We needed a place for dinner as we had a ghost tour we were doing in the rocks and after googling a few places for dinner I came across The Playfair Terrace and we were not disappointed. Everyone was really happy with their meals and the staff were very attentive. I would most definitely recommend and we will be back. It was also inexpensive, with wine, softdrinks and mains with some having entrees it was just over $200 for 8 people.

Well prepared meals with an affordable wine list. Unfortunately, the terrace is within the hotel so we didn’t get the views we were hoping for at The Rocks.
