    What a wonderful place to have lunch. The ambience was truly beautiful and the food was outstanding. We were a group of 8 and the quality of food was amazing, just like a 5 star restaurant. The steaks were cooked to perfection and the different sauces were flavour sensations. Desserts were to die for and the staff were very friendly and looked after us exceptionally well. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bush Inn.

    My partners calamari was divine. My rare scotch was THE type of steak I want served at the restaurant on top of Mount Wellington, after I rode the cable car up there during a snowstorm. It was bloody grand...

    We have just recently bought a house and moved to the area. We feel so lucky to have The Bush Inn as our local. The food is exceptional and we’ll be regulars.

    After so many brilliant reviews from different people, we headed up to try it out. Very disappointed. Limited menu. Food was expensive. Plates were small. Parmy as big a your fist. 7 chips and terrible slaw. We were excited for a great meal, fell terribly short. Service, however, was great!

    One of my favourites but tonight it didn’t hit the mark. The fish was very overcooked.
