    We had an incredible experience with a varied menu that was different than other hotels, which was great for a change. The presentation of the food was second to none. The way the food was cooked was to perfection. The service that we received from Kate was so professional, friendly and very attentive. We LOVED our overall experience. We will definitely return.

    What a find ! We decided we needed a lunch to welcome a new team member and boy, what a terrific choice Centra was for us! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Ross, our Irish attendant, right through to leaving, we were treated as valued guests. Connor, the bar manager was equally friendly and attentive. The express lunch menu is fabulous - how many places can you get a top class meal WITH a glass of wine for $30? Barramundi, steak and two specialist focaccia buns absolutely hit the spot! We were also lucky enough to meet new owner Rowan, who has great ideas about Centra’s offering in the coming months. Keep an eye on Centra. It has a great vibe. It has fabulous staff. It is a tremendous venue. I am looking forward to my return visit.
