Just some of the delicious food on offer

Need a break from the everyday? Feel like a relaxing country drive with a delicious meal and cool beverage to greet you at the end? Then look no further than taking a drive to the Dunoon Sports Club, nestled in the self-proclaimed macadamia capital of NSW.

After a 40-minute drive from Byron Bay into the hinterland, or just a 15-minute drive from Lismore, through countryside scenes of evergreen farms, and farm animals of all sizes, you will arrive in the air-conditioned comfort of their fully-licensed, family-friendly, community-run club.

Started in 1993 to support the community and local sporting clubs with cold beers and hot meals, the fledgling club that originally operated from under a fig tree has grown significantly, offering services and activities through the steady stream of volunteers who have committed their time and talents to continually improve the space for everyone’s enjoyment.

Today, you’ll find an expansive, no-pokies club boasting a large deck for 70-plus diners with accompanying stage for musical artists, a meeting room for functions, as well as two free pool tables!

Whether taking in the tranquil view and cooling afternoon breeze on the deck, or sitting in the air-conditioned restaurant area, treat yourself to the extraordinary meals of Anna’s Greek Kitchen, the authentic taste of Greece, available from  5:30pm every Wednesday to Saturday.

Anna combines the freshest local ingredients in family recipes handed down over generations to produce mouth-watering favourites such as moussaka, spanakopita, your choice of lamb, chicken or falafel souvlaki to name but a few.

Why not combine a selection of activities, such as a trip to Rocky Creek Dam, Minyon Falls, The Channon Markets or other local gems, with Wednesday Night Trivia, Friday Night Raffles or Live Music Saturdays and you have the recipe for a great day and night out. The huge deck is dog-friendly, so no need to leave your furry companion behind.

Open from 4pm every Wednesday to Saturday. Come see us soon!
