Vibrant on the inside with the peaceful lake on the outside, the Mawson Lakes Hotel is certainly ideally situated. The food was reasonable fare, yet perhaps nothing to rave about. A decent modern hotel.

The service is good, however the meal was a bit of a disappointment. The food was AVERAGE and a bit overpriced for AVERAGE food. The atmosphere is nice however, family orientated with children and elderly.

Last night was my first visit here. The service was good, the wait time for food was good, the staff were friendly. The food was nice, however I wasn't overly impressed with the salad bar as there wasn't a huge range of salads. The pricing was similar to other pub/hotels in the area.
While the dining room is very large it isn't overly loud, which is great as I hate noisy dining areas

Approximate cost: $19

The menu leaves a lot to be desired for vegetarians. You can have the salad bar for $8.50 (hardly good value!). About the only thing (other than vegetarian lasagna) is a bowl of chips which were a bit too fatty for me. Seems like a construction workers pub (lots of that going on around the area) with huge schnitzels served in the front bar. We ordered a vegetarian pizza once and had to send it back twice, first time it was still frozen in the middle and the second time it was just soggy. They did give us a refund. The new booths in the Lounge Bar provide a nice place to sit with friends and have a quick lunch if you don't want to sit in the restaurant or in the 'blokey' front bar. We would go again because it is the only pub in Mawson Lakes, and we would only go for a drink in the lounge bar.

Approximate cost: $17

Seems a lovely hotel but the meal was just ok with suprised me. Also the day we went we seems to be packed in pretty tight at a two seater table near a long party table.
