Melbourne Cup at Sawtell Hotel

Fancy food, flowing drinks, and a reason to dress up on a Tuesday? Yes please.

Melbourne Cup is trotting back around, and there's something special on offer for everyone this year.

A three-course set menu, champagne on arrival and a drinks package awaits.

There'll be sweeps, a lucky door prize and a best dressed competition to add a little extra fun to the afternoon. Once the race is run, Who's Charlie will take to the stage to keep things going.

The courtesy bus will also be running, so guests can settle in and enjoy the afternoon without worrying about the drive home.
