We arrived in the afternoon and spent much of it unpacking, lazying around enjoying the hotel room, and wandering around the island. The island is small, so you can easily walk from one end to the other. The really unique thing about it is that it’s like being in a little village where everything is linked – there are multiple hotels but you can access all their pools, and everyone gets around by either walking or using the little golf buggys. Very cute!

The whole place has a tropical island resort feel and everyone wanders around in swimsuits or beach wear, so you truly do feel like you’re on holiday. Time pretty much comes to a standstill, and I kept getting confused what day it was, because everything’s just so relaxed, easy-going and unfussed. It was the perfect way to unwind 🙂 We were also delighted that we had lovely weather – it was sunny and the air was balmy, a far cry from Sydney’s current state of wet, cold rains!

After we poked around the island discovering it, we decided on the Steakhouse, which completely lives up to it’s namesake. “Specialising in 6 star grass fed beef, which has been aged on the bone for a minimum of four weeks”, Steakhouse is all about meat, meat, meat. We were really blown away with the quality of the food and the very decent portions – Chris opted for the T-bone steak which arrives sizzling, with a rich mushroom sauce and a baked potato stuffed with sour cream and bacon. It was DELICIOUS! The bite was perfect, it was tender, and the taste was full and satisfying. Was incredibly impressed, I thought it was even better than Kingsleys Steakhouse here in Sydney!

I opted for the Lamb Shanks on garlic mash, which sounds rather bland but the word SHANKS as a plural made me order it 😉 Normally you get 1 shank which is enough for most people but not for me! Bwahahaha!! I need much more so was quivering with happiness when it arrived with TWO big shanks resting on buttery garlic mash potato. Oooooooooooh. Chris eagerly eyed my dish and gave it the big thumbs up. The meat was tender and very, very filling because of the sheer amount. It ended up being a bigger portion than the steak, so it’s awesome value for money!

We declined on dessert as we figured we’d grab an ice cream on the way back, but by the time we stepped outside, we were too full to stuff in any more 😉 A fantastic first meal……….. with much more food to come.

Much, much more.
