welcoming guests to the Tweed Coast — and still family-run.
A hotel that does the whole weekend
Most hotels make you choose — location or facilities, quiet or action. Osteria was built so you don't have to.
Rooms and suites face the river, the kitchen runs from sunrise breakfast to midnight supper, the spa takes the afternoons, and the casino entertainment floor handles the nights. Weddings, conferences and lazy Tuesdays all fit under the same roof — read our story or jump straight to the full price list.

Package details300+ machines, roulette wheels, zero walk outside
The casino resort wing connects to the rooms by a covered walkway — dinner at Riverbend, a session on the floor, upstairs to bed. No taxis, no weather, no fuss.
Table-side drinks, a dedicated cashier lane for hotel guests, and hosts who teach beginners properly — roulette is the friendliest first table. Want privacy? The VIP salons run their own quiet rooms, a more private casino environment off the main floor.
Two kitchens, one serious bar
Northern Rivers produce, hotel-guest room charging, and a terrace built for sunsets.
Riverbend Restaurant
Buffet-plus-menu breakfast, pub classics at lunch, steaks off the grill at night. Kids welcome till 8.
Menus & hours
Ember & Oak
The quiet forty-seat dining room — five-course seasonal tasting menu and a 150-bottle Australian wine list.

What people say after checkout
4.8 average across 3,000+ verified stays — here's the flavour of it.
"Booked the Stay & Play for our anniversary — room was spotless, I won a bit at roulette, the host set a limit on the cards without us even asking, and breakfast till 10:30 saved the morning after."
"Ran a two-day conference here — AV worked first try, coffee was hot at 9 sharp, and delegates could stay upstairs. Fiona's team made me look organised."
"Live ten minutes away and still come for the couples spa suite — private room, proper massage, bubbles after. The Sunday roast at Riverbend is the local secret."
