Collie Ridge

Everything was perfect Clean rooms. Great food happy helpful team members Thanks to the head of housekeeping for making this stay super special We just didn’t expect the cleanliness and amenities Beautiful area. Very very grateful for your teams attention to detail because I arrived one tired and grumpy traveler and even though you were expecting 30 firies to check in you still got our food order in for us before the madness

Restaurant review. I invited my family to The Ridge to dine for my 38th birthday. This was a decision I did not regret. The interior was well designed and aesthetically pleasing, clean and lit for a pleasing mood. The wait staff were attentive, polite and entertaining-not afraid to introduce humour to the table, which was a nice touch. I ordered the pan fried salmon, which was perfectly cooked, flavoursome and was well balanced with the mix of vegetables that were served on the plate. The atmosphere in the room was surprisingly halcyon for a country restaurant-even more so given the venue is currently undergoing an upgrade. Drinks were almost immediate and the wine list was well selected. In summary I would recommend The Ridge to any visitor, local or hungry individual and look forward to returning to try the rest of the well designed menu.

4 Star for the room only because the TV was not streaming friendly but otherwise the room was spacious, had good lighting options, was well equipped with utensils (not a standard) etc and very accessible between car and room. The best part of my on/off 3 week stay at various motels in Collie was the meal at the Ridge restaurant both in value, quality and most of all, the generous size of the meal and beverage prices, all accommodated to by attentive staff keen to make you feel welcome and without.

Three of us went in to the restaurant for a meal. Meals were average for a pub. Staff not very experienced or well trained on how to serve meals, one female staff member was happy to stand behind counter & ignore us while checking out her phone, even when we had to indicate that we required more drinks. Obviously not trained in how to serve meals properly to diners, meals in on the left empty plates out on the right & seriously never stretching across in front of other diners to serve a meal. Toblerone cheesecake was a surprise with a bland serving of cheesecake served with a chunk of Toblerone on top, a bit more imagination needed with it, try grating Toblerone through cheesecake or even on top. We assumed it may have been a bit more upper class than your average pubs, but no standard of dress code applies here, workers were coming through in work clothes, boots, shorts & thongs. Bathroom had no soap in, so I approached counter to advise staff & all they did was lay blame on previous day shift plus hand sanitiser on counter, where the female staff member had the spent the evening on her phone, was empty, also down to day crew apparently, not good enough for in a dining room. Won't recommend or return.
