Food Scene

The atmosphere at Plateau is upbeat, warm and welcoming. A relaxing bar on one side, formal restaurant on the other and an enclosed outdoor dining space ideal for summer. Meet friends and have a few social drinks - stay and have dinner. The prices are reasonable and the service is great

Hot pools. Private pools are great, entry also allows you entry into the public pools afterwards. Free showers and you can rent lockers for your valuables. Located at the bottom of a very short, steep hill so a good level of fitness is required!!
