!

Good coconut and fragrant flavours. chicken nuggets, crispy, meaty, best eaten hot. Biscoff cheese cake, creamy, crunchy, not overly sweet.

Average Smoked salmon, similar to supermarket offerings. Black bean beef, tasty, tender, some bite. Pappadam, crispy, strange taste and thicker texture than typical though. Pork, crispy tasty skin but meat lacked flavour. Apple sauce didnt salvage it. Lamb curry, tender, gamey, could have used more flavour. Mussels, fresh, lacked flavour. Salami, tasty but plastic like texture. Pork rib, tender meat falling off the bone. Much too sweet flavour. Chips, looks like McDonalds chips but not as crispy or salty.

Vegetable samosa, thin and lacked flavour. Fish bite, crispy but lacked flavour and bite. Pumpkin soup, too sweet. Beef stew, tough and dry. Roast beef, bland. Mushroom gravy overly salty. Service Servers were very prompt with clearing the dishes and friendly. Atmosphere Tends to get noisy with large groups celebrating.

5 /5 ARUN: Holly and her team truly made my daughters birthday party a memorable celebration! Their services were exceptional from start to finish. The food was plentiful and delicious, with a great variety of items that catered to everyones tastes. What impressed me most was how attentive they were; the trays were constantly being replenished before they even had a chance to get empty! Beyond the food, Holly and her team did an amazing job arranging the room. The atmosphere was perfect and really contributed to the overall festive mood. Holly herself was a constant presence throughout the party, always available and ready to lend a hand to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her dedication and support were invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for anyone looking for a stress-free party with great food and a wonderful atmosphere. Holly and her team will go above and beyond to make your event a success!
