Lovely setting. Easy to get to. Lots of transport or parking options. Gorgeous space. We went for Adelaide International day session. All staff were very helpful and friendly. The food options were well priced and fresh- and the entire place including the bathrooms were lovely and clean.

Love coming to watch the tennis here, however the vegetarian food option is always fries. Bit disappointing. Rest of the complex is well set up.
