Questions

Everything people
ask us first

And the short answer to the one we get most: no, you do not need to be a member.

Opening hours

When we’re open,
and when to ring first

The kitchen keeps the same hours every day. The bar and café stay open later three days a week, and that part depends on the weather and on what else is on at the clubhouse.

Breakfast
8:30 – 11:30am, every day
Lunch
11:30am – 2pm, every day
Bar and café
Open until 5:30pm on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, weather permitting
Friday Happy Hour
4 – 5:30pm, every Friday
Closed
Christmas Day

The later session depends on the weather

Wednesday, Friday and Saturday the bar and café aim to stay open to 5:30pm. On a fine day with golf on, we will be here. If it is raining we will most likely close at 2pm with the kitchen. Ring first if you are making the trip for the afternoon.

A private event can close the café to the public

The clubhouse hosts weddings and functions, and when one is on the bar and café are usually closed to everyone else. It is worth a phone call before you come, and certainly before you plan a group visit. Sometimes there is still room on the deck even with an event inside, so it is always worth asking rather than assuming.

Do you have to be a golf club member to eat at the café?
No. Harrington Waters Clubhouse Café is open to the public and everyone is welcome. You do not need to be a member of the golf club, and you don’t need to play golf. Locals, visitors, families and community groups are all welcome to walk in, sit down and order at the bar.
What time does the café open?
The kitchen is open seven days a week, 8:30am to 2pm: breakfast 8:30 to 11:30am, then light meals and lunch 11:30am to 2pm. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday the bar and café stay open until 5:30pm for bar snacks, coffee, cake and drinks, weather permitting. Friday Happy Hour runs 4 to 5:30pm. Closed Christmas Day. A private event at the clubhouse usually closes the café to the public, so ring (02) 6556 0409 to check before you come.

Is the café good for children?
